My husbands out in Hood River as I write assessing the feasibility of purchasing a sailboard manufacturing business. So far he's please with what he's finding, so I guess its time I take this option seriously and consider WHAT DO I WANT?! We have a 7 month old and a 2 1/2 yr old. We vacationed in Hood River before kids so I am somewhat familiar with the area. What's the kids life like out there? Are there good child care centers, since I will likely try to find some parttime job? What's the 'at-home-mom' life like (since I'm used to a fulltime job with DEC now) - are there libraries?, culture things to do with the kids?, informal play groups? What's winter like with kids (we all ski at a great area within 25 minutes from our current house)? what's public schools like? Any inputs would be appreciated!

Hood River is about 100 miles from Portland. The area is depressed. If the business is well thought and the market is there for it; Hood River is great place away from the big city of Portland. The sceniero that I draw is we live in Colorado Springs. It was a great area to live when the economy is great but when it gets tough, there's no jobs at all. When we lived in California, we both had to work but we could live on one salary and bank the other's salary. Now my job went away and we're looking to have to dig into our safety money to move and find a job; either one of us. I know that business is not the greatest in the NE but if you both have jobs, stay there. But then if you're young (like between 25 to 35) go for it as you will never realize the american dream if you stay put. God's blessings be with you. calvin | |||||

My brother lives in Hood River, and likes it. But then, he's a
wind-surfer and Hood River is the best place in the U.S. to go
wind-surfing, he says.
