Portland view - Portland, Oregon

Tax-free - Oregon is one of only five states (next to New Hampshire, Montana, Delaware, and Alaska) where the price you see on the product is what you pay at the checkout. 

Portland, like few other cities in the world, is crazy about growing vegetables and fruit on its own. There are more than 50 public gardens in the city, and in front of houses in some neighborhoods, instead of a neatly trimmed lawn, you can see flower beds full of edible plants - an unusual sight for the US.
