Why Do Eugenians Like Eugene?

I am a Eugene native growing up in this lush, outdoor and organic friendly Willamette Valley.  I love gardening, bicycling, swimming, concertizing, and performing music.  I was born in 1968, and over that time, I have seen Eugene, change very little.  It was a tree filled, health food haven then, and still remains a beautiful, friendly small city.  I love to drive to the top of Skinner Butte in the fall to look at the canopy of colorful trees covering the city.  
     I play music with my wife Shelley James in numerous groups, feeling totally blessed to be able to travel around the region to bring special music to events.  Our music has taken us all over the world.  We've seen lots of different types of places, and I conclude that Eugene is truly one of the most blessed regions of the entire world.  With its wineries, green rolling hills, world class art, music, track & field, organic farms, restaurants, and bike paths, the Eugene/Springifield area is an incredibly livable region.  In fact, the country living that some find in the multitude of surrounding small towns adds to the appeal.  Without much time or traffic one can find themselves out in gorgeous farmland, looking at properties with acreage, privacy, quiet, and other country delights.
