Visitor Observations
Hi I posted a while back asking for info on the area since my partner and I were considering a move from Nevada. We just got back from spending a week there to do a vibe check and here are my thoughts!
Grants Pass: Feels like a small town with lots of opportunity for enterprising people. Your downtown is so cute with all the little local businesses and I liked how all the big chain stores were in a different part of town. We talked to lots of locals and everyone was so nice and sang praises about the community. It’s got an undiscovered (or up and coming) vibe for sure. Could use a little more of a food scene but the places we ate were good. Nice trails and outdoor rec opportunity. We only saw four Trump signs in the area so that was nice. Loved the farmers market.
Applegate/Jacksonville: Cute little towns. Bet they’re popping with tourists in the main season.
Cave Junction: I felt like I could easily buy drugs there.
Medford: Nice clean city. Great little farmers market. We didn’t spend a lot of time there. The Mexican food was mid.
Overall we really liked the whole region. Very clean and nice vibes. Your prices are really good. Love all the farms and locally made stuff. We had a good laugh with the gas stations attendants when we learned about full service. We will be back for sure!
