I love PT, lived there awhile in the early 90's. This is my experience there, too. People are dicks in PT until they get to know you.....sometimes. Sometimes they're always going to be dicks to you. Or they except you only to kick you to the curb later.

I grew up in a smallish town, Astoria, OR, and people there don't have that edge. Maybe it's because of the art/craftsman/quirky outcast thing in PT and the working-class/rough around the edges/haven't got the pretentiousness in Astoria. PT lost it's allure for me pretty quickly. They could be nice....they don't want to be.

Everyone I’ve met in person has been really nice. I joined next door against my better judgement, because a neighbor suggested it as a way to find referrals for landscapers and such. It’s not so much “ oh my god there’s a teenager in a hoodie”, it more bitching about the roads or why they don’t want the golf course touched. Some people on next door are not welcoming let’s say. Oh well. So sad./s
