And then you have the retirement magazine touting Southern OR and Grants Pass as the number one retirement areas in the nation. Not once...... but three different occasions. Also the close neighbors of Jacksonville and other communities. All in the eye of the beholder...... I was born and raised in WA, traveled, lived and worked in many of these United States and for 20 years have been in the Rouge Valley. Wouldn't be anywhere else. More arts, music, outdoor activities than anywhere I've lived. In fact, during a study, it was found that, per capita, there are more artists and musician in the Rogue Valley than anywhere on the entire West Coast. Must be why on any given weekend there are so many choices of things to do, you can't decide! Perspective.........
hey dude I live in Grants Pass OR and I love it we have one of the best high schools in southern Oregon so just shut up and don't talk about us like that again!!!
I Live in grants pass and I'm pretty g*d damm sure we have better grades then your hometown has. Unless you took North middle school grades.its full of queers stoners and goths
Hey I live in grants a*s. That was spot on... Wait... F**k
This is such a great little river town. The people are friendly and the climate is amazing. Not too terribly hot in the summer and the winters are mild. The rainfall is nice and the surrounding forest is green and beautiful. The schools are good, although most are quite old and need lots of repairs but the teachers are great.
Some of the best places to visit is the Rogue River for sure. There are rafting trips you can take. There are plenty of opportunities for fishing and the coast is only about 2 hours away if you want to go to the beach. The California Redwoods are nearby and the drive there is one of the most beautiful you will ever take.
