i live in vancouver and my neighbors yell at me for blasting bouji music sorry it is better than what you listen to stuff when back when there were dinisours did you get to ride one hunny boo boo-
I grew up and currently live in Vancouver, WA. It is a suburb that seems like a small town at times. It is a calmer city than Portland with all the conveniences and walking trails, a nice waterfront, and a historical fort.
Watch out for congested roads and drivers who do not know what they are doing.
