The city's character: hippie central. Home to a lot of stuck-in-the-sixties long-haired aging stoners. Laid-back in a mostly good way, occasionally a bit annoying. Political interests are pretty much environmental and foreign-policy related. And animal-rights related. Marijuana, meth abuse, and hunger are apparently widespread, although not necessarily across the same demographics. Bikes and bike lanes are big, as are organic food, co-ops, farmer's markets, craft markets, incense, tattoos, bike theft, and arson (of SUV dealerships and, more recently, the local Greyhound station). Recycling is de rigeur. Lots of Kucinich supporters.
