I prefer to buy a real tree because there's nothing like having one. It just makes Christmas better!

I'd rather support Oregon families AND clean air than a Chinese factory.

Ben Hargis

There's enough fake in this world. I'll take real.

Angel Jin

Old fashioned.

I really prefer a real tree, but I gave up on them a few years ago. I bought a really beautiful, real-looking fake tree at Home Depot several years ago, that already has lights and red berries and pine cones. and a little flocking. It still looks great. Am very happy with it!

Don't actually celebrate Christmas. I celebrate Hanukkah, but I do like the real trees when I see them around.

I prefer an artificial one because I can use it the next year.

Allergic to real trees!

Michael Miller

We've had an artificial tree for years and it's paid for itself many times over. The last real tree we bought soon began to smell like rotting vegetation.

Dianne Price

It's good for many years! If it gets dusty--put it in the shower!!

Gabe West

We had a real tree once that got dry and alot of needles fell out

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Ka San

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Michael Turpin

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Jay B Lane

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
