"Fast" is not normally a term I associate with our beloved city of Portland. "Friendly," yes. "Beautiful," definitely. But Oregonians tend to take their sweet time sipping tea and coffee, savoring slow food, and moseying down the highway at a leisurely 5 miles under the speed limit (<-- this still flabbergasts me). But there we are at #2 on Real Simple's 21 Top Time-Saving Cities. Perhaps it's not as much about being "fast" as efficient. Real Simple cites our light rail system, bike-friendliness, abundance of food carts, and one more thing... speedy emergency services that translate to one of the highest cardiac-arrest survival rates.
So I guess that's a pretty amazing bragging right - even if it comes at the expense of our easygoing reputation.
P.S. You can help increase that cardiac-arrest survival rate even more by taking a CPR and AED class!
