    The other day, the subject of which blazers lived in portland proper, came up. I know Channing loved the city itself. My friends claimed Bayless did as well. I thought I heard that Bill Walton used to roll up on a bicycle to the games, making me think he lived in town. Who else has avoided the suburbs?

    Good Question! Always wondered the same. I can't see G-Wall fitting in Lake Oswego

    Greg Oden, has a sick penthouse at the base of west hills overlooking downtown Portland

    Most of them live in LO or Tualitin because its close to the practice facility which is where they spend most of their time during the season.

    I'm pretty sure they built the practice facility there because of where the blazers lived, not the other way around.

    Steve Johnson lived over in Alameda about a block from where I grew up. Terrell Brandon built a place right in our neighborhood and lives there to this day. Not a Blazer, but. Ime was only a Blazer for awhile, but lived back in our old neighborhood as well. I think the location to the PF where they spend 85% of their time is the reason for where they live.

    My Aunt lives in that house now. Nice pad.

    Martell lives/lived in the West Hills. I was grocery shopping with him at the QFC on Barnes just before training camp started.

    Seems like most of the front office people move to Lake Oswego.

    Fwiw, Daniel Baldwin moved to Lake O!
