I have LOVED Lithia Water all my life (I'm 70).

[Arete]

You didn't mention the smoke. This year so far it's not so bad but most summers there is so much forest fire smoke it's unhealthy to even go outside. I'm glad you mentioned the traffic. My family all says it's just fine. They don't mind circling downtown for an hour trying to find a place to park. They don't mind waiting a half hour at a restaurant to get a seat. Dodging pedestrians, deer, it's tough.

[zentai]

pushing their views down eveyones throat.... like fire safety? sheesh. ashland is under threat from fires as i write this and the "aggressive" city council deserves a bit of credit instead of condemnation.

but i would like to add that your views are pretty balanced about my town. ashland is def a better spot by comparison to our neighbor towns, if you like to do things.
cheers 🍻

It's a cute town. We always drive through on the way to the Oregon Coast, but we got to spend a few days in Ashland recently while helping the kid move into her dorm at SOU. Long term, I think I'd be concerned about another wildfire coming through like what happened four years ago.

[TheSalMaris]

The water is great— but I’ve been drinking it since I can remember in the fifties. Thanks

[ldfm-zr]

If this is a negative list I’d love to see a positive list. 😂 Especially when you’ve been there and can put these things in context.

[GPhilipArnold]

I'm a 43 year Ashland resident. The items mentioned by the presenter are almost entirely positive. I tried lithia water 43 years ago and haven't drunk it since. Ashland is a desirable place to live.

Wait! I think I'll adopt Mr. Simmons' approach: Stay away from Ashland. It's so good we want it all to ourselves. 🤣

[jillkthomas]

Thank you for this. Most appreciated. Next time can you talk about the smoke? Its so bad in the summer that it keeps you locked in the house working from home for days at a time. Something for outsiders who are thinking about moving here to be aware of.

LITHIUM is a mood stabilizer that can be ingested naturally, the famous Doc Holiday routinely drank from CO springs for medical benefits.

I WILL NEVER GO TO A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT JUST LIKE ME

[lildad]

man my parents are looking at moving to Ashland and this list had me scared for second especially the water but now that ive finished watching i couldnt help but laugh at most of these. I could see how these could be concerns for some but coming from California this place seems like a good place. I travel an hour to my work in the mountains from Fresno because I prefer being in a beautiful place with people that have a sense of community so being less than 30 minutes from a big city is perfect lol.

[mlissgay]

have you evet lived there! ❤" the world is as you are"

[zaposatta]

your website is no longer running? what's your new website.

[georgekramer]

While Ashland's current government leadership is fairly absurd, the rest of the comments here (the location, the elevation, the tourists, the "hippies?") seem a bit of a reach. Ashland doesn't really need you to "promote" it. We've done pretty well for decades and, if newcomers don't ruin us, we'll do just fine in the future too. Don't want to move here? PLEASE DON'T.

[DaGroupPleinAir]

Sounds like a perspective of someone who is not a liberal; more like a conservative Republican. Ashland is more expensive because it is progressive. Please check your political bias.

[aquariusthird]

Sounds like they believe in the climate crisis and are acting accordingly. Which makes sense given the wildfire smoke. Good for them.

[katdahlia]

Thanks Looks like I would like to be away from Ashland lol

[joarawa]

you forgot to mention it’s a sundown town lol

[EdwardMasler]

If you think that it is your g'd given right to burn methane go sell real estate in Central Pennsylvania, South Dakota or Oklahoma where the fracking industry has decimated the land, poisoned the water and the air. It is environmentally immoral to install new gas appliances. Your other comments are petty or just wrong. We do however have a lively class struggle here which plays itself out in our city council meetings.
