Well if its a foot in the door I need then it'll have to do, and I'll have to find the best I can at the time.

Good news though, my current recruitment consultant works with a few forging companies in the US, one in Detroit, one near Chicago and the other near Buffalo by the falls, and he asked me if I would want to work in the US. ....

Now you're talking, and getting closer to reality. A visit to Portland, OR to look at houses is unlikely to help you at all. If you're dead set on coming over for research purposes, a road trip from Buffalo, NY to Chicago, (and back?) is likely much more relevant for your line of work, through the rust belt of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana.

Fairly sure Sky TV is not the only source of news out there. I may be wrong though!

You would be able to get a huge house in Detroit though!

I would suggest Ann Arbor but it's a bit far too commute. This conversation might help you http://www.city-data.com/forum/detro...e-between.html

Grosse Pointe is nice, I hear (a good friend and colleague of mine is from there), with some dÃ¤mned expensive houses, but with some that are more affordable, and some rentals. ..... Search for Grosse Pointe, MI, at zillow.com.
