That's right Portland, Oregon the 5th most tatooed city in the United States.........it's very nice here, very green and sometimes very rainy. I'm visiting my first Grand Child Maxx........Maxx is 2 months old and a blast........:0074
I'm in Portland, Oregon........ever been?
- Thread starter The Boys
- Start date
Not even counting the tattooed folks - Portland is the weirdest city in America - meaning - weird people.
I don't know about weird, there sure a lot of hippies and art types living here. It's a perfect home for the Vegan/vegaterian and a very large amout of coffee houses, and I mean really good coffee........:0corn
Go to the Rose Garden ! !
I am trying to remember of the Seafood Restaurant downtown. A+++++
Salmon and Chips :00hour
Sea Bass :00hour
Trout :00hour
I think it's Jakes :shrug:
Trampled Underfeet is a Portland Dweller
I have many relatives from the area

I grew up a few hours away, where the hippies were less structured with rules, less earnestly egalitarian. Powell's bookstore, "largest independent new and used bookstore in the world" is one place I always visit. They have a big selection of gambling books. My favorite restaurant in the Pearl District there by Powell's is Paragon. Besides fine food, they have superb cocktails.
The brewpubs in Portland are some of the best in the US as they've been around there a long time.
If you have time, the worthwhile day trips are to Astoria, a large working fishing city on the coast with history. Or a drive up the Columbia Gorge, on the old highway, for scenery.

opcorn2Flew into Portland about a year ago and then drove across the river to Vancouver, WA. Beautiful place this time of year. Weather was gorgeous when I was there. Very nice bars/restaraunts along the river.
Portland has per capita the most micro brews and strip clubs ... just relaying info from my buddy that lives there :SIB

I rarely go to strip clubs anymore. I just know a few pretty well. They are nice to have around.
I grew up here so the weather doesn't bother me at all. Plus the beer is great. It blows me away when I travel and some bars have only Bud and Coors Light on tap.
