1. Stumptown Coffee on 3rd and Pine-A very young hip coffee joint with amazing coffee they roast themselves -yum
2. Cameron's Books and Magazines - According to the signs the place has been around for over 100 years. Its piled with older books and magazines in a wonderfully chaotic organization. Good prices too
3. Cargo - A fun and colorful import store in the pearl district full of antique and imitation antique furniture and nick knacks
4. The Multnomah County Library - Just a beautiful library with an amazing staircase and the largest collections of children's books I've ever seen.
5. Waterfront Park - For a brief time of panic I was worried about living in a place without immediate access to the open wilderness and water, then I found this park and new I'd be okay.
6. Powell's Books - Last but not least, the city of books that takes up an entire city block and still have books left over for a few other stores scattered around Portland.
Also check out Guidance Counselor and New Bloods to Portland bands I'm liking a lot right now. (Ian from Guidance Counselor works at Stumptown and is pretty funny)
That's about all I can think of for now. There's so much, I can't imagine ever being able to see it all.
Best wishes to all and hope life is treating you well.
