Get a "jammer" - it's like a jam tart crossed with a scone - divine! They also have GREAT sack lunches.<br /><br />The Grotto if you have time.<br /><br />Walk along NE Alberta St. - lots of artsy shops & restaurants, and stop by Collage - great little arts/crafts/classes store run by Maria Raleigh.<br /><br />Monticello Antique Mall. GREAT (ie., so much better than LA) prices for little kitchy vintage thingies.<br /><br />I intend to move there, too - in the next few years. I adore Portland.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12219009870087789422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-7944625135995030492009-09-15T17:55:29.897-07:002009-09-15T17:55:29.897-07:00Thanks to everyone who keeps responding!!!

When I went in June, nearly every place we went to had moved, and that is one confusing town! We crossed the river so many times looking for something, it was crazy. Try to figure out how the town is laid out before you go. There are lots of one way streets and streets with the same name but one is NE and one is SE and so on,to make it even more confusing. You are going to need multiple hours in Powell's. It occupies an entire city block, so you can see it from all four sides from the street, but there is a parking garage that you can enter that is on the same city block as the store. There are at least two entrances also, so don't get lost inside the store. It is worth the trip even though I have made it seem a little dismal. There is also a store that sells recycled art supplies. I don't remember the name, but we didn't find it on our tight schedule, because it had moved. If I go back, I want to try again.jane eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836127400067030178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-88656034232312548122009-09-13T17:00:57.215-07:002009-09-13T17:00:57.215-07:00yummy yummy yum!
