If you make it into down town, powells bookstore is on burnside st between 10th and 11th street,across burnside st to the south is an area of portland known as the pink triangle, if your running low on whips,chains, leather undies or dog collars this is the place to find them. For my money I'd head up burnside st (west) to NW 23rd st and take to the side walks. Good luck I hope you enjoy your visit. blue skies jerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harryskydives 0 #28 June 20, 2003 Yesterday we drove to Cannon Beach, left work a little early. 1.5hr from downtown Portland. Walked on the beach, had some chowder overlooking the attached photos, drank a little wine. One of my teammates had a house just off the beach, we drove back this morning got to work shortly after lunch time. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
