Portland has a very alternative energy to it. Right now half of it like the Pearl District has the energy of a smaller SOHO, with upscale condos, lofts, streetcars, and so much art. Powell's bookstore, the biggest in the country, is their. Then there's the other half of Portland, the Portland I grew up with, which is alternative, leftist, hippie, working-class, and sinful. Portland has the most strip clubs per capita, more in number even than SF, and the most breweries per capita. It's got a bit of an SF vibe, very liberal but less pretentious. Around Pioneer Square the community gathers and plans mischief, it's pretty cool. It does have energy, just not the type a religious person or conservative might be into.
Ya, know you described it so well. Thats how I remember it...like 4yrs ago.
What was I thinking!

When is the next flight, I'm packing my bags as soon as my partner gets home from work. Any good hotels that accept pets. My dog goes wherever I go. Off-leash dog parks....where would those be?

Although, I should, hurry up, mow and fertilize my suburban lawn, first.
