Just read the article on huffpo.
Its really ironic, as I just took a vacation up in Vancouver 2 weekends ago - and I completely agree with the author!
It was actually kind of a boring visit, as beyond the really expensive architecture, there really wasn't much to do in the city beyond shopping at chain stores, eating really good chinese/japanese/korean food, or drinking coffee at starbucks or Tim Horton's. I think we ran across 3 bars/pubs the entire time we were there... kind of sad, really. I think Portland has many more options for food and drink nowadays... although not the quality or breadth of asian food that Vancouver has.
Our Powell's Books and their Granville Island are kind of a wash, tho.
