If you can ignore the traffic problems, Portland has a lot to offer the tourist. It’s a dense city, things are close together. And everywhere you go there’s a new neighborhood with it’s own personality.<\/p>\n
I checked out Hawthorne Street today, a neighborhood in the Southeast quarter. Powells Books has a big store there (I picked up three more titles), I checked out the grocery store, and on a tip from a local visited the Third Eye Shoppe, a classic headshop.<\/p>\n
New Seasons Market is a neighborhood supermarket found in particularly dense residential areas. It is entirely full service, excellent quality throughout, but has no parking. Bikes and foot is how it works best in Portland.<\/p>\n
Third Eye is a classic. Pretty much an exact match for 1968 headshops though it hasn’t been there since then. Fun place to re-live those old days, but they didn’t have the incense going at full blast. Ever wonder what was in the incense smoke back then?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
