Spend the an hour or two in Powell Books. It is an entire block of old buildings, interior ripped out, now a huge book store with discount books. If Amazon was a physical bookstore, this would be it. Portlanders drink coffee, check e-mail, and read away the afternoon in its windows.
Have a donut at VooDoo Donuts. I'm sure there is somebody you can think of who needs to have their head bitten off! jk :)
Try on vintage clothing at any number of second-hand stores on East Burnside before catching a dollar movie at:
The LaurelHurst Theatre where you can buy wine and vegan pizza to snack on while catching a flick! Suprisingly, the dollar movie and wine is very, very hip in Portland. It seemed oddly appopriate that we watched Alice in Wonderland.
Yes, Portland is a little weird, but also kind of oddly fun.

Looks like an excellent time in Wonderland. :)
What where you doing in Portland? Was just this a fun little get away?
We were supposed to be camping on the Oregon Coast, but there was a huge rain storm for a few days so we stayed instead at my friend's brother's house in Portland.
Sounds almost as fun as camping on the coast?!? I haven't seen that movie yet, but you're right - Portland is probably a better place to see it! Glad you made the most of the rain and made some fun memories for us to scrap!
Looks like a super fun trip! That book store would be way fun to walk around in for a while!
