Powell's Books is one of the true book temples in the world. Glad you liked part two of Jenny Bucket.

I visited Portland many times when I lived in Seattle, Portland being about a four hour train ride away. A cool city for walking and exploring.

You had me at Powell's Books. What a great piece of writing, Russell. I hear from people who frequent Portland now that it is still a special place. My time there was more in the years of your story. There was Disneyland in California for the teenage me and driving north to Portland was the magic kingdom for the 30 something me.
