I've never been through Portland without a visit to Powell's. In case you're not counting, I think this makes it my third visit and every time we walk away with some fantastic finds. Yeah, it's an entire city block so that can be just a bit overwhelming. Three levels of books, with used and new side by side on the shelf. Much of our time is spent in the children's area, naturally. I'm often found browsing the Africana, Travel and Art shelves. Gabe pretty much plunked himself right next to the TinTin books. Mika and Emily roamed with Emma and Amanda trying to find some cheap used pop fiction.
After two hours or so with a crew the size of ours, it was time to move on and head home. Powells is always worth a visit. Make sure you check it out if you come to Portland. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! (And check out this brief history...interesting).
