The dream of the 90's is alive in Portland...portland...portland....

Sorry, not trying to pull a Smitty...just a catchy song. I grew up just outside of Portland...I second the rose garden idea as well as the Japanese gardens nearby. Great place to go with the wife if the weather is decent.

If you love the outdoors, do yourself a favor and visit Multnomah Falls (and several other smaller but no less beautiful waterfalls) along the Columbia River Gorge Highway. Vista House is a nice little stop along the way there.

So much to do.. Afraid I will not have the time in the weekend.

If I were me and were going to Portland for the first time, on a limited time, I'd for sure want to stay at McMenamin's "Kennedy School"...:

http://www.mcmenamins.com/427-kennedy-school-home

...why?

The place is the coolest hotel you'll ever stay in. Well, OK, maybe quirkiest......but, in a good way.
Prices are very reasonable for the room.
They have a cigar room, on site.
They have a micro brewery, on site. Their beer is quite tasty..!!
They have a couple of different places to eat, on site.
They are right on the bus line, so getting downtown or transfering to Max, etc. is a snap.
It's about 20 mins. away from my house across the river in Vancouver, WA so I could come by for a smoke...

Food for thought - B.B.S.

I like me some Terminator Stout or Hammerhead... sometimes together

When I was a kid in the 80's I would always go with my dad to Cornelius Pass Roadhouse and get a few large mason jars of Hammerhead and Terminator stout. I would always get a sip of both to make sure they were good of course.

These guys were the original microbrewery in Portland. Sure there was Henery's but they were mass market. It is a shame that they either have been surpassed(their beer is not very good anymore) or gone down hill.

Ah.....Imbrie Hall. I live about 3 miles from it. Nice summertime cigar and scotch tastings there now!

Trip is booked. I will be in Portland from May 26-28. I am staying at the Hilton in the downtown area.

If some Portland guys want to jump on a place to meet.. I am there.

If not, I will stop at a few shops alone.. Looking forward to Portland and seeing/meeting some of you guys!

We will have just gotten back from our trip to Palm Springs, so I'm a very soft maybe. Call the Mark Cigar Bar at the Shilo Inn at 9900 SW Canyon Road to see if they will be open for breakfast on Sunday. Good crowd, excellent venue, and some people from here.
