Going to check out a possible job in Portland, OR, and will be there for 4 days. Having never been there, what's good to do there, besides stand in the rain?
I'll be there over Easter weekend. Also, for the pipers out there, are there any good pipe stores in the Portland, Vancouver WA area? WWhermit ![]() |

Some of the best public skateboard parks in the world are around the portland area. Also, some of the best craft breweries. I suggest checking out beerfly for reviews of bars http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/

I enjoyed some pub hopping in old town and went to Powell's Bookstore-huge! We visited one enormous Rose garden and herfed with the Stumptown boys-

Umm, herf with us?!! ![]() Do you know what part of town you'll be in? Most of us Stumptown herfers are West of the city. I'm not a piper, but from what I've seen and heard, Cascade Cigar & Tobacco seems to have a pretty good selection of pipe baccy. |

I'll actually be staying in a Lodge just east of Vancouver, WA, but for business purposes, will probably be spending most of my time in Portland.
I'll also be scouting out the possibility of moving up there in a few years, so want to check out the difference between Vancouver and Portland, cost of living, etc. Thanks for all the ideas so far. Gives me something to work with. WWhermit ![]() |

If you are into books, check out Powell's books. The main store is downtown. Awesome store for book lovers, and everyone else too. ![]()

THE pipe store in Portland is Rich's (http://www.richscigar.com/)
both of my good pipes are from them, although I like some of the blends that Paul's Cigars has and you can smoke in their west side (Beaverton) store. For a cigar, there is no place better than a Stumptown herf. Rumors abound (as far as I can tell ... I'm jet lagged) that a herf at the Shilo is planned. Give us real dates (I'm Catholic, but have no idea when Easter is) and we'll "git er done".
