First of all, to cognize Portland is to cognize that it is not a city. Portland is a culture. We may not always be on the same page, but together we’re writing a actually nice story. Ultimately, it’s a story just about America, the way it used to be – before every corner block in every city offered the same three restaurants, before drive out of one town and into another became an indistinguishable experience, before the illusion of select became mistaken for freedom.
But this book isn’t a political manifesto. It’s a celebration. It’s an exaltation just about the way in which Portlanders have banded together to rejoice in difference. In the process we couldn’t help but set ourselves apart. The intention of this book then is just to share the route in which the unique and special are manifested inside Portland’s distinct and unreproducible neighborhoods, their businesses, and their people.
Rather than just list and review establishments, however, we thought you mightiness find yourself better able to navigate the overplus of options accessible in our fine town of over four-score separately titled neighborhoods if we devised a pattern of approach. In another words, we’ve unsuccessful to do Portland much mentally accessible, possible to wrap your mind around, by conceiving every chapter as representing a some hypothetic weekend, each with its own theme.
You can follow one of our themed weekends from A-Z...or you can choose to sit back, laugh yourself silly and have a great time mix and matching ideas from chapter to chapter, creating your own absolutely tailored, exceptionally unique Portland weekend. Even as if you ne'er leave the couch, you'll have a great time!

Instead, the pages see like a friend having taken you by the arm, attractive and guiding you into and through the Portland that does Portland tick and that Portlanders themselves call home.
