Peaceful Places Portland : 103 Tranquil Sites in the Rose City and Beyond Paperback / softback
by Paul Gerald
Part of the Peaceful Places series
Paperback / softback
Description
Everybody knows about Portland's food scene, its outdoor recreation, its bike lanes, beer pubs, and coffee shops.
Whether you call it Stumptown or Bridgetown -- or even PDX -- Portland has been mocked as the city where young people go to retire.
But seemingly every weekend there's a festival, organized bike ride, political march, or something else clamoring for participation.
In short, Portland is a happening town. Seeking out the places or times when the crowds will be elsewhere, Paul Gerald give travelers the essence of what each place is about -- what makes it peaceful or inviting.
But he does not stint on also giving readers all the detailed info they need to get there at the crowd-free time.
The theme that carries throughout the book is a simple one: Portland is a great city, but it's still a city, and sometimes folks just need a break.
