Food Friendly City: Portland, Oregon
World's Fare By Marguerite Thomas
On the western edge of Oregon where the Willamette and Columbia rivers meet, lies Portland, Oregon, one of North America's finest epicurean destinations.
I'm not just talking about expensive gourmet restaurants, although there is no lack of these here too.
What I am referring to is the kind of genuine food culture that may be a way of life in other countries (France & Italy come to mind), but is less common in the US.

Rainy Day Ideas
I admire people who bike, hike, and go for long walks in the rain. But not all Oregonians are so hearty. I tend to stay indoors a bit more during the fall and winter.
