Love the way it's laid out, with maps showing which peaceful places are located in each neighborhood or metro region, and the places indexed by category. Love the mixture of old favorites like the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden and Forest Park, with little out-of-the-way places I've never heard of. Most of all, I love Paul Gerald's easygoing, honest voice that makes him feel like the ideal traveling companion for the outings he describes. This would be a perfect welcoming gift for friends or family moving to Portland, but I've lived here 20 years and it will take a prominent spot on my shelf full of Oregon things-to-do books.

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. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
