Powell’s: It’s not Portland without it

As any reader who ever comes to Portland knows, it’s impossible to ignore Powell’s Books . A full block of every kind of book known to humankind, its main warehouse – there is no other word for it – sits with a main entrance on 10th and Burnside. That’s barely five blocks from our hotel, which means that we – or I, at least – have stopped by there three times in our not-quite-two-day stay.

And we’ll probably hit it again.
