An excellent book!,

This review is from: City Smart: Portland (Paperback)
I loved it. It was funny and witty and interesting. For the person moving to Portland, this book is for you. It outlines the areas where one should and should not live. It give detailed and interesting reviews of everything from children's parks to gay bars. It illustrated the history of Portland perfectly and was a hoot to boot. Five stars!

Best information beyond a vacation,

This review is from: City Smart: Portland (Paperback)
When you browse through the US Travel books for something on Oregon or Portland, this is the one book that you can find that goes beyond the cool places, the neat restaurants and the best deals in hotels. It's comprehensive in terms of including information that a person considering the move to the city will find extremely useful! Thanks, City Smart!

Great Book, With A Few Omissions,

This review is from: City Smart: Portland (Paperback)
CITY SMART: PORTLAND is a great guide to the Portland, OR, metro area, with lengthy discussions on all the culture, recreation, dining, shopping, and other stuff you'll need to know while visiting there. However, the radio station listing comes up very short, failing to include rock stations KUFO, KRVO, KINK, and KGON. Other than that, though, this book is wonderful, so don't pass it up.
