As one other reviewer noted, this guide book is great for those folks contemplating a move to Portland. Great ideas for restaurants and places to visit. The one imporvement would be a few more detailed maps of metro Portland, but then again, with smart phones and GPS devices, this may be a nit-pickung comment.
