This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Portland, Oregon: Including the Metro Area and Vancouver, Washington (Insiders' Guides) (Paperback)

In a nice pleasant format this guide delivers what it promises, describes what's to be seen, where to go, what to expect, and helps you get around in Portland. Should be a memorable trip. Can't wait.
