4.0 out of 5 stars Fun reading for a baby boomer that grew up there..., April 12, 2000

This is a definite fun read. If you grew up in Portland in the 50's and 60's, like I did, it's a wonderful stroll down memory lane as well as a good refresher on what's been going on since. Seems very close to the truth, at least on the topics I'm in a position to judge. Only knock is it's a little too Seattle oriented for my blood!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book full of unusual facts!, April 12, 2000

I'm a native Southerner, so reading this book about the Pacific Northwest was a lot of fun. The writers have a unique voice that makes this book much more than a mere compendium of facts. Each piece is written with a lot of humor and insight. Anyone interested in pop culture should own this book!

I assume this should get a high rating because my son-in-law asked for it spectifically for Christmas. I don't actually know anything about it.
