The Pearl is nothing more than a middle-aged dorkfest these days. Way tooooo pricey. PDX hasn't been the same since they shut down the Alberta Clown house.

Portland is an amazing cycling city and a lot of fun too. Until Sept 8th, the Portland Art Museum has an exhibition of bicycles called Cyclepedia iconic bicycle designs. They even have Moser's 51.151 funny bike.

I'm going in the next couple of weeks. Anyone else going? It would be cool to see the exhibit with come C&V folks.

New York Times + Style Section = Silly Gobbledeegook. An amusing read for someone who has no intention of ever experiencing first hand what they are reading about.

OTOH, anything in Portland is fair game.

As for the Pearl... Yeah. It's different down there, and I wouldn't say it is very representative of the Portland style (whatever that is).

I'm going when I go to the Greg LeMond event (it will be cool to see him speak in person), I'm pretty excited, as I haven't been to the exhibit yet.

I also +1 the Pearl assessment you give.

It appears the Pearl District attempts to mimic Brooklyn.
Yet The hipster parts of Brooklyn try to imitate Portland.
Go figure!
