Powell’s Book Store, Portland, Oregon
Today was very interesting. Here we are at the world famous (and very big by the way) bookstore in Portland, Oregon. In the picture is Tara who worked for Pages for a year, Kelly my oldest daughter, Sean my youngest (and only) son, yours truly, and Kiara, Sean’s daughter. We are blocking the checkout line to slow down the 5 registers that were running full blast.
This is probably one of a kind bookstore in downtown Portland. It takes up a block plus 4 stories. Not the book kind but the stairs kind. They have more stores spread around town plus 3 at the airport. Jeese! Powell’s had more shoppers in one aisle at any moment than we have in our store all day. But one consolation – their rare books did not even approach ours. Yea for Pages!
Here is just a little note on the people in the picture to bring everyone up on family history. Tara has moved from Phoenix-Georgia-Portland to continue her education in book publishing. She is a voracious reader and loves English history. Kelly lives in Seattle and is in the mortgage processing business. She loves living in Seattle. Why? Sean and Kiara live in Eugene, home of the Ducks. Everyone has heard of the University of Oregon Ducks because of their uniforms. It is definitely worth watching them in sports because of their colorful outfits. I am on the right and definitely photogenic as you probably guessed.
There is probably more I want to elucidate here but it is time for a VO.
