Top 10 Off-Beat Portland Sights
“Portland is an off-beat kinda place, even having long echoed the unofficial city mantra “Keep Portland Weird.” In honor of the city’s “weird” spirit, we present for your consideration Portland’s Top 10 Off-Beat Sights. These are the locations and attractions that are representative of the glorious weirdness that, to me, is part of the essence of this unique city. If you happen to be a bit off-beat yourself, wanna see Portland in all its finest oddity or if you’ve simply already plumbed all the more standard fare, consider checking out these sights for something a bit… different.”
Amtrak Train Ride: A Review
“I won’t tell you to skip out on taking an Amtrak train ride, in fact, if you’ve always wanted to, I highly encourage that you do so, but I will recommend that you start out with a shorter trip – just a day or two. My perception of the experience was definitely different due to the extended length of our particular transit. Try doing a section just from east, west or southern coast to Chicago or vice versa and find out for yourself what you think of the experience!”
Book Review : The Lost City of the Monkey God
“The novel makes you think about some things we tend to forget about when we travel such as: preserving ancient places and not trying to take them back with us, catching travel bugs or diseases, and making sure we honor the cultures we visit. I believe these few tips are ones we don’t think to much of but make a huge impact if everyone ignores them.”
A Visit to the Portland Art Museum
” Museums are an often over-looked option for tourists, with each major city having a few and that constant availability being less exciting, perhaps, than the obviously unique sights. Nevertheless, there is a wealth of uniqueness here in the invaluable experience and one-of-a-kind pieces you will only get a chance to view here at the PAM. Don’t miss out, because for less than $20 you can be inspired and educated in a way you won’t soon forget.”
