What's new: Portland, Powell's, and The Skinny magazine
We, Josh and Helene, just got back from Portland, OR. My sister (Helene's) graduated from art school this weekend and my parents, Josh and I all met up there to go to the ceremony and spend some time with her. We were all staying in a great hotel (thanks Priceline for getting us an awesome price) at Lloyd Center.
Because Portland recently added Lloyd Center to their "Fareless Square" area, we were able to take full advantage of the MAX (the tram) for free! We sampled many restaurants so I'll be sure to share all the details as I settle back in to San Francisco life.
While in Portland, we paid a visit to one of our favorite independent bookstore, Powell's, and were happy to see that copies of our book, San Francisco: The Unknown City were on display. We offered to sign the copies so the books now have a nice yellow sticker that reads "Autographed."
Talking about independent bookstores, I recently wrote an article on big indie bookstores in the Bay Area (mainly Kepler's, Cody's and City Lights) for The Skinny magazine. The summer issue, which includes my story, is now available. It's free and it's a great read if you're interested in cool places/stuff to do/people in San Francisco so be sure to check it out.
