I envy anyone moving to Portland this summer. This is one of my favorite cities and I’ve often longed to move here myself. However, it’s just not in the cards for me. Portland is a great city for anyone who loves reading, rainfall, grey skies, tax-free shopping, outdoor recreation, the arts, and fine beer or wine.

Shopping is awesome here. In fact, when I used to travel to Portland for business twice a year, I would always save up money for a shopping frenzy. Then I’d box up anything that wouldn’t fit in my suitcase and ship it back to Pittsburgh tucked in amongst our trade show shipment.

For wine tasting and scrumptious seafood dinners, I recommend Southpark downtown. This restaurant features an extensive wine list with the opportunity to try expensive vintages by sharing a glass with fellow diners; bringing the individual price to a reasonable level. You’ll try wines you never thought possible here.

Other sites to see include the Japanese Garden, OMSI, Powell’s Books, or even a picnic at Pittock Mansion. If you love the outdoors you’ll appreciate the bike friendly trails and urban paths. You can get around Portland easily by riding the people mover or taking a bus. The Saturday Market is an event that you won’t want to miss either with hundreds of artisans selling jewelry, pottery, candles, and more outdoors. You’ll experience live entertainment and music every weekend at the Saturday Market on the west side of Portland.
