Currently in Portland for a visit. Having a lovely time despite a stretch of truly dreary weather. Portland is like a terrific and funny girlfriend who unfortunately suffers from severe depression. Long stretches of sigh-filled gloom punctuated by little bouts where she perks perks up and you remember why you love the crazy little chick so much.
Not that I'm drawing on my life experiences for that analogy or anything. Oh no, not me.
On my ongoing adventures in drinking, I recently enjoyed visiting The Green Dragon, a pub in inner SE Portland that actually distills its own booze. There's a huge picture window in the front where you can look in at several shiny stills hard at work. It also manages to make its warehouse esthetic feel comfortable and relaxed. All in all a very cool place to tipple.

I like your Portland analogy.

I've never been to Portland but have always wanted to go. Now that I know its like a crazy girl (who I always fall in love with) I want to go even more. Once I leave L.A. (and yes, I WILL leave L.A. ) Portland or Seattle look like my next port of call.
