| - I'm sorry, am I in Portland, OR? Nope, still in Phoenix -- but this outside-the-box house-turned-shop is very Portlandia, and oh-so-fun! I visited this establishment on a Thursday night to attend a slam poetry reading, held outside, and was instantly enthralled. The street that the shop is on is lined with similar homes that double as businesses, and you can hear music, laughter, and general fun being had by all as you stroll from place to place. The bookstore itself has all the requirements of a great secondhand bookstore -- places outside to sit, old, creaky wood floors, rooms and rooms of floor-to-ceiling-books, and great low prices. I didn't get to peruse the books for too long because I was drawn outside to hear some poetry being slammed -- but I'd definitely return for the books.
