 The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland From the few times i've visited, some of this rings true. I mean all you have to think about is Bwana for god's sake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVmq9dq6 ... r_embedded

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland Portlandia is quirky and funny. yes is stereotyping the poor citizens but that's what makes it funny. most Portlandians I ask about the show are a bit indifferent to it. "Were really not like that. well, 2% of the people downtown are like that, but not everyone else...."

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland I got to see some of the backlash unfold firsthand and that was pretty funny. There's some of the show that rings true but a lot of it that could be just as fittingly applied to Brooklyn/Williamsburg and a million other hip circles. I did move to the town to retire though, so there's that.

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland Hi all. I'm a native of Portland's unloved hillbilly suburb, Vancouver.
While the store is gone (and none to friendly) I will always fondly remember Dr. Tongue's 3D House of Toys.
Have been to Grass Hut, but have not met Bwana. I also miss Just Be Toys, before it morphed into Complex.
Powells books, and Billy Galaxy are musts if you're in town.

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland Cool pictures! Moshi Moshi has since closed, but we have gained http://www.wondernorthwest.com/ And Billy Galaxy has gotten more crammed with toys, and reconfigured. It's one of the most inviting spots for browsing, I think. Grass Hut and Floating World have a new location too.

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland You to! Like I said, I'm kinda slow on the uptake. Will be stopping by more often. Also Voodoo Donuts and Rogue Brewing* jumped the shark. Together: http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/Blo ... nk-bottles*Debatable, they may both have jumped long before this.

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland i found this place by accident a while back. Open hours are strange but if you're in the area and are into transformers its worth checking out. The prices seemed way too high but its fun to look at his stuff.

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland I worked on that side of town for a while, and they were never open. Didn't return calls, no posted hours.
Dead to me.

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland I'm guessing he's afraid to say, lest it invite to many unwanted visitors gawking at the collection!

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland The Munktiki show at Grass Hut is pretty wonderful. Really wanted to buy one of these: http://www.munktiki.com/index.php?main_ ... cts_id=425 He'd make a great vinyl.

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland coincidentally I just sent a link to "Harajuku Girls in Coffee land" to my coworker this morning.

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland That's pretty much any of the Portland suburbs.  Or suburbs anywhere really.

Re: The Dream of the 90's is Alive in Portland I have to take that back, Vancouver has a horrible inferiority complex when it comes to Portland, so that sets it apart from the other 'burbs. toybotstudios wrote: i had no idea there was a city in WA named Vancouver. That must be confusing I think we were the first one, too. Bad enough when I'm anywhere outside the NW, and say I'm from Washington. "Oh, DC!" "No, State, Vancouver, WA." "Canada?" Portland works better as a point of reference.

Portland is very proud of having more breweries per capita then any other city (this isn't actually true, but we all say it like it's a fact).
