I did the Shanghai Tunnels Tour on one trip to Portland - I guess it's one of those ghost hunter attractions. I didn't see anything but I kept smelling vanilla every now and then during the tour. I got this cool photo. It was the dummy that falls through the dead man drop; it had no head and I know the only reason the light captured there is due to the slow shutter speed of my camera and the flashlights they give you to walk int he tunnels. Still looks cool.

Also cool to check out is McMenamin's Kennedy Street School. It's an old elementary school that they turned into a hotel/restaurant/movie theater/bar(s). The hotel rooms still have chalkboards in them and the littlest of the bars is in the old detention hall. They also have really good root beer that they brew themselves.

i can vouch for this. did some good drinking action there.
oh and if it hasn't been mentioned yet
you gotta go geek out at ground kontrol

+1 Japanese Garden
+1 Mcmenamins anything (although I wasn't in that specific one, I was in enough of them to know that you'd be in good hands)

Fucking Portland...why can't I just live everywhere at the same time.

ground kontrol is awesome. I spent several handfuls of quarters and drank multiple cups of beer there. Oh and I bought a shirt.

511 Northwest Couch Street

and that's couch said like cooch. hilarity to me. I giggled every time someone gave me directions to a place and I had to use couch.

Powell's bookstore is fun too, if you like massive books stores. There comic book section is pretty good.
