Why does everyone here know a random bookshop in portland?
This feels like fake grass.
Not exactly random. It's THE bookstore in Portland.

It's HUGE and it's a tourist attraction of sorts. When friends visit they always ask if we can go to Powell's. If you search for things to do in Portland or even grab some tourist pamphlets, it's typically listed.
I put it on my to do list when I went to Portland a while back. Spent several hours there. Had to fly home with books. It would be dangerous if I lived in Portland.
Have you been there? It's huge. A book lover could spend hours there.
Days.
Tourist attraction! My family went there when I was a teenager, it was nice! I remember it smelled nice.
