We went to Powell's and ate dinner in a restaurant that allowed Jack in.<br /><br />My nephew works for Nike and he took us on a tour of the campus. INCREDIBLE! Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take cameras with us.<br /><br />The restrooms for the employees are like 5 start hotel restrooms.<br /><br />They have "thinking rooms" for the employees.<br /><br />Walking through the building was like walking in a museum. The grounds rival the best known gardens in the world.<br /><br />Tributes to athletes are out of this world.<br /><br />Yes, Portland is a great city. All of Oregon is great.hobopalshttp://travelswithmrnimble.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444152614012496655.post-43554365663585661742012-06-16T12:06:26.452-04:002012-06-16T12:06:26.452-04:00Wouldn't you just love to get a wrench and twi...Wouldn't you just love to get a wrench and twist that sign pole about 90 degrees!! That would sure start some conversations.<br /><br />Great tour of downtown Portland.

Downtown Portland is an easy to get around in. The Max takes you right to Old Town too.
