Ah, Portland. That magical land of hipsters, bloggers, mist, and food cart owners. Portland was never really on my radar until I started reading blogs and realized that there are a lot of bloggers (J.D. Roth of Get Rich Slowly fame and Katy Wolk-Stanley of The Non-Consumer Advocate plus many, many more) that call Portland home. And then my cousin Morgan and her boyfriend Matt moved there. So why has Portland spawned many a blogger and creative type? No clue. But I can tell you what to see while you’re there. Or, um, Morgan can tell you what to see while you’re there. In we go to Morgan’s Portland Itinerary©. And yes, I really did copyright it for her.
