Portlandia - The Farmers Market

A recent West Coast business trip afforded me the privilege of a quick weekend getaway to Portland to see friends and discover whether or not the city is truly "Brooklyn lite," or if Brooklyn is actually "Portland heavy."

More on that soon.

Today's post is simply focused on snapshots of one of the city's most impressive features.

And, then there was this...

Yeah. No surprise here. The city has a cage-free, compost-or-die rep for a reason.
