PDX Haunts / Google Maps Version

A few of the spots I regularly inhabit here in the PDX, all from an overhead, Google Maps-facilitated P.O.V.

My apartment, right there in the middle. As you can tell, it's got a nice balcony area and gets tons of son. And only yards away from the grocery store. How convenient.

I'm sure you recognize this one: it's Powell's Books, of course. As you can see, it's a whole city block and 5 stories of fuckin' books. I've spent way too much money under that expansive gray roof. Better than being addicted to huffing paint thinner, I suppose.

This is where I catch the Max Train to Nike every morning. Sometimes on the way home, the streets are full of loud, stinky sports fans that wear green and romp around like pirates. I think that arena there hosts said sports, but I'm not sure. Wish it was a gladiatorial arena, where they had games like the one in The Running Man.

My dayjob is on the second floor of this building on the Nike World Campus. It's called the "Mia Hamm" building, which is Italian for "My pork." Also, it's the name of a soccer player. I do design work in there for NSW, and as you can tell, it's a super creative environment.

My favorite spot to lamp in the corner and do personal work is a small coffee-spot/chocalatier called Sweet Masterpiece in the Pearl district. Amazing Mayan Mochas, and wireless. Don't judge.

I'm sure you can already tell what this spot is... That's right, it's Someday Lounge, where I've spent many a Thursday night at my guy Dan K's weekly rapstravaganza The Fix. Holler at it. Look at how much fun it is!

Where I'll be this Friday night. Rotture for Live & Direct. I know what you're thinking.. "But Adam, by this image it doesn't look like all that much fun!" Silence! Look closer. See you there.
