There Was This Kind Of Wackiness That Was Really Embraced And Put On A Pedestal. It Was Before The Millennium. We Were Envisioning A Future That Was Mostly Idealistic. I Think That Came Crashing Down A Little Bit In 9/11, Or A Lot. There Is Something About Portland That Does Seem To Still Exist In This Total Idealistic World And Total Idealistic Mind Frame, And I Think That's What Dream Of The '90s Is Talking About.

The Fact That People Go To Portland To Visit A Tiny Feminist Bookstore-no Matter What The Impetus Is For Them Getting There-the Fact That They Go In There And Look Around And Shop For Books Or Stationery Or Whatever, Is A Major Source Of Pride For Me.
