Another bookstore in my neighborhood: @montgomeryrarebooks, run by our good friend Ed, specializing in US Presidents and open by appointment. I was talking recently to a guy who just moved here from Florida and he was telling me all the reasons he liked Portland better. “They have bookstores in houses here,” he said, and that is so true! There will be more bookstores in houses to come. . . . #pdxlife #pdxbookstore #pdxbookstores #bookstorelove #portlandbookstore #nwpdx #nwportland #nw23rd #travelportland #downtownportland #urbansketching #urbansketchers #urbansketch #usk #pdxusk #inkandwatercolor (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR4JbqbrT0e/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve had this idea to do a series of sketches of Portland bookstores, but it’s been a very slow series—I’ve only done four over many months. Anyway, here’s another—the fabulous @broadwaybooks, a little powerhouse of a bookstore on NE Broadway, the kind of place where they will greet you by name and put a book in your hands that you didn’t even know you were looking for. They seem to be everywhere at once, hosting all kinds of events on-site and off-site, and they kept the spirit alive right through the pandemic. Cheers to Sally and everyone at Broadway Books. . . . #pdx #pdxbookstore #indiebookstore #indiebooksellers #bookstoresofinstagram #bookstorelove #indiebookstores #broadwaybooks #travelportland #visitportland #pdxlife #portlandlife (at Broadway Books) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ6cCnhLUI-/?utm_medium=tumblr

CONGRATS to @thirdeyebag, re-opening in its new location on Saturday. Wonderful to see this Black owned and operated bookstore settled into its new home here in Portland. . . . #portlandbookstore #pdxbookstore #bookstorelove #bookstorelife #indiebookstore #indiebookstores #indiebookshop #pdxlife #portlandoregon #travelportland #urbansketching #usk #pdxusk (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQMWf5jn5YZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
