The Whole Sick Crew

[Bekah]

I also visited Cody's several times in the 1970s-'80s.  :-(   Great  
loss.

And I totally agree with the assessment of Powell's.  I've been there  
only one time,  in 2004(?) and spent hours and hours just cruising  
the aisles.   It's huge, squat,  sprawling building with several  
tiers or layers (what would you call them - mini-floors?) spread out  
over an entire block and they have warehouses and other outlets  
throughout the city as well as elsewhere in the area.  The rare books  
floor in the main Portland store is awesome.  I'd really like to go  
back some time.
