There's a movie theater, a supermarket, and a lot of pizza places, but that's about it, unless I go into the downtown area, and then, that's completely different. There's Sound and Video Odessey, which is where I buy most of my CDs and tapes (used, of course). For food, there's Giana's pizza, which makes vegetarian cheese steaks.

In Boston, the local CD shop, In Your Ears, has a pretty good selection of used tapes and CDs. As far as food goes, there are too many places to mention.

I lived in Boston a while.. have you checked out Newbury Comics? There's one by Governement Center and in Harvard Square. They have a good selection of Cd's and decent prices.

I have been to the one in Harvard square, but I still prefer In Your Ear. However, neither of them can compete with Sound and Video Odessey in Philly.

Escape From New York Pizza-- better than most New York pizza, even. The only pizza that I've had that was probably better was in Brooklyn. The places I've tried in Manhattan just don't measure up. Escape From New York is a legendary pizza parlor on Portland, OR's artistic 23rd St. It features huge wall murals with a New York City theme and pizzas (whole or by the slice) with slices over a foot in length. It's popular among Portlanders and tourists from all walks of life.

Whole Foods-- organic groceries.

Portland Farmers Market-- organic produce.

Powell's Books-- a landmark institution covering a city block .

Veloshop-- a vegan bicycle shop in downtown Portland.
