"Reports of Portland’s death have been greatly exaggerated, at least as
far as the crowd lined up in front of Portland’s first Shake Shack
location Monday morning was concerned.
About 50 people arrived early to witness the ribbon cutting at the hotly anticipated Shake Shack location on West Burnside, across the street from Powell’s City of Books.
Jacob Schoen and his two-year-old daughter Lucy were among those waiting
in the sleek new outdoor eating area, formerly a parking lot, under green balloon garlands. The large space features a selection of tables, open to
the sidewalk and streets, and a metal ping-pong table."

Powell's City of Books covers a whole city block. It has been a popular business for a long time. My wife and I get to Powell's
frequently. It is sort of the anchor store for that neighborhood. Some
of Portland's oldest and biggest homeless shelters are just a few blocks
down the street. At least one of those shelters is older than me.
