Useful, Pertinent, Accurate

I live in Portland and like many people don't get out as often as I should. I typically spend my time in and around the city. Wild in the City allows me to take advantage of what the Rose City offers, whether it tame or wild. There are some great ideas for day trips and a ton of interesting facts that keep me reading, even if I don't have the time to experience them all. On the stuff that I've done in the book it's all accurate. There's a ton of great information in this book and anyone who lives in Portland, or is interested in what Portland has to offer, should read this book. Do yourself one better. Buy it. You'll be glad you did once you're looking for something to do on a weekend when you didn't plan on something.
