It’s funny that you mention the dearth of riverside dining in Portland. Sadly, you speak the truth, young man. I was just thinking that this weekend when a friend of mine dragged me to this place in Vancouver called Joe’s Crab Shack.

We went because she is working on a book about kid-friendly places in the Portland area and it’s a good family spot. But the best thing, aside from the Dungeness crab, which was surprisingly good, was sitting out on their deck right on the Columbia.

It’s a pretty spectacular view, I’ve got to say. You have the bridge to the right and the sailboats floating by. The buildings on the Oregon side are actually pretty depressing by comparison. I’m not a build for building sake kind of girl, but where are the developers when you need them?

Have fun,

Emily
