About this title

Synopsis

Our first-ever Newcomer's Handbook for Portland, this thirteenth title in the series approaches Portland with a sensibility appropriate to the city--with humor and a bit of delight in the quirkiness that exemplifies the Rose City. The guidebook features in-depth Portland neighborhood and suburban community profiles as well as chapters on all aspects of local life.

About the Author

Bryan Geon moved to Portland in 1993 as a fresh-faced college grad. Since then, he has lived in four of the city's five sections and in three different Oregon counties (although not simultaneously). He moved away several times to experience life in states that begin with the letter M (Michigan, Minnesota, and Maryland, along with college years in Massachusetts), but he has always returned inexorably to the City of Roses, like a swallow coming back to Capistrano (with the significant difference that the author is not a bird). Although he grew up in California, he married a native Oregonian. This act made him eligible for state citizenship. When not practicing law or writing, he enjoys traipsing around the Northwest and spending time with his two sons, both proud native Portlanders.
