{"product_id":"9780897329385","title":"Peaceful Places: Portland: 100+ Tranquil Sites in and Around the Rose City","description":"\u003cp\u003eEverybody knows about Portland's food scene, its outdoor recreation, its bike lanes, beer pubs, and coffee shops. Whether you call it Stumptown or Bridgetown  or even PDX  Portland has been mocked as the city where young people go to retire. But seemingly every weekend there's a festival, organized bike ride, political march, or something else clamoring for participation. In short, Portland is a happening town. Seeking out the places or times when the crowds will be elsewhere, Paul Gerald give travelers the essence of what each place is about  what makes it peaceful or inviting. But he does not stint on also giving readers all the detailed info they need to get there at the crowd-free time. The theme that carries throughout the book is a simple one: Portland is a great city, but it's still a city, and sometimes folks just need a break.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Menasha Ridge Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033850659056,"sku":"9780897329385","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780897329385_p0.jpg?v=1763872015","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780897329385","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
