UNION WAY good design in Portland

UNION WAY, joining the west end of downtown Portland with the Pearl District just north, is a rough (or rustic) gallery of shops, sort of an indoor urban mall.  It is just good design, a place where you want to wander about, with rough board siding, exposed beams and skylights and with a variety of great shops like Steven Alan, Danner, a bakery, leathershop, Quinn the candy store, and more.  Find Ace Hotel and Stumptown coffee across the street on the south and Powell's across from the north entrance.
