March 14, Exploring Portland went to Title Wave Used Book Store, 216 NE Knott St. where Multnomah Library takes its old books it no longer wants in its libraries.This is a great place to hunt around to find books you want. I purchased many childrens books and a cookbook. From there we walked to Russell Street BAR-B-QUE, just off MLK on 325 NE Russell St. I had, pictured, their Virginia Pulled Pork-Tender, "shredded pork on a roll with the slaw right on there". It came with a side, which I picked as "Mess O'Greens". We loved our food. Linda Stern had Smoked Beef Brisket on a roll. Jan Johnson had a Root Beer Float for dessert, after her Bar-B-Que Salad. Don't go if you are in a hurry; the kitchen was a bit slow, but the place was very popular. People know it is the place to go!
