Statue of Ramona Quimby, one of several inspired by Beverly Cleary characters in Grant Park in Portland, Oregon. Photo from a trip in 2013.

TBH, though, Atlas Obscura got better photos than I did

Authentic Voodoo Doughnuts Line

On my trip to Portland last month, we decided we had to make one stop at Voodoo Doughnuts. It was suggested that we check out the secondary location out in the suburbs to avoid the crowds at the downtown location.

We got the authentic experience anyway.

Bonus: The twenty-somethings in line behind us were singing Les Mis.
