Shop Talk – The Paper Station
by alex
I'm not a big fan of air travel (too many people in too small a space with too many bumps and mechanical noises!) but I am a big fan of the Portland airport.

At first glance, especially from a car, it's easy to mistake this window as an actual storefront. But as you look for the door (d'oh!) and walk around the side, you can't help but notice its oh-so-slim depth and the parking lot behind it.
