I lived within walking distance of Powell's for over a decade and it was my favorite place to spend free time (shot out to Annie Bloom's Books in Multnomah Village, as well). I make a concerted effort to live near bookstores because I think they are some of the most wholesome and comforting places on the planet. That and libraries.
