Questions for those who know Portland :) [View all]

I visit every few years; I'd visit more frequently if the economy improved and I could afford to leave home.

Most of my trips, though, have been work related.

My son is coming to visit this summer. I've been trying to get him to consider Oregon for years, but he's a city person, and not interested in my rural and too-red location. He's agreed to check out Portland.

So...I've got 3 days to convince him that Portland is the greatest city on earth. What should we see?

His interests: sporting events, music, brewpubs, other live entertainment, great food

Suggestions?
