"Powell's just might be the only bookstore in the world that doubles as a tourist destination."

This claim may leave some readers feeling Stranded.

Unfortunately, this isn't legitimate. WW required these businesses to pay to be on the list for each category. A legitimate list of the best of Portland would have been open to ALL businesses, regardless of their ability to pay for the nomination or not. Not to downplay the businesses listed, but this was just one more way for WW to generate revenue.

Well that explains why the abomination, voodoo donuts, is on the list.

Very embarrassing for WW. This needs to be exposed. Feels dirty.

We didn't pay anything to be nominated or win. We were invited to purchase additional advertising and a booth at the party, which we declined, but we still won without shelling out a penny.
