This place is So Portland

I love Hippo Hardware. It's a huge maze of crazy junk and beautiful treasures. The lighting floor is enormous and quite a sight to see with probably thousands of chandeliers and sconces. The lighting shop can also rewire many things brought in from outside or change finishes or lengths. I recently read Chuck Palahniuk's book on Portland and was delighted that someone with a wide audience thought as much of this place as I do.
Pros: So much stuff, helpful staff, adventure
Cons: Dirt and disorganization
