Shopping
It's more at PSU/Portland State University than Shemanski Park. Groundwork Organics is where I get my veggies. Fressen for bavarian croissants (made with a pretzel dough). Winters Farm for berries. Go early for a great selection and to beat the crowds, the market opens at 8:30a in the spring and summer, 9a in the more "offseason"
