When we lived in Portland, there were probably three different ways we could drive home after spending time downtown. One of those way, going over Burnside, takes you riiiiiiight by Escape From NY Pizza. Stop for a slice. You'll be glad you did, and regret it if you don't.

Theresa's Market, at 1170 S. Hemlock in Cannon Beach, has been a steady constant in my life, my whole life. Down the way from the beach house, I bought my first beer here, countless snacks, last minute pick ups for whatever meal was being made that day, and some for my most favorite caramels that sit at the register.
