At the homely corner of 82nd and Tillamook sits Portland Closeout. This Asian run store, with rows of kids bikes out front, has eveything from toilet paper to pots for plants to the 1995 cassette tape of singers in other languages. I have wandered through the tight isles with wonder at how much stuff was crammed into this medium-sized building. It was fun to explore the various levels of quality and large range of product the was stacked before me. Great place for that off0beat gift or wanderlust adventure purchase that you'll have to rationalize at home.
