It's a long-running conversation about media, journalism, technology, cities, culture, design, books, music, movies, the future and the past.

You did a good job of humoring me, regardless. Part of me knows this is a terrible idea, but surely somewhere in the world there's a well-executed version of the Inn of the Prancing Pony, where you can show up in a cloak and boots and sing about the man in the moon.

Steinbeck, Narnia, and the Lord of the Rings all in a post about hotel accommodations and traveling by train. So many reasons to read Snarkmarket. Well, let me see here.

I realize it's all relative. Although I should say, b/c I’m so used to booking in NYC, the Ace Hotel Portland rate seemed pretty criminally low already. I realize it’s all relative.

They have the best burger going. The glueh kriek is perfect at this time of year, but so are the hot toddies at Buelahland. Next time you swing up to stumptown, you'll have to stay at a McMenamin's hotel. Much more affordable than the Ace, but just as cool. Oh man, did you go to Clyde Common?
