You can find the Old Town Music shop in Southeast Portland. They define themselves as an independent guitar shop, but they have a wide assortment of music gear of all kinds: bass, drums, amplifiers, synthesizer and microphones, among many others. They provide repair services too, and you can bring your own equipment to trade or sell.
Shopping
There are multiple shopping districts in Portland, and given the absence of a sales tax, the city is a prime shopping destination. Northeast Alberta Street offers a variety of locally made and vintage items, while Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard is home to one of the largest independent bookstores, Powell's City of Books. For upscale and high-end shopping, head to the Pearl District. Additionally, malls and shopping centers like Pioneer Place cater to a range of budgets.
