One day, I received a tip that this charming Bridgeland drug store carried the only drug I need. Vinyl. It's been over a year since I first learned this little secret, and in that time, my curiosity in this audio black gold has spun out of control into a full-on addiction. I am now forced to make special stop at Luke's every single time I'm in the area. It wasn't long before I started experimenting with another """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""black gold"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" available at this Portland microcosm: Their tasty, tasty coffee. I would stop first at the counter and pick up a Stumptown americano (now carrying Four Barrel Coffee - still wicked good) to keep me caffeinated while I scoured for my next LP fix. I continued down this path for the good part of a year. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to come to the lifesaving, albeit somewhat sad realization that many an audiophile never gets to experience: You can't live off of records and coffee alone. I know what you're thinking... """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Of course not - don't be ridiculous! You need whisky too!"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" You're right! And while Luke's doesn't carry whisky, they do have this bourbon barrel aged maple syrup that is out of this world! The only time I found myself doing something other than drink it straight from the bottle was to give my espresso smooth, sweet little kick, but I digress. Sooner or later, you're gonna get hungry. Sooner or later you're gonna need to go out into that real world, and hopefully you do the rest of the world a favour by showering before you do. Luke's has got your (plaid-covered) back. Mixed in with an assortment of staples you'd find at any drug store are hand-crafted, small-batch, organic, vintage-throwback ANYTHING. Last visit, I picked up some of the finest Portlandian shaving cream (for those of you who opt for the ironic moustache instead of the beard), some organic apple cider vinegar, a St. Vincent record, and some run-of-the-mill toilet paper. Mission accomplished. Oh yah, and also drugs."""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
