What they are Saying...

"I have to admit that I'm impressed with the impact your website had on our business Friday night. ... I actually called my ad rep from Portland Monthly to figure out what was going on.  I thought maybe they'd released the restaurant guide early. Nope! It was all you."
~ Paul Wagner, Alu

"I'm putting the money I've been spending in newspapers into Portland Picks."
~ Name omitted by request

"Thanks again for including the Sofada Show/Benefit in 'Hip Happenings'! The show was sold out ... which Portland Picks definitely contributed to by promoting it."
~ Kirsten, Dot2Dot PR
