Your regular reminder that Powell's Books is owned by a real estate speculator who only tolerates the bookstore.

No qualms at all about shutting down the Henry Weinhard brewery when developers came calling.

We haven't even discussed the anti-labor nonsense.

It's okay to really enjoy what is left of the Powell's experience, but it's important to understand the long game.

Some of us are old enough to remember when the bookstore was still obviously a converted car dealership.
