Americans love malls, and Oregonians are no exception. Oregon's lack of sales tax also makes it a popular destination for out-of-state shoppers. So, without further ado, here are some of the notable malls in Oregon.

*Clackamas Town Center - Clackamas: Arguably the most prototypical mall in the entire state. Easily accessible from Portland, with several buses and the MAX Green Line running to it. Food court features eateries such as California Pizza Kitchen, The Cheesecake Factory, Panera, Taco Time, and Cinnabon, as well as a carousel and a mini Ferris wheel. Notable tenants: Macy's, JCPenny, H&M, Forever 21, and Victoria's Secret.

*Woodburn Premium Outlets - Woodburn: The largest tax free shopping outlet in the Western United States, Woodburn Premium Outlets is understandably one of Oregon's biggest shopping destinations, attracting shoppers from both Portland and Salem, as well as tourists by the bus-load from out of state.

the toucan sat on his perch at the zoo

dark round berries in a pan at his feet

he took each one in the tip of his bill

and threw his head back

and most of the berries were lost to the ground

I watched him about half an hour or so

he tilted his head at each berry that fell

picked up some more and lost most of them too

and after Muhammad Ali passed away

I thought of that bird and his pan and his perch

"Secrets of the universe? Where have I heard that before?" he said.

"It really is this time. The signs all point to it."

"Slow down," he said. "Are you feverish?"

"No, dammit! I'm leaving tonight. Are you coming or not?"

"Ok," he said. He had to make sure she stayed out of trouble.

She went to pack. He did some light packing too.
