Neil Thompson, aka Vic Starman, co-owner of Park Avenue Fine Wines in Portland, joins us to talk about how downtown is recovering from the events of the past year, and how tourism is going to be the linchpin at the heart of a new-look Portland.  Neil, having landed in Portland just before the turn of the century, shares what he loved about it then and how things have changed.  Neil also talks about some of his Beaverton food faves, and what his guilty pleasures are when it comes to chain restaurants.   We also talk about his southern routes and how that corresponds to values in Oregon.   Find Neil at parkavenuewines.com and also @vicstarman
