Stumptown

Celebrate Portland, Oregon, and Exquisite JournalingAt least seven other U.S. municipalities have claimed the title "Stumptown", but the name seems to have stuck with Portland, Oregon.

As the Pacific Northwestern forest was rapidly cleared to make way for the city's growth in the mid-19th century, tree stumps were pretty much left in place. In fact, there were so many, it is told that people took to jumping from one stump to another to avoid muddy unpaved roads. And, now Stumptown is also a beautiful journal notebook.
