The PDBA reminds consumers that when they purchase goods at malls with national tenants (or on the internet) -- the dollars from those sales are not recirculated
locally, but rather sloughed out of the local economy. In addition to shopping, the Pearl District offers outstanding, cultural dining experiences, spa
services and a wide range of unique, one-of-a-kind gift certificates to suit a wide variety of tastes and budgets. The Pearl District offers retail shopping for families,
including children, as well as men, women, pets, more than 30 art galleries, and more than 60 home furnishing companies.

locations throughout the Pearl District, in downtown Portland or on the web or visit www.ExploreThePearl.com.
