A Children's Place bookstore in Portland, OR is the only independently owned children's bookstore in Portland--and is fantastic! The owner and her staff are welcoming, well-read, and wonderful, and its recent expansion has added much more to the mix. See the store at http://www.achildrensplacebookstore.com/

I, too, must have missed the beginning of this thread.
The beginning of the the thread was my post below, asking for favorite independent bookstores. Thank you so much to everyone who has written me... you've given me the names of many fantastic bookstores as well as great general bookstore resources.
Since there were a lot of requests for the list, I'll compile it and post it to CCBC-Net before the next topic starts. My list (in progress- not including the wonderful new suggestions yet) is in the links section of my blog at http://wizardswireless.blogspot.com/
Thank you!

What is your favorite independent bookstore?
I'm particularly looking for children's bookstores or bookstores that
have great children's departments. I'm only looking for bookstores
that are currently in business. So many wonderful stores have closed,
so my list keeps getting smaller each year... and I'm looking to expand
it again.
The location doesn't matter... it can be anywhere in the world (but
it would be very helpful if you can let me know the city it's in).
I use Book Sense a lot and reference books, but nothing beats
personal recommendations.
You can e-mail me off-list.
Thank you!!
Please excuse cross-postings. I posted this question to the PUBYAC
and child_lit listservs, and got such fabulous responses that I wanted
to ask the CCBC_Net list too... because I know there are a lot of
bookstore owners and employees on this list. I was waiting until the
end of the month to be able to post it here.
