IKEA OPENS!!!


So today is the big day for Ikea to finally open in Portland. Of course we will probably not be heading out to the store for a while until the madness calms down. They showed some people that started to line up on Monday morning for todays opening. They had tents and blow up mattresses and portable TVs. I guess they were giving away some chairs and other prizes to the first 100 or so people in the store. It's so nuts that they are warning people to stay away if they are not going to the store because the airport and the highway near by will be a mess. It's close to home which will be nice since we will not have to drive to Seattle to shop. I can't imagine how many people from Washington will drive down and shop since Oregon doesn't have a sales tax.

I still think it's interesting how people in Oregon hate big stores but Ikea had no push back at all. And the place is 280,000 sq ft. I suppose its just specific stores they like to hassle.
