Yesterday, Portland Button Works launched in a tiny storefront on North Killingsworth. The store specializes in custom-made buttons, magnets, and bottle openers—you can design your own, or choose from any of the designs displayed in picture frames on the store’s walls. (Individual and bulk pricing available—details are on the website.) Three button-making machines (button presses?) are on hand, so customers can make their own buttons, or order ’em. The store also sells a decent selection of zines and indie comics.
Portland Button Works, 1332 N Killingsworth, open daily 10 am-8 pm

Also, something something hipsters Portlandia etc etc.
I just wanted to say that this headline becomes way awesomer if you’re like me, and you frequently use “button” as slang for anus.
Also, I think this means you can buy frozen goat meat and whimsical buttons on the same block now.
@5 ….frequently?
That Colin, he’s as cute as a button!
@7, Exponentially more than “anus,” that’s for sure.
Thank you Colin for helping legitimize and clarify my latest porn parody, The Curious Case of Benjamin’s Button.
Yeah, this is one step away from artisinal light bulbs.
