A Unique Journey Throughout The City Of Portland Oregon
What is uniquely Portland Oregon?
The 24-hr Church of Elvis, for sure! Voodoo Doughnut, home of the famous
Bacon Maple Bar, is uniquely
Portland Oregon. We even have a
television show all about our quirky selves called Portlandia!
Without a doubt, the city of
Portland is one of the most eclectic places there is and I am
completely infatuated with it! You can
literally go from pristine and proper to weird and wonderful within
blocks of one another.
Stroll down the lit
streets of Portland’s Pearl District and enjoy a latte at one of
the many restaurants providing outside seating. Or grab it to go
and lounge around in Jamison Square, smack-dab in the middle of the
Pearl, with a lovely fountain to watch and enjoy.
Hit the bricks of Pioneer
Courthouse Square during the
summer months and enjoy an outside
movie at Flicks on the Bricks or the odorific (yes, I made that
up) Portland Saturday Market.
Take a ride on our beautiful
Portland
Oregon MAX light rail
around the city streets and beyond...or hop the Portland
Streetcar and let it carry you from North to South, along 10th and
11th avenues.
No matter where you wander in
Portland, Oregon, you’re going to find exciting, interesting and fun
things to do and see... not to mention, a great place to live!
