[@janagirt-kutter9731]

As I scrolled through the comments I realized It always amazes me how a percentage of the population feels a need to be negative. This article is ""22 to Things to Do in Portland, OR" and as a native Oregonian, I agree with the writer. I've done about 98%, (I've missed some of the food/beverage suggestions.) Nowhere does he suggest moving to Portland or tell you how livable the city is. Portland, like any major city has it's social issues, such as the homeless and traffic, but that is not what the article is about. So enjoy his suggestions and add positive ideas of places to explore you feel he missed, like The Shanghai Tunnels and or The Victorian Mansion. An additional note, while Voodoo Donuts is not my favorite place for donuts, it is unique and features one of a kind donuts. That is worth exploring for nothing else than to check the place out and to say you've been there, i.e. worth exploring.

[@malibu405]

I agree to a point and appreciate your ❤for kindness, however, visitors should be aware and prepared for the danger and deminished experience due to the conditions our city managers have allowed. 😢 our family doesn't spend time in.many of our favorite haunts anymore. too dangerous

I highly recommend Vista house if any of you plan on going out to Multnomah falls. If you have the opportunity, I would just drive all of the old historic highway 30 and you will see a ton of beautiful waterfalls that are usually much less crowded than Multnomah falls. I live only a few miles away from old highway 30 and i take my motorcycle out a few times a week just to ride that road and it blows me away every time. Also just an hour out of portland is the Mt. Hood National forest. Portland is a disgusting city and i highly recommend spending as little time as possible there. The streets are flooded with used heroin needles...

I’ve lived in the Midwest for 25 years but grew up in Tillamook, OR, and went with my dad to Portland often as he taught at PSU. It’s funny listening to folks in the Midwest trash talking about Portland and Seattle, but both cities are beautiful and have so much to offer, if you travel with an open mind. I love Dot’s on SE Clinton, Mt. Tabor, and the Doug Fir Lounge. St. John’s is a fun quirky neighborhood that I only visited recently. Great video, thanks as always.

The negative comments are due to the amount of whining you Portlanders do about everything and everything political. Anyone opposite of far left isnt welcome and you know it. That's 100% fascism.

'Salt & Straw' had a seasonal lemon blueberry flavor earlier this summer that was mind blowing, but the Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache is a regular flavor that's fabulous. Portland has sooooooo much to offer that I could go on and on

I’ve got a couple extra ideas should you go back. USS Blueback submarine tour - as long as you can handle tight spaces. A lot more interesting than we thought it would have been. PDX Dönerländ was a great place to eat but our favorite restaurant was adjacent to Occidental Brewery called Urban German Wursthaus, next to the St. John’s bridge.

To all the Portland haters down below. I've lived here for the better part of 6 decades. My family started a ranch out here before it was a state. I have traveled all over this world and lived in many different cities. IMHO Portland is the best. My favorite city. Portland Rocks! If you don't like it, don't come here. And Portland has always been like this. Portland and Oregon in general has always been a little weird, a little socialist, and followed its own path. Mayor Bud Clark? He is most famous for flashing a statue downtown, owning a tavern, and riding his bike to work at city hall way back in the 80s. Governor Tom McCall? He's a Republican and took away all the private beaches in the state and made them public. He also increased beer and soda by 10% with the nations first refundable deposit, started an environmental non profit, passed our urban growth boundary, and threw a hippy festival so we wouldn't protest a visit by Nixon. He was a Republican I could respect, even admire. Modern Republicans would call him a socialist and a commie. But he was just a true blue Oregonian who could see the big picture and did what was best for this state.

[@beentheredonethatoriginals5673]

Nope. The I5 corridor has always been as you describe and the rest of the state is actually pretty normal. Portland is a crappy city. I worked downtown for years and had to find the best route to the courthouse to miss the vomit and feces and meth addicts. I worked in a few law firms and saw the same garbage year after year. So glad none of my family lives there anymore.

[@bnorberg988]

@@beentheredonethatoriginals5673 I worked downtown for more than 30 years. It is not as you describe. Perhaps you just worked for crappy firms. I was never once accosted or had any problems whether it was 10am on NW 23rd, 6pm playing pool at the Nighthawk, Leaving Satyricon at 2am, or 4am eating late night pancakes at the Hotcake house. I lived out near Bend and in towns as small as Riddle as well. There are just as many if not more methheads in Bend and Clackamas per capita as Portland. They are just hidden. In fact the only time I ever had a problem in the whole state was in Sisters. Where I was the victim of a hit and run by a tweaker who later killed his wife and threw her in the river. I've lived in most sections of this state at some point of time from Pendleton to the Gold Beach and from the Couve to Cave Junction. Now I admit have only visited the great basin area a few times but It seems like any other farm area. Pleasant on the surface, but scratch the surface.... and poverty, alcoholism, and meth abound. It is just easier to see when population density is higher. The history of Oregon is littered with weirdness. I already gave you a fine example of actual Oregon Republicans. Do you really think Tom McCall is not popular in Eastern Oregon? Again my family has lived here since before it was a state. And I have lived here six decades. I have studied the actual history of the state. And the state has always been a little weird and socialist. Sorry you didn't enjoy it. I hope leaving makes you feel better.

It was above a Rite Aid, where you could simply never get in and out of the building without a number of panhandlers wanting money. I even had one panhandler get mad at me for handing a different guy some money. This was DAILY. Every time you left or entered the building. I've had drunks fall on me on the MAX, 20 year olds with vomit crusted sleeping bags brush against me on the bus, and as I said previously every morning before the store owners cleaned the area around their establishments there would be vomit, the heavy smell of urine, and feces (usually from dogs but not always) on the way to the courthouse.

When I was a child in the 60s and 70s homelessness had nearly been eliminated. That was before Reagan closed the nations mental health facilities and emptied them out on to the streets. www.povertyinsights.org/2013/10/14/did-reagans-crazy-mental-health-policies-cause-todays-homelessness/ By the end of the 80's homelessness had skyrocketed. Especially the homelessness of crazy people. The solution to homelessness? Provide people with a home and mental health treatment for the mentally ill. Where can you find such a success story? Utah. www.npr.org/2015/12/10/459100751/utah-reduced-chronic-homelessness-by-91-percent-heres-how The fact is society is going to pay the price for mental illness and homelessness. We can either pay by stepping over them or pay to help them. The same goes for Nixon/Reagan/Clinton's failed war on drugs.

great notion and prost! those are the only beer places you need

Multnomah Falls is crowded and overrated. Equal distance the opposite direction and more impressive is silver creek falls. It’s a better hike and you get to see about seven different falls.

Beautiful place in Portland I love

[@Fernyg323]

Great video. I’ll be out in Portland for work but I’m definitely gonna hit some spots you recommend. Thank you!,

[@alexthegreat062]

Thank you so much for this. Im going to Portland this summer

[@burnt.norton]

unpopular opinion: portland is better than seattle

[@marcenepinkerton5031]

??? I live in Seattle. You are right. ( Okay I was born in Portland so I'm biased)

[@subashkhadka8608]

sounds like even better than san francisco

[@Azzenstudent]

Seattle is amazing but in a different way from Portland. It has a lot more money, some epic scenery (harbor, Mt Rainier), a great university, and a downtown with some terrific architectural gems. Portland is much easier to navigate, much more laid back, and probably a lot more fun. Also, there's a huge sex/kink scene in Portland. Both cities are great for cannabis.

[@realtruthseeker521]

Thanks going for several days. Can’t wait for the bookstore.

[@upperleftcoastchelseafan7718]

I'm so old I remember when Saturday Market used to be the hippest thing to do in Portland. There are still great places and great things to do but there's also too much traffic, junkies and crime now. Guess that's to be expected given it's meteoric growth and influx of people from mostly Cali. If you can afford it and are lucky enough to secure tickets try and catch a Timbers MLS match at Providence Park, built in 1926 and gone through extensive renovation it's as close to an old school English football stadium that you'll find in the US. Now if they would just ditch that field turf and install a hybrid pitch like a real and proper English stadium I could die a happy man. We used to go up to the Witch's Castle all the time as teenagers and smoke weed while keeping an eye out for narcs. Now we just sit at home and smoke weed with our neighbors who are cops, ahh the benefits of legal recreational Mary-e-wanna.

[@stephenharris5532]

Spot on! Also a Portland native and I remember when Hawthorne started to become super trendy and I was so happy since I lived in the neighborhood. Hawthorne and Saturday market were the place to go for hippy trinkets and wondering around. It's a shame everything has gotten so crowded and expensive, but it's still a super dope city.

[@dianeericson7900]

Are you old enough to remember the shallow concrete pool that we could wade in? How about the downtown Morrow's Nut House, pre Lloyd Center? Best cashews ever! Speaking of L.C. how about skating on real ice and watching the Zamboni smooth it out while waiting to be among the first on the fresh ice?

[@maureensmith4451]

First place I ever ate gelato was at the Sat Market when I was a teenager. It was mind blowing.

[@hesspet]

Damm, Portland is on the other side of the globe. I've to visit Portland before I die. It's time.

[@danmeyers708]

If you come to Portland please bring extra large garbage bags. It seems we've forgotten how to keep it clean!

[@rickcomer8497]

The thing I've noticed in Portland is a lack of public garbage cans (atleast on eastside). If you have some trash, you better be prepared to schlep it around with you until you get home.

[@gabi4186]

Wonderful video! Thank you.

[@annaprutsko7343]

You forgot to say about Oregon zoo, Cristal Spring Garden and 7 waterfalls.

[@yailensoto4034]

oaks park 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@bibleortraditions]

The one zoo where the animals are actually out and playing. Unlike L.A and San Diego zoos.

[@oliverhoffman4574]

Yailen soto there’s theme parks everywhere and oaks park is pretty average

[@oliverhoffman4574]

I don’t think our zoo is much better than any other zoo

[@emsnewssupkis6453]

All of Portland, OR is now a zoo with the animals wearing black clothing and killing/looting/burning the city to the ground.

You should check out Jenni's Sacred grounds when you're here next. They have awesome food the best coffee and the owner does a lot of amazing things for her community.

[@susanbarnettkiengsir]

Great Notion all the way!

[@pdxballoons3013]

Um.. Portland Saturday Market!? (Sundays too!) A fantastic way to experience what Portland is all about. TONS of local artist, vendors, and street performers! Every weekend from March to Christmas! Portland is a fantastic place to VISIT nowadays. But please don't move here. The housing situation has gotten pretty tough. Instead, bring your weird experiences and the spirit of Portland back home with you! :)

[@windexofficial]

aAh, I love the Saturday market! Living in Hillsboro, it's fairly accessible to me, and I love checking out the new booths

[@Armybrat4life35]

They forgot oaks park Ik it’s near Gresham but still it’s in Portland....

[@ceyrrahlmfao9288]

Madison Nelson yes it is I live in Gresham you dumbass

[@mcgoldrickarellano]

Oaks park is near Sellwood-Moreland on the Willamette. Get your areas correct. Gresham is next to Troutdale. Near the Sandy river.

[@mcgoldrickarellano]

Nugget Nationz I’m thinking you’re confusing Mt Scott community center that has a skate rink and a pool.

[@ceyrrahlmfao9288]

horacio arellano and it dosent have a pool

[@Creepermoss]

@@ceyrrahlmfao9288 Oaks park is south of Portland, Gresham is to the east. You either don't live in Portland, or you're really bad with directions. Like, REALLY bad.

Fun fact: the witches castle is often used by high school students late at night on weekends for huge parties and smoke sessions.
