Ah, you're in my heck of the woods now! I do live downtown, and I love being near all the hustle and bustle. I walk out my door and in mere minutes I can grab coffee, or a sandwich, or hop on a streetcar, or go see a movie, or take a stroll along the river and over some cool bridge. I love it! Anyway, I've really been enjoying your videos. Cheers ✌

[@hectorslifeadventures]

That's true! I never thought about the convenience of having everything walking distance! 👍🏼 I'll be eating out way too much if I lived in downtown because of all the options around me 😂 thank you so much for watching! I truly appreciate it!

OR GET ATTACKED BUT A WILD METH HEAD LOL IVE LIVED THERE FOR A COUPLE YEARS PORTLAND SUCKS!!

[@allanjones2393]

Excellent video. Portland is looking a lot cleaner & safer than it did 3 years ago, when it was getting a lot of national attention for all the crime and homeless.

[@hectorslifeadventures]

Thank you so much! Yeah some areas are looking a lot better for sure! Thank you so much for watching! Always appreciate you!

[@ClassyGirl-zl3wx]

Portland downtown has changed a lot but I still find it fun and vibrant. It’s really different for me to be able to get around by walking and using the max. The homeless/druggie situation is pretty bad but you just have to be careful and watch where you step, and don’t be going around downtown late at night. Thanks for the visit downtown!

[@hectorslifeadventures]

Yeah Portland has definitely changed a lot but there are still some cool things to do and see. Yes you have to be careful while in Portland and yes I never walk around at night time! Thank you so much for watching!

3rd generation Portlander here, my dad went Benson high school in the ‘50’s. He said the metal shop students made all those original fountains you find all over ptld.

[@hectorslifeadventures]

Really? Wow that is awesome! Thank you for letting me know and for watching! I appreciate it!

[@hectorslifeadventures]

In this vlog we head down to Downtown Portland, Oregon for a walking adventure! Hope you guys enjoy the vlog! I appreciate you guys watching!

[@comeconcon569]

Those water or drinking fountains you see in downtown Portland are called " Benson Bubblers" if I'm not mistaken. Simon Benson donated money to the City of Portland in order to have them installed around the city. the house you showed in your video is where Simon Benson lived.

[@hectorslifeadventures]

Oh wow! That's really interesting! I was wondering the history behind those fountains and that house. Thank you so much for watching and for the info! Appreciate it!

[@ashleymk039]

Thank you for the vlog. You inspire me to start recording and posting again. You make it look easy like you are talking to a friend. I want to respond to it all. Haha. But the city does turn the fountain’s on during the summer. I’m new to Oregon but came here and lived downtown for a month during the summer and it is crazy how much more alive Portland is when the sun is out. Drivers here I’m still getting used to. Again though thanks for sharing I’ll always support you by watching.

[@ashleymk039]

Also I can not wait till the farmers market are back. Best part of Oregon for me!

[@hectorslifeadventures]

Thank you so much! Glad to hear that my vlogs are an inspiration! I encourage to get out there and record again and post! It could be hard work but it's worth it if you love doing it! And yes when the sun shines, everyone comes out to take advantage of it! I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel!

[@hectorslifeadventures]

I believe the Portland Farmers Market go on every Saturday morning if I'm not mistaken

[@ClassyGirl-zl3wx]

I'm from Richmond Va and I want to relocate north of Richmond this video makes me want to visit Portland it has the vibe of the kind of city i want to live in not to fast and not to slow just right i dont want the hustle and bustle of New York but i dont want the slow country pace of Atlanta and Charlotte Portland seems like the perfect city for me how's the cost of living there ?

[@hectorslifeadventures]

Yeah Portland is a lot slower than New York for sure. It has its own unique culture. The cost of living in Portland has been going up in the recent years getting kind of expensive. A one bedroom apartment can run you like 1,600-1,800 a month. But I guess prices are rising everywhere. Thank you so much for watching!

[@jzilla2413]

Nice video, what part in California are you from? . My girlfriend and I are planning on moving to Hillsboro in the next year or two

[@hectorslifeadventures]

Thank you so much! I grew up in the LA Area! Nice! I s=wish you guys the best if you guys move up here! Thanks a lot for watching!

[@SergioAguilarCastillo]

[@hectorslifeadventures]

Thanks a lot brother! Wow that's amazing! Congratulations on getting sponsored brother! 👍🏼 I've never attended the Cinco de Mayo celebration but I will try to make it this year sounds fun! Thanks a lot for letting me know about it and appreciate you watching!

[@SergioAguilarCastillo]
