Downtown Portland Walk March 2022

[@murphy6971]

This is hands down the calmest I’ve felt in weeks because of this video. Thank you

[@jesusportland]

Waoo!!! My beautiful Portland. Thanks.

[@PDogB]

Looking more and more like how I remember this beautiful city! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@bubzsantiago7779]

its always looked like that. the videos youve seen are literally just a few blocks in old town.

[@americandirt7834]

You remember it having graffiti-covered plywood on all the windows to the Louis Vuitton store? Wow.

[@PDogB]

@@americandirt7834 Did I say anything like that in my comment or are you just guessing?

[@akolyt]

@@americandirt7834 compared to what Portland looked like a few months ago some random LV store being covered up isn't that bad

Thanks for the walk. I really felt I was walking the beautiful streets of Oregon 👌

[@adamimperial5729]

I know Portland Oregon gets a lot of shit but in all honesty it’s a really good place to start off by living by yourself independently I just moved there three months ago and it’s a perfect city to be independent and live away from your parents it’s not overwhelming it’s not too uncomfortable you can walk most places or ride a bike it’s great the rain really isn’t the worst thing in the world it’s still a good city and a good place hell it has good coffee good weed and pretty solid food

[@NicholasSeemann47]

Lol, thank you for the tip. I'm teaching myself programming atm and would like to get a job to relocate here some day

[@adamimperial5729]

@@NicholasSeemann47 it’s honestly a pretty dope place to start out in your 20s it’s not overwhelming it’s fun you can go into the wilderness and be there all day and then go get some killer food after you don’t feel pressured to meet people all the time I’m typically pretty friendly but I also like my alone time I will say it is expensive to live there but for my money I think it’s pretty worth it I also would definitely suggest getting a car

[@NicholasSeemann47]

@@adamimperial5729 That sounds awesome. Seattle and San Francisco have a lot of jobs with what I want to do, but they're both pretty expensive and I hear that tech is almost dominating the city's culture, I haven't heard of the same thing happening in Portland, plus they're just really expensive in general, even compared to Portland lol. I know you suggested getting a car, but I read that Portland is a really good city for being able to get by on public transit plus walking. Is that not the case?

[@adamimperial5729]

@@NicholasSeemann47 It depends it is good for public transit for me I’m lucky I got a job at the railroad for Amtrak so I get the ride for free tehe if you’re a bike person which I’m not really much of a bike person you could always bike ride around the city which is very accessible I think Poland has a tech culture I’m not sure Seattle obviously does San Francisco is extremely expensive I don’t know what your situation is but at least the good thing is you work in tech and I’m sure you make a good salary so you could probably stretch your budget or get a roommate it depends where you’re coming from also it might be a culture shock to you like it was for me I’m from New York very different type of way of life for me

[@NicholasSeemann47]

@@adamimperial5729 I live about a half an hour away from Pittsburgh which I've heard is a little bit like Portland. What about it is different compared to NYC?

[@miapdx503]

Looking good! Clean and quiet...I love the Portland rain.

[@kitschmygrits4836]

I moved to Phoenix az 10 yrs ago and I just want to cry watching this video. I haven't felt at home since I left. Portland was MY town. I know it like the back of my hand and I am so lucky to have been born there. It's a shame so many great places have closed down over the years but the current system we all live under does not support small business, so it's inevitable. I can't move back to the constant rain but let me tell you that constant sun sucks a bag and then some. thank you for filming this!

[@sleepyufo]

thank you, this was great!

Glad to see Portland is looking like it’s old self!!

[@ronsari7820]

tq, missed the city, was there 86-91 🙏

[@movingforward-walk-and-relax]

Very nice, especially the sound of rain in the end. :)

[@moacirsilvestre6907]

E uma cidade maravilhosa linda e gente muito bonita

[@FlexxenRandomPlaces]

It feels humid but nice 😆

[@uluwalker2345]

It's a very wonderful and awesome walking tour for sharing. Liked24. Cheers!

[@davidmihevc3990]

So what's with all the station closed signs for the MAX? Does that mean they don't stop there?

[@lescoe]

Correct. Too many passengers were being harassed outside of the Mall. It's not a safe stop.

[@Крутаябабушка-х1н]

🎉🎉😊

[@karlabritfeld7104]

Empty stores, boarded up buildings. Nice...

[@matthewwall8748]

Looks like a ghost town compared to before Antifa and BLM made it a shit hole!

[@Darren-ns7bh]

like a small European city especially with the trams very peaceful

[@akolyt]

nothing is what it seems

[@bojan80]

Thats what i Also thinking as european originally Portland looks so european to me

[@abranezhprezawdnaheia8244]

Yeah.....third world Eastern European country

[@lescoe]

Lol that Apple store got wrecked

[@slacker4206]

Shoot the same video, only in heavier rain & for an hour long.

[@akolyt]

there's rarely any heavy rain here in Portland and when there is it's never an hour long

[@bubzsantiago7779]

lol you have an umbrella ? you stand out in portland haha, nobody uses umbrellas here other than tourist and out of towners. welcome!

[@johnsanders9989]

I use an umbrella and I have been here 9 years. And all those locals who were born here are crazy for walking in the rain. I laugh every time that it pour down and some dumb local is trying to be cool by walking in the rain and getting drenched by the rain.

[@bubzsantiago7779]

@@johnsanders9989 it hardly rains here. its all a mere mist in my opinion. nevertheless, enjoy your umbrella.

[@akolyt]

he uses an umbrella so rain doesn't get on his camera

[@akolyt]

@@johnsanders9989 it's not that we're trying to be "cool" most of us (including me) just don't even think about using an umbrella, i've used an umbrella maybe twice in my life

[@kitschmygrits4836]

@@johnsanders9989 I was born there and never used one and never got drenched. It happens to be a technique we natives are gifted with. It just comes natural to us! Also, if anything, Portlanders try to be anything but cool. Being cool would just be conforming to what is expected or desired from us and that's just not in our nature even if that means being the anti cool, if you will. But good for you, using your umbrella and I mean that. It's certainly the smart thing to do!

[@fonzil5909]

Is that city only for transgenders and African Americans or any type of people welcome?

[@americandirt7834]

You must be BOTH transgender and African American (and ideally Muslim, or Yazidi, or Scientologist) to get a fair persecution pass in the Rose City.

[@fonzil5909]

@@americandirt7834 Now I know why it’s called Portland

[@PDogB]

Wow. That comment is sad.

[@fonzil5909]

@@PDogB it’s probably because the color of my skin, I thought skin color matters.

[@PDogB]

@@fonzil5909 No it doesn't, but some want to think so. Like somehow based on skin color, religion, etc we are not all human beings who qualify to be treated fairly with equal rights. Something like that.

i cant wait to come back i miss oregon , vegas is fucking boring

[@ericschwarz5392]

So sad that Portland came to this.. :(

Yeah, calm peaceful and drizzling! How sad that Portland is what it's always been.

boring and senile city

Masks outside lol

Really, a hole. But you just had to say it, to make yourself look redundant and ubiquitous, but truly...stupid. . Live and left live.
