[@Liutgard]

No mention of POWELL'S???!?!?! Also, the McMenamin's brewpubs are something to check out- they have a knack for rescuing old buildings and making really distinctive restaurants out of them- and more! The former county poor farm (Edgefield) is now a full complex with hotel/resort, restaurants, brewery, winery, distillery, etc etc. A derelict elementary school (Kennedy School) has become a hotel where you sleep in an old classroom, as well as community center, movie theatre, meeting rooms, several restaurants, bars, brewery, and even a soaking pool! There's a former wedding/funeral chapel (Chapel Pub) with the bar in the main nave, The Crystal Ballroom, etc etc...Similar flavor, but all different! And ignore the naysayers. Portland is 145 sq miles. 4 blocks of protesters downtown is scarcely a blip on the radar. The homeless problem is no worse that other cities of similar size, especially on the temperate West Coast. And if you come in the rainy season, bring a parka, not an umbrella. An umbrella marks you as an outsider. :-)

[@abelpepper]

Visiting Portland for the first time next week and added a ton of things from here onto my itinerary. Thank you!

[@thymeofourlives1477]

Hey, if you are in Portland during the weekend also check out the Portland Saturday Market. It's on the waterfront and is a huge market that's been around for something like 45 years. It is full of local artists in the area and is the perfect place to get gifts or souvenirs. There is also usually pretty good food! Also, skip Voodoo and go to Pips doughnuts (or do both) and don't forget to get the chai at pips. Also, check out Northwest 23rd. Its a great street to walk down and has great food.

[@abelpepper]

@@thymeofourlives1477 just arrived today and will definitely make sure to check out the market on Saturday! I’ll look into the doughnuts and the chai today or tomorrow 😍 thank you, appreciate it!

You need to add Sugar Street Bakery and Bistro on this list. Honestly the cupcakes are ridiculously Delicious and they are named after Portland streets.... Naito, Pettygrove, Alberta, etc. This place is so popular but still a lot of non locals have no idea about it!

Be sure to drive through NE Portland at night, just to take in the city's culture. An expensive car works best. Around 82nd & Milton is wonderful.

Great video, unfortunately crime in Portland is through the rough at the moment.

[@Liutgard]

I take it you're not familiar with other cities of the same size?

[@Zergcerebrates]

@@Liutgard I live in Southern California, our cities are way bigger and we too have homeless and crimes rising all over and unfortunately this is an entire west coast issue.

[@StumptownHomestead]

@@Zergcerebrates It's not just a west coast issue. It's not just a big-city issue. The crime rates soared with the pandemic. So observing it grew in Portland is basically saying "Portland is a city in the US."

[@Darthmoelissa]

Pips, Doe’s and Blue star all make significantly better doughnuts 😬 Second Cascade if you love sours. Great Notion is probably my favorite local brewery personally. People should most definitely check out Powell’s and take a walk through various neighborhoods.

[@johnqpublic7191]

@@dev0luti0n because I was born raised and live here, and as ashamed of my hometown as I am right now, I still want Portland to be the beautiful fun city it once was. I don’t hate Portland, I hate what Portland has become. I have family obligations holding me here for the time being, but have every intention of moving somewhere with more like minded people. Maybe Portland is for you, and honestly hope you’ll enjoy it here. But with more than 100 straight days of riots, decriminalized drugs, 800% increase in shootings since last year, and revolving door justice system, I don’t see what Portland has to offer a contributing member of society that can’t be found somewhere else cheaper, cleaner, and safer.
