That’s it for now – thanks for viewing.

[sync]

awesome pics!

now excuse me while i go look for "potato".

[Sekkle]

^ :haha: Those signs were all over the place, and all in color with that photo. They must have spent a few hundred on printing... and a $5G reward!

[JackStraw]

great thread. This looks like a beauty of a neighborhood.

[Top Of The Park]

way cool!

[PHX31]

In some of the pictures it looks like the main streets of a small older mountain town... in some of the pictures it looks like a big urban city.

Great threads and photos, there is some awesome building stock in Portland (and a lot of moss)!

I liked the picture of the dog leashed to the pig.

[daniel_t]

Great work once again. Thanks for sharing these. Wish I was there.

[flar]

This area looks great, nice houses and shopping districts. Thanks for these tours.

[mSeattle]

Some of the buildings are just awesome and I haven't seen the styles in Seattle. Way to go Rose City!

[pdxman]

Here is part 2 of my thank-you! :) Great photos

[sabotai]

I love that distinct Portland vibe, despite the weather.

[holladay]

hahaha... moss

[Kroney]

Great stuff.... although you left out the Laurelwood Brewpub which I know is somewhere in that neighborhood.

If you ever collect enough photos, you should consider doing a Portland Brewery photo thread. I think there's enough breweries in Portland to fill up its own thread. I'd do one for Phoenix, but it would be pretty brief.

[OhioGuy]

Wow, I think this is the best looking neighborhood you've posted so far. I LOVED everything I saw in these two threads. It looks like a really awesome neighborhood! :tup:

[Sekkle]

^ It is definitely one of the best urban 'hoods in town. I guess I should have posted this "tour" earlier in the series...

thanks for the comments, everyone.

Shouldn't you be out enjoying the beautiful weather in Portland today? ;)

[Sekkle]

^ Just got back from the park w/ my son. It is the best weather we've had in months!

[fangorangutang]

Ah, I can't believe I haven't set foot in NW Portland for the last two terms. The weather is fantastic today, you should take some pics!

[downtownpdx]

Nice coverage of both the business district and the residential areas.

Just read an interesting article about the of the local neighborhood association, formed in the late 1960s to turn the tide against what was considered urban 'renewal' back then -- destroying houses for parking lots, widening streets while narrowing sidewalks were signs of 'progress.' The founder of this group remembers city officials' reasoning: the streets were being used 85% of the time, the sidewalks 15%, so naturally the streets should be made wider ... These days anyone with this ideology would be laughed out of the room, thankfully.

[denveraztec]

Man, you give the best tours!

[MarkDaMan]

So, so beautiful! Thanks!

[dktshb]

Wow, I definitely would enjoy living there. Thanks for the excellent photo tour of the Northwest hoods. Oh, and I hope the owners of Potato get her back.

[puerco]

I'm very late looking at your photos but I want to tell you how much I'm enjoying them. When I moved out of my folks Irvington house at the age of 18 I headed straight to NW. I loved the dense urban character of the neighborhood. It's such a beautiful mix of apartments, houses, businesses and residents.
Thanks again for the great photos. I think I'll visit Sellwood next.:tup:

[ChrisLA]

For the life of me I can't understand why a friend of mine who was orginally from NYC had not desire to live in Portland when offerened to chance to move with her job. Now I could understand had she still lived in Los Angeles, but she was in Fresno and her position was elimated, and a job offer with the same company in Portland.

Perhaps had she seen these beautiful photos this would have changed her mind. :shrug: Also this makes me want to check this city out. I'm actually trying to figure out where to go for a vacation this year thats closer to home, so who knows.

[zaphod]

I wonder if they found Potato?

[bigd]

LOL, I looked up potato's myspace page on the flyer:

He has 456 friends:

[SuburbanNation]

nice, i'll be drinking beer at the white eagle in 4 weeks.

[Cbautz]

nice shots - looks like an interesting wet day. Great details and streetscapes

[ShadowMaster]

Good continuous tour of Portland's neighborhood once again. Thanks! :tup:

[Wheelingman04]

I am so impressed. What a great city.

[Evergrey]

amazing pics, dude

[mSeattle]

This area is worth a summer time visit.

[Swinefeld]

Thanks for posting these pics. I really liked that section of Portland, very casual and urban without feeling overcrowded. Great architecture too.
