[holladay]

A bit of a retrospective, I guess. These were taken over the 18 months that I called Portland home. Since I recently had to move to Vancouver, WA I thought I might look back:

Wow!, nice pics, Portland is beautiful.

[OhioGuy]

Such a cool city!

[marcus]

One of, if not the, most enjoyable Portland threads ive ever seen. Amazing work!

[xGrendelx]

Portland looks AWESOME! Great post!

[Cirrus]

The script kiddie thread subject makes me want rip my eyes out, but the pictures are great.

Having finally made it to San Francisco and Chicago over the last couple of years, Portland and Seattle are now 1-2 on my domestic to-visit list.

[Urban Zombie®]

Hot stuff!

[Okstate]

Nothing to complain about here...this is a one of a kind thread. If I were a photographer & saw this i'd throw my camera away right now.

[djmalone2003]

I love how unapologetically trashy Portland can be. What a one of a kind city, certainly unique in America. Fabulous photos!

[Sekkle]

Fantastic collection! Hope you're enjoying Vancouver.

[Top Of The Park]

what a cool cool place

[harls]

Some really nice looking housing in Portland.. and it's so lush. love it.

"NOW WIDER SPACES!"

[dkealoha]

Awesome job capturing so many areas of Portland!

[LAsam]

Seems like the city has a very bohemian vibe to it... looks like a very laid back and pleasant place to call home.

[holladay]

Thanks everyone for your kind comments!

The script kiddie thread subject makes me want rip my eyes out, but the pictures are great.


Ha, yeah, I never thought about the title coming across that way. It's just the way I wrote "Portland, OR" as my location description on SSP for the whole 18 months that I lived there. For some reason it seemed to fit.

Fantastic collection! Hope you're enjoying Vancouver.

Oh, you know, Vancouver is Vancouver. It's definitely a change of pace over here, and somewhat of a different world altogether. I'm adjusting and finding things that I like, but I'd be lying if I said it was my first choice. Nevertheless, I have really enjoyed gaining a different perspective on the Portland region. That's at least partly why I moved here.

[eleventyblue]

40 Subarus, give or take one. Absolutely unheard of in the deep South.

[MarkDaMan]

Great pics as always! You are only a bus ride or a 15 minute car drive from central Portland. NO EXCUSE that you don't come over and snap some pics every now and again and post them.

Would suck if ya didn't!

[SLO]

Its a bohemian Disneyland, it is what Austin thinks it is...
Very nice pics.

[downtownpdx]

Great shots! I always love streetscapes. Some really pretty lighting in a few of them too.

[Rocket1964]

Mike, of Mike's Burgers needs to learn how to spell Chipotle.

[stepper77]

What a great tour. Nice to so many different areas of Portland. Thanks!

[MobyLL]

realm0854 -- these are really good photos. They capture the feel of Portland; I get a sense of being there in the city surrounded by green and hills and mountains. Thanks for posting them... I haven't been to Portland for over a decade, but these pics remind me of why I like it so much.

[mSeattle]

Very nice. I like that Portland still has some down home northwest-ness feel that was killed in Seattle a long time ago.

[jaxg8r1]

Very nice. I like that Portland still has some down home northwest-ness feel that was killed in Seattle a long time ago.

I love that about Portland....But I do get that vibe in some areas of Seattle too. Especially in some of the grungier areas around the U of Wa...

[bgwah]

At first I thought they meant an ice cream sundae...! :(

[MilwaukeeMark]

Fantastic thread, excellent photographs!

Chance of Rain Cafe, haha.

[destroycreate]

As of this thread, I'm totally obsessed.

[PacificNW]

:previous: Thanks for keeping this thread alive... Great pics!

[urbanlife]

Amazing collection of photos, really makes me miss my home on the West Coast. I may not of grown up in Portland, but I definitely adopted it as my hometown and I will definitely say I am full of Portland Pride because of my time living there.
