These photos were taken in October 2014.
I've stayed in Portland about a dozen times. I love the urban landscape. It's particularly interesting in the Pearl District, where old warehouses mix with modern residential buildings. The Pearl District has changed since it was rezoned from industrial to mixed use in the mid-1980s. There are restaurants, shops & parks. Tanner Springs Park is wonderful. Powell's City of Books is a huge bookstore at the downtown edge of the district on W Burnside Street. The Pearl District lies between downtown & the Alphabet District. It's easy to walk between these areas. The Portland Streetcar runs between them. I don't always go downtown. But I do always visit the Pearl District.
