THE ROSE CITY

City from Vista Drive
Great things about Portland: no sales tax,downtown trolleys,a view of four volcanoes,new lightrail service to the airport,a newspaper for dog and cat owners; a vibrant music scene; ski slopes or beaches just 90 minutes in either direction; "used books" for sale at the airport; a program that leaves free bikes around town for anyone to use.
Co-existing buildings

Old and New

Portland is proud of it's older buildings and parks. The new buildings actually compliment the old.

Easy Living

Along the Marina, at River Place, are many beautful and expensive condos. Downtown condos are also seen here.

 What a great page. I liked your walking tips on the travelogue. We are hoping to have a few nights in Portland at the end of the year.

 Ah, the great city of Portland, known to me for its enthusiasm for planted roofs. I will check out your tips with interest :-)

 Hi I took your suggestion and looked at your Oregon page. How nice there is a used bookstore at the airport!!! Oregon looks great, I have driven up the coast to Canada but that was many years ago. Kat
