The second largest copper repoussé statue in the US after lady liberty!
This statue is not only the namesake of the TV program Portlandia, but is also featured in the show's intro.
Amazing to see in person. Interesting history behind the statue. Be sure to get your photo opp with her when visiting the city's.
I love this park. The Beverly Cleary statues are cool.
Another beautiful sunset. And mud puddles for the kids
Did you know? The Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden in Grant Park (4 blocks from the real Klickitat St) immortalizes Cleary’s beloved characters, based in part on kids she knew growing up in NE Portland Read more.
The dance is literally a cheap tent outside. Dark, sketchy and messy. Rude security. Only thing good going for them IMO is the life size Elvis statue in the bar area.
Try the fried pickle chips - oh my lord, they are good!
Rusty is the man!
David, the statue, shows his genitals here.
If you haven't eaten the cheesy fries, you're seriously missing out!! Great people and great service.
Worth walking uphill drunk from downtown & waiting for a table at 3AM. Wouldn't think of going anyplace else. The entire place is a shrine to why you moved here in the first place.
Beautiful park. It is a great place to workout and feel like your getting away from the city.
The 280 steps on the park's northeast side make up the longest public staircase in the city. Time your ascent from the base to the drinking fountain at the top!
See Mt Hood from a bench on the east side of the running track.
My favorite place here is the big open area that you can go and sit at. It's surrounded by roses and it's so relaxing
Opened in 1917, the garden houses over 7,000 rose plants of approx. 550 varieties. It's the oldest continuously operating public rose test garden & exemplifies Portland's nickname 'The City of Roses'.
Good for walking around after going to voodoo donuts
Great mid-level zoo. Very natural feel. Great variety of animals. Make a visit when I'm Portland.
All the silly animals! Oh wait that's us oops
The Zoo was founded in 1888 & is Oregon's largest paid attraction. In 1962 Packy, the first elephant born in the Western Hemisphere in 44 years, was born. He is the tallest Asian elephant in the US.
I truly appreciate fine arts so i'm really happy i had the chance to visit this place. Wish i had more time though. Incredible and fascinating arts they have. My favorite is Vision of Fiammetta, 1878
This is the 7th oldest museum in the US, and the oldest in the Pacific Northwest. Free every 4th Friday of every month, 5-8 pm.
Did you know? This is the oldest museum in the Pacific Northwest and the seventh oldest in the United States. The collection includes Native American, Asian, European and American art.
Bought comics - good experience, friendly + helpful staff are great!
Julian & Josh are some of the friendliest, most helpful & eager to please purveyors of fine comicalia I've had the pleasure to buy from.
Official Geek #Olympathon 2011 Event stop! Show up at any TFAW location to participate in the Great Bagging and Boxing Race! How fast can you build a short box and bag/board comics?
Great views of the fireworks on July 4th. Awesome trails also.
so much food for #mosquitos!
Check out the awesome view of Mt. Hood from the bench on the east side of the track, or gaze out over the cityscape from the west side benches.
Shelly's Vegan Wrap is one of the best tasting, reasonably priced, and healthiest airport food options I've found. Get it at the Oregonian News stand by gate E3 across from the Laurelwood.
Free wifi in the airport. Sweet!
PDX has two security gates. If it's busy at one, the other is usually dead. There's a connecting hallway around back so you can still get to your gate.
Nice old school rooms. Wood trim, comfortable bed selections, and great service.
Check out the Kurt Vonnegut autograph in the Library, very cool.
Crappy wifi
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
