I wonder if people in Portland realise how trying beautiful their neighbourhoods are? I bet they ruddy do. |
The Tasty n' Sons Philly Cheese |
The Voodoo Doughnut classic. |
Could be the worlds most amazing tree house |
Tis the season of the Gourd |
Rogue Beer HQ |
This little guy was running laps as punishment on our walk home |
Hola Olympic Provisions! |
The front of our sweet Airbnb Basement flat in the Boise Nieghbourhood |
One of the many strip clubs, this one is where Courtney Love became famous |
Laurelthirst - many a great conversation was overheard about wood choices when making furniture here |
I would love to show you some great shots I got on film while in Portland, especially of the incredible amount of neon signs in the city so aptly portrayed in Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen's Portlandia. I had a whoopsy with the camera and sadly lost a roll of film, so here are some shots I took with instagram.
I would highly recommend making the journey from Seattle to Portland on the Amtrak trains - there is such incredible scenery in betweena nd you wind up right in the centre of Portland, and it was only $50 for the 2 of us.
In short, when in Portland - Drink Rogue beer, sing karaoke at Alibi, get an 'old dirty bastard' at Voodoo Doughnut, buy a book at powells, embrace the beards, spend as much time as you can strolling the neighbourhoods before your heart breaks and you have to leave.
Here's one shot that survived
