Historical background
Go to train! Brief and clear. Since its construction (and the terminal was built for three years, from 1893 till 1896), passengers have been entering and exiting it almost continuously. Neither reconstruction, nor the transition of the building from owner to another stoped the operation of the portal to the "City of Roses". Union Station (and in the past Grand Central Station, no more, no less) is a 150-foot tower built in the traditions of Romanesque architecture. Apart from the huge two-story waiting room there was a smoking room, a barber shop, toilet rooms, an immigration processing room, a dining room, a lunchroom, a baggage room, a mail office, a telegraph office, a ticket office, a news room, and a baggage checking room on the ground floor. Today it is a passenger terminal serving three Amtrak lines connecting Portland with Vancouver, Los Angeles and Chicago. -

Walter Powell opened Powell’s City of Books store in 1971. He was the first to apply revolutionary approaches in customer service. The store was opened 365 days a year and staffed by knowledgeable and dedicated book lovers. The founder also made an innovative decision to comingle new, used, hardcover and paperback, cheap and expensive publications of the same bookshelves. This innovation was very successful and Powell’s City of Books has grown into the largest independent bookstore of used and new books in the world. It can be easy to get lost in the City of Books: nine rooms, three floors and 3,500 sections. In fact, the building area is comparable to The White House full of more than 1,000,000 book volumes. Approximately 6,000 people walk in every day. Half of them buy something, others just hang around and drink coffee. About 80,000 book lovers browse the City’s shelves every day online. - 12 Intersection of SW Salmon St. and SW 18th Ave.

Historical background
The oldest of the operating bridges in the United States with a vertical lift was built in 1910 on the place of the burned wooden one. Originally painted black, it became yellow ochre in 1964, and the city repainted it in the familiar green in 1989. Over 35,000 cars, 800 buses (and about 20,000 passengers inside), and 10,000 cyclists cross the bridge every day. It is lifted 200 times per month, letting ships pass. The bridge towers rise above the base by 164 feet, and the total length of the bridge is almost 460 yards. - 21 1331 SW Broadway St.

Historical background
And here's the beer! Meet Henry Weinhard Brewery Complex, aka Cellar Building and Brewhouse, aka Henry Weinhard's City Brewery. Built in 1908 in the spirit of the architecture of medieval Tuscany, the complex initially consisted of two buildings: The Brewhouse itself and the Malt and Hop Building. The buildings fitted in so well with the picture of the city that the owners of businesses around it began to reshape their buildings with the help of architects, likening them to the Weinhard Brewery Complex. From 1908 until August 27, 1999 beer was poured here by the river. It was transported all over the West Coast, to the Philippines and even to China. At the time of Prohibition, this huge brewery did not become confused and switched to "near beer" with 0.5% alcohol, soda and syrups. From 2000 to 2002, the complex, which now consists of five industrial blocks, was repaired and rebuilt in some places. Preserving its historical appearance, it was filled with offices, restaurants, shops and a new life. And yes, you can always have a delicious beer here. - 34 223 SW Harvey Milk St.

Historical background
On March 8, 1928 — as is usual in March — it was not warm outside. It was cold. That did not bother the three thousand-strong crowd of cinema fans. The line was waiting patiently for hours to get to the opening of the cinema seating 3,036. It was built in 1927 in the architectural tradition of the French Renaissance by Chicago architects. The building miraculously survived in the 1970's, when the stream of those who wanted to watch the cinema was very thin, the earnings came down and it was very much wanted to be demolished, but the process was stopped in time thanks to a historic landmark designation in 1972. However, many of the items inside, including the organ, were sold at an auction. Portland Theater, Portland Paramount or, as it is called by the locals now, Schnitz, was renamed Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in 1984, when the Schnitzer family donated $1 million to complete the reconstruction. The theater has hosted concerts by so well-known musicians as Frank Sinatra, Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Marley, and Madonna. Today it is the home of the Oregon Philharmonic, a meeting place for music lovers. - 42 Corner of SW Washington St. and SW 11th Ave. near parking garage

Historical background
Poet’s Beach — one the newest places to enjoy the city — was opened in 2017. Before that there was the river, the bridge, a bit of shade, but no entrance to the water. Thanks to an agreement with the city authorities, the area was cleaned up, the sand was brought and voilà — now we have a nice bathing spot in the middle of the town. Someone may think that it might be still unsafe to swim within the city boundaries, but no worries. The "Big Pipe" project, launched in 2011, rescued the river from water pollution. Now the water is clean and save and there are lifeguards watching for your back. See you in summer! - 51 Intersection of SE Ash St. and SE 13th Ave.

Historical background
The sidewalks of Portland are peppered with metal rings. They are the remnants of the early 1900's when horses provided the primary mode of transportation. In 1905 there were only 218 cars registered in the entire state of Oregon. In 1907 Portland City Council passed an ordinance requiring that new curbs in front of houses have "ring bolts" installed every 25 feet so that delivery vehicles could be securely tied down to protect pedestrians and other wagons using the street. By the late 1920's, the automobile had almost completely replaced the horse and wagon and the tethering rings became obsolete. Moreover some locals complained about missteps because of them. So most of the rings were removed from curbs and sidewalks for safety purposes by the late 1970's. In 2005 Portland resident Scott Wayne Indiana tied his first plastic toy horse to a ring located in the Pearl District. It was his attempt to draw attention to the rings and to celebrate Portland's history. His personal art project soon found its fans and other Portland residents began adding their own tiny horses to the herd. You can find Instagram photos of hundreds of "parked" toy horses, other animals and couple of dinosaurs using #PortlandHorseProject hashtag. "Keep Portland Weird" is the city’s moto and it really is, isn’t it? -

Historical background
Orient Lodge is an industrial design building constructed in 1908, designed by the little-known Portland architect Francis J. Berndt. It is remarkable that its exterior is almost identical to Voysey House by Charles Voysey that was built 6 years earlier in London. Initially the building was used by the I.O.O.F (Independent Order of Odd Fellows — a non-political and non-sectarian international fraternal order of the Odd Fellowship). In the 1960's it was acquired by Portland Police Athletic Association (PPAA) — its members used it for gatherings and also organized their own bar on the upper floor. The PPAA sold building in 2013 and now it is a contributing resource in the East Portland Grand Avenue Historic District. New owners remodeled the whole building. Special Historic Resource Review was made to ensure new exterior elements are compatible with the building and district to keep architectural integrity. New Loyal Legion pub located inside building proudly serves 99 local Oregon beers. - 59 Willamette River Greenway Trail (west Willamette riverfront between Broadway Bridge and Steel Bridge)

Do not look to the right, do not look to the left. Look up! The funicular connects the South Waterfront district with the main building of OHSU (Oregon Health & Science University), located on a hill. It takes three minutes of a dizzying flight on the height of 492 feet to run 0.6 mile, that otherwise would have to be painfully overcome on foot. It is one of two passenger cable cars in the United States, the second one is in New York. So we ride on ours. For those who fear heights, stay calm! The cabins are closed, it does not shake when windy or rainy, and the views are absolutely stunning. -

Historical background
Mill Ends park was founded in 1948 by the Oregon Journal columnist Dick Hagan. The park was named after his column "Mill Ends" (leftover irregular pieces of wood at lumber mills). The founder claimed that he captured the leprechaun here, which meant that he had earned a wish and Dick wished to have a park. This park is known to be the only leprechaun colony west of Ireland. In different years the park had a swimming pool, a ferris wheel and a statue of a flying saucer. In 2006 the whole park was moved 80 feet from its original location because of road construction, in the end of work he was returned back. In 2011 a protester was arrested in the park during "Occupy Portland" demonstrations. In 2013 the tree was stolen from park, but soon it was returned and placed near the replacement tree. Unfortunately Dick Hagan forgot to specify park size for his wish to leprechaun. In 1971 Mill Ends was officially recognized to be the smallest park in the World by Guinness Book of Records. -

Historical background
Cobbletale is a piece of landscape artwork made of 4,000 old cobblestones, located in the PSU West Hall courtyard. During preparations for West Hall construction those stones were unearthed from their old place along old streetcar route on Southwest 11th street. Portland streetcar was extremely popular in the beginning of 20th century, before closure on 1958 automobile bum. Ironically Cobbletale installation was created in 1992 — 10 years before modern Portland streetcar was reborn. Jerry Mayer hand-cleaned over 6,000 cobblestones with a hammer and a scrub brush to make perfect match. The rest of 2,000 unused cobblestones were returned to the city's storage. Several stones have sandblast-engraved names of places that allude whole path of the basalt journey from inside Mt. St. Helens to its cooling and eventual quarry site near the Columbia River — and finally, to the streets of Portland. - 69 1300 SE Morrison St.

Historical background
The Bots are art objects created by the local artist Gary Hirsch. The idea for the Bots came from a sketch Gary published in 2000. The caption inspired to "go through your entire day visualizing that you have a personal giant robot that protects, defends, and gives you outrageous compliments". A lot of readers got excited about this idea, and Gary started painting Bots on the back of dominos so anyone could take his own Bot wherever the protégé goes. Artist created more than 50,000 of Bots figures leaving them on the streets for random stranger to pick, donating them to children's hospitals, painting big ones in graffitis. Viewers are asked to interact with Bots by taking a selfie and sharing it online with #botpdx and #botjoy hashtags. The Bots creator hopes these photos will show a snapshot of the developing community. Hirsch says, "The purpose behind this project is to really help connect community — to have people think about some questions that are really simple but they still may not answer often in their own day-to-day lives". -

Historical background
Go to train! Brief and clear. Since its construction (and the terminal was built for three years, from 1893 till 1896), passengers have been entering and exiting it almost continuously. Neither reconstruction, nor the transition of the building from owner to another stoped the operation of the portal to the "City of Roses". Union Station (and in the past Grand Central Station, no more, no less) is a 150-foot tower built in the traditions of Romanesque architecture. Apart from the huge two-story waiting room there was a smoking room, a barber shop, toilet rooms, an immigration processing room, a dining room, a lunchroom, a baggage room, a mail office, a telegraph office, a ticket office, a news room, and a baggage checking room on the ground floor. Today it is a passenger terminal serving three Amtrak lines connecting Portland with Vancouver, Los Angeles and Chicago. - 79 900 SE 35th Ave.

Historical background
The oldest of the existing Catholic churches in the city should have been different. In the original architect's plan (and built by Otto Kleeman, a resident of Portland), the building should be made of bricks. But for unknown reason, the contract for construction was won by mason James Barrett and the first corner stone — a basalt one from Clackamas County — was laid on March 17, 1889. Made in the spirit of the Italian Renaissance, topped with a dome, the church originally united Catholics from Ireland and Croatia, who worked at sawmills and at the docks of Portland. Today, St Patrick's Catholic Church hosts the Spanish-speaking Catholic choir Cantores in Ecclesia. Latin American parishioners brought spirit of renewal and revived the strict Catholic spirit of the church. - 89 1803 SW Park Ave.
