PortlandNeighborhood.com - Perfect Portland Weekend
Weekend Guide to Portland Oregon
First of all, to know Portland is
to know that it is not a city. Portland is a culture. We may not
always be on the same page, but together we’re writing a really good
story. Ultimately, it’s a story about America, the way it used to be –
before every corner block in every city offered the same three
restaurants, before driving out of one town and into another became an
indistinguishable experience, before the illusion of choice became
mistaken for freedom.
But this book isn’t a political
manifesto. It’s a celebration. It’s an exaltation about the way in
which Portlanders have banded together to rejoice in difference. In the
process we couldn’t help but set ourselves apart. The purpose of this
book then is simply to share the ways in which the unique and special
are manifested within Portland’s distinct and inimitable neighborhoods,
their businesses, and their people.
Rather than simply list and
review establishments, however, we thought you might find yourself
better able to navigate the plethora of options available in our fine
burg of over four-score individually styled neighborhoods if we devised
a pattern of approach. In other words, we’ve attempted to make Portland
more mentally accessible, possible to wrap your mind around, by
conceiving every chapter as representing a different hypothetical
weekend, each with its own theme.
The Perfect Portland Weekend
Put that yawn away and get set to
have a blast with our weekend guide to Portland, Oregon. But be ready –
this is not your grandma’s travel guide. This just isn’t that book. No
endless listings that blur in abstraction here. Instead, the pages read
like a friend having taken you by the arm, inviting and guiding you into
and through the Portland that makes Portland tick and that Portlanders
themselves call home.
We've read every single guide book to Portland
and have found nothing that comes even close to what we have been able
to capture in this tell-all guide to your perfect Portland weekend.
We've left no stone unturned in our research and promise even a
long-term Portlander will discover something new and fascinating about
our fabulous city.
