  • I love Portland!!! Cant wait to go back soon!

  • @InterstateKyle: Portland is awesome! Can't wait to go back up there next summer, and re-film everything with my new camcorder. Should make for a much improved video.

  • This is sweet! Love the way you narrate it too!

  • @ZoeToots: I had no idea you posted a comment on this video until now. My bad. Thanks for watching, and glad you enjoyed!

  • I think you forgot abou I-205.

  • @wooga78: Hey there, it's been awhile. I didn't include I-205 in this video, because it bypasses Downtown Portland to the east by about 5 miles, so it would not have made sense to include it in this Downtown Freeway tour video. I will eventually be uploading a separate I-205 video on its own; maybe in the 2nd half of the year. Hope this clears things up. Cheers to you, and have a great rest of the weekend. :-)

  • cool

  • great video

  • Great video. Love the use of the sign icons that Oregon doesn't - but should - use. You should film the old freeway along Harbor Drive/Naito Parkway and on Interstate Avenue from the Rose Quarter up to Kaiser Interstate, much of it still exists as it did from the 1940s/1950s when it was functionally a "freeway", at least by that era's standards. Same with the stretch of 99E from I-5 south to Columbia Blvd.

  • Awesome video...I'm actually pretty embarrassed at the extremely outdated nature of our infrastructure here in Oregon. ODOT has so much money to pour into light rail and commuter trains but doesn't seem to care about the ridiculous traffic jams Oregonians have to put up with every day. I like Portland but I hate going through there because I always end up stuck in a jam. North I-5 from the Rose Quarter until you cross the bridge is a nightmare!
