Portland Oregon Downtown

A characteristic of Portland Oregon is that the downtown area is exceptionally clean, compared to other major cities I've been to. Included here are some scenes I shot of Pioneer Courthouse Square and the Saturday Market. Several microbreweries and the Burnside Skate Park are located around the downtown. Known as "The Rose City", Portland is the only American city that has an extinct volcano within its city limits.

@MrHOOPER70 Yeah...wayyyy too many bums, and it's only getting worse.

Burnside and Stark street are named after businessmen...not military officers...I thought that sounded fishy so I looked it up. Benjamin Stark was a merchant and politician in Oregon, and Dan Burnside was a local businessman.

@n1starr Also I don't think Burnside, Stark, and the rest of those streets were named after military officers...haha.

ha ha we have tons more than one volcano, extinct or not... Uh, we have more than any city in the continental US (only Hawaii has more) and we are smack dab on top of the Boring Lava Field, so we have not just volcanoes but vent holes all over the place. Check it out. Don't forget our other famous volcanoes - Mt Hood, Mt Tabor, Mt Scott, list goes on. Plus we're on several earthquake faults, so the city is seismically not too safe..

I just love downtown Portland, OR. That is, when nobody tries to ask you for cigarettes on the streets.

FALSE: "Known as "The Rose City", Portland is the only American city that has an extinct volcano within its city limits. "

Hawaii has several active and non-active volcanoes.

Portland is the Munich (Germany/Bavaria) of the USA. Therefore, it's a GREAT place...

You can smoke weed in public and no one cares. The police are hated here so they don't care to police the city. Bums and drug addicts come here from every else cause there are free food and money for them. The city and county taxes the normal working citizen so the transients can have housing, medical care and even free dog chips and shots for their pets as well. Transients love it here because you can not go hungry, they give you money as well and to top it off put you in a home.

I'm moving to portland Is it anything I need to look out for? I'm moving to milwauke oregon I am coming from memphis tennessee I seen the videos it is a wonderful place I love the nature and downtown.

Good video but this city is economically dead and has been since early 2009 and no one wants to say we are in a depression when we are. The REAL unemployment rate among people laid off when the depression started in late 2008 or early 2009 is at least 50% or more according to internet research. No one cares and the employment department or VR could care less. Got laid off when the call center worked for at 6th and Alder outsourced to another area and I canot get another job doing anything.
