Best of the City walking tour

From cast iron-fronted buildings to the grandly disastrous post-modern Portland Building, much of Portland, Oregon’s history can be told through the buildings and street layouts; most importantly, the prioritization of parks throughout the city center. How did the city’s early urban planners decide on their layouts? How do modern designers look at the past and plan for the future? Who are the people these streets are named for? What’s with all the roses? It’s not a dry history: full of back-room deals, early deaths and greed; and then there were the hippies! We’ll also discuss the modern rise of radical activists in Portland and how that is intimately connected to the city’s history going back more than a century. Two hours, two miles
