Portland, Oregon’s largest city, sits on the Columbia and Willamette rivers, in the shadow of snow-capped Mount Hood. It’s known for its parks, bridges and bicycle paths, as well as for its eco-friendliness and its microbreweries and coffeehouses. Iconic Washington Park encompasses sites from the formal Japanese Garden to Oregon Zoo and its railway. The city hosts thriving art, theater and music scenes.
Downtown Portland is the heart of the city. To the immediate south of Downtown is the campus of Portland State University and South Waterfront, an urban revitalization area at the southern end of the streetcar line with newly built glass residential towers. Just to the north of Downtown is Old Town, which is where Portland was first settled and which has some historic buildings and is a nightlife center, but also contains a fair amount of social services for homeless and mentally ill. The neighborhood also holds the remnants of Chinatown.
Just to the northwest of Downtown is the Pearl District, a very hip and trendy neighborhood on the streetcar line which was not long ago derelict warehouses and empty industrial space. To the north of the Pearl, at the northern end of the streetcar line is the Northwest District, also known as Nob Hill and also on the trendy side and with a variety of retail shops, bars, and restaurants along with plenty of lovely Victorians and tree-lined streets. West of this is the West Hills, where the well-to-do of Portland have traditionally lived.
Hawthorne Blvd, which runs east-west across the river from Downtown. SE Division, parallel to and a mile south of Hawthorne Blvd. Located along Sandy Blvd northeast of downtown, Hollywood is a commercial district for the nearby neighborhoods and home to the Hollywood Theater. To the north of downtown between MLK Blvd and 30th Avenue, Alberta Street has much the same feel as Hawthorne Blvd; a counter-culture/bohemian community that's becoming popular with yuppies.

Homeless in America - Portland, Oregon - YouTube
The problem of poverty and homelessness is global, effecting people equally in what has been the have countries as much as third world countries.
This is not an indictment of America, but of the lack of political will to do something about this unacceptable situation. Both republicans and democrats can take the blame, the republicans cry for tax breaks for the rich, the 1 % and take a hard line when it comes to 'entitlements' for ordinary folk but insist that corporations and industries such as big oil need help with government grants and subsidies, while Obama sends money to less than trustworthy governments around the world - Pakistan and Afghanistan to name two.
No country can claim greatness if it doesn't put their own citizens first, charity starts at home..

Exploration in and around Portland leads to Powell's Books, live music, Iseli Nursery, hiking at Angel's Rest in the Columbia River Gorge, Laurelhurst Park, Pier Park for disc golf, and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.

Exploring Forest Park (Portland, Oregon)
Originally in search of a picnic spot, we stumbled upon a beautiful hike. After 5 miles of frolicking in nature, the hike came to an end and we realized that we had no idea where we were.
But don't worry, we ended up getting home fine and making some food.
Thanks for watching :)
