Portland Overview | An informative introduction to Portland, Oregon

Portland is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. It is a city that I have visited often throughout my life and although it has it's issues, I've generally enjoyed my trips there. In this video I briefly cover Portland's history, population, skyline as well as a few things that make the city unique. Thanks for watching: Portland Overview | An informative introduction to Portland, Oregon.

I always enjoy your overviews! As someone who’s visited Portland often enough, it’s fun seeing this overview!

The food scene in PDX really is unmatched. The new "Midtown Beer Garden" which replaced an older food cart pod in Old Town has also been a huge success & I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Downtown 🙂

Portland keeps getting better and better!

I was born and raised in Vancouver, WA. I've been living in Vancouver my whole life. I've been to Portland, Oregon a lot.

Enjoyed every your video! I'd like to see next Cheyenne, Wyoming. I reckon it is one of the most overlooked states but one of the most beautiful and "mind refreshing". It would've been nice to get your opinion on it

Portland was worth visiting as a tourist from the UK. I visited over 20 years ago now (where has the time gone!) And there was plenty to see. It's one of the few plaves I'd like to visit again as it looks better now. Just need to know of the large 2nd hand book shop is still there, wish I coulf remember the name.

Can't believe you left out the extensive tram system the city enjoys!! Boggles the mind!

The amount one complains about Portland and the distance they live from downtown is proportionate.

I think a good mention in relation would have been that the original The Old Spaghetti Factory is located in Portland. It’s a fairly important restaurant in the city.

I like how people say Portland has been bad for the last four years. It’s always been like that, and it’ll always be like that. It just got popular with covid.

You're missing the really fine looking one year old Ritz-Carlton tower in your video. Plays with daylight like the US Bancorp Tower. Fills in a gap in the skyline as well.

Portland has some serious issues, but IS beginning to show signs of improvement.

Always love your videos! You do tremendous work. I think you’d get a lot interest and views if you also did longer format videos on cities. I always find myself sad when your videos end up

Portland is a remarkable city. Sad to see the direction it's going

Milwaukee has a way taller skyline than Portland and Nashville the couture just was built and also there is another 650 feet sky scrapper being built where the Marcus center parking garage is located

When I was there, they called it the pink tower of power.

[rumham]

It has some good spots, but it looks run down now and kind of smells weird. Really hoping this city becomes great again soon. 🙏

[Bobbysworld]

With keeping the “weird theme” you should do Austin next since the slogan there is “Keep Austin weird”

20 years ago I went to Portland for a week with my new bride. We considered living there because I loved it, but life happened. I went back last year. My son had to walk around human feces in the sidewalk several times and the homelessness and drugs were massively out of control. It was gross and very dangerous. There is no way I could consider living there any more. It's a shame, because it was beautiful.

Nobody with any kind of common sense goes into downtown Portland after dark.
