Downtown Portland, Oregon Walking Tour (October 2023)

Walking Downtown Portland beginning at Pioneer Place Mall then to 12th and Burnside, and then towards the Waterfront to the Saturday Market.

There are have been changes in downtown since my last upload of downtown in April 2023: the Target has announced a permanently closure on the 21st, the Ritz Carlton is nearly complete and set to open on the 31st, a Shake Shack has opened up on 10th and Burnside, the food carts on 5th and Oak have been rearranged into the Midtown Beer Garden, and the Washington Center building on 5th and Washington has been boarded up.

Video was recorded on the 13th and 14th of October. It is two different days combined into one walk.

I can't get over how dead it is - all of this used to be bustling - any time day or night. good to see that Jakes and some of the old haunts are still there!

I lived here from 2014 to 2016 it was very nice place. I liked the place

Powells is the BEST bookstore in the USA. When I lived in Portland, I used to go every month. I have been living in AZ for 20 years and STILL order books online from Powells. My most favorite place on earth.

Love it thank you, especially telling us the days to give us context

[hackhack]

Seems to be nice and quiet. Probably in weekdays it’s much more crowded

[TerriYoung-nn]

Looks nice . I may have been there once I don't remember.

I always walk downtown and it tends to feel very lonely, like I'm the only person around. It's weird that this city has 4 local news stations, but you never see them.

I've never been in USA but I love Portland and Seattle. 😊

You should do a walking tour right now. Check out the neighborhoods in Portland. The foliage is breathtaking.

39:36 Cameron's Books. It says on Wikipedia that when that place shut down, the city of Portland put the remaining unsold books on the upper floor of Union Station. Sometimes I walk by Union Station and think about that. Weird.

After the 2020 pandemic and protests, there's a high office building vacancy rate and a high percentage of workers working remotely, so that's why there are very few people on the streets now.

I'm curious about the condition of Portland's orange-leaved trees this year, too.

Will you do another university of oregon one for 2024? I love you videos btw 🩷

Hope the people find a way to make this city great again soon.

[AQBPlays]
