A Brief Walking Tour of Portland, OR

I love PDX.
The Pearl is nearly completely built out.
Bike culture is everywhere.
There are wind turbines atop buildings – and giant crabs, too.
There is functional sculpture made of reclaimed track rail.
There are giant billboards of dogs.
There are vintage signs and new signs made to look vintage.
There are architecturally significant buildings that aren’t so significant that they overwhelm.
There are, of course, other cities with great things like this and more.
But I wasn’t in them this past weekend.
I was in Portland.
