My goal with this walk was to hit as many close in Portland neighborhoods as I could in one trip. I started in Multnomah Village in the West Hills and made it as far as the Hawthorne District in South East. On the way I hit Hillsdale, Sellwood, Woodstock, and Clinton. In between each there were many smaller up and coming districts. Next time I plan on starting earlier in the day so I can hit Belmont, Alberta, Mississippi and the Pearl. It is amazing the number of neighborhoods that are currently thriving in Portland.

My Twitter Feed for the Trip (freddyk):
Heading out on a walk through some groovy Portland hoods. With any luck I might find some coffee.

Water tower near my home. Its stealthy green blends with grass. I hear if the grass turns blue so does the tower. Photo

The streets are marked with these symbols. I think they are signs of a future alien strip mall but I can't be sure Photo

At the bank getting fun tickets. Photo

Multnomah Village Coffee is the center of the community. The elders gather, play dominos, and talk bread prices. Photo

Fryer Tuck Chicken will deep fry anything. Approach onion rings with caution. First one is great 2nd puts u down. Photo

Someday the lucky ones will all live in domes like these. They say it is a soccer complex but I know better. Photo

Hillsdale Mcmenamins. The first of what became a Portland infestation forcing locals to live on beer alone. Photo

Salvador Mollys Great Ball of Fire. Hell Hot. Will be a great source of alternative fuel if we can manage the waste. Photo

After 5 miles I reached the Burlinggame hood. Once a thriving district with a Starbucks. Now just a cornfield. Photo

After 8 miles Sellwood. Once a hub for wood products. After the advent of plastics now they sell sushi. Photo

Just passed Reed. It's a retreat for drug users who suffer from being to smart.

At the Pub At The End Of The Universe the universe ends but the sidewalk does not. Photo

A street party is going down in the Clinton district. Photo

12.3 miles to the Hawthorne Bagdad. Found a lamp that turned into a 14 bus and I am out of here.
