Underground Portland Tour / Chocolate Decadence Tour

Underground Portland Tour

The dark and sordid side of Portland Not all of the illicit, naughty, bawdy, corrupt and shady activities happened below street level, but all were underground and hidden. On this walk you’ll be exposed to the socially underground and the subterranean underground. You’ll be surrounded by stunning architecture as we reveal true stories about the buildings and the secrets they hold. A treat for lovers of all things sinister — crime, scandal and controversial characters — this tour winds through the Old Town and Chinatown, exposing the city’s sordid side. It’s a no-holds-barred excursion into the worst Portland has to offer. Starts outside of Old Town Pizza at 226 NW Davis (between NW 2nd and 3rd Ave.) Have Questions? Call our office 503-774-4522

Peacock Lane – The holiday spirit comes alive in Portland

PEACOCK LANE: If you are looking for a great place to view the excitement and energy of the Christmas and holiday cheer, check out Peacock Lane. Full of holiday lights covering homes, trees and front lawns  and many home-made decorations that drape the street, Peacock lane is perfect for the kids, grandparents and everyone in-between. The neighborhood tradition kicks off with a pedestrian-only event 6-11 p.m. Regular hours are 6-11 p.m. Dec. 16-31 with lights staying on until midnight Dec. 24 and 31. On certain days I’ve driven the street to view this Portland attraction.

Peacock Lane (SE 40th)  is between Stark and Belmont and located in the Hawthorne District.

I had the enjoyment of walking down the street on one of Portland’s snow days, which just added to the spirit and look of everything. Cold ears, hot chocolate animated reindeer’s and flashing lights created a fun and lasting memory for me.
Bring the family and I will see you there.

Portland Farmers Market – Organic! Local! Fresh!

The Portland Farmers Market is the group name given to a variety of markets located throughout the Portland Metropolitan Area. The original Saturday Market, located on the Portland State University Campus is consistently rated as one of the number one farmer’s markets in the country and that dedication to quality can be seen at any of the market locations.

Two different markets spring to life every Thursday. The Ecotrust Market is located in the Pearl District and boast a distinctive trendy urban flair that is most certainly a byproduct of its posh surroundings. Housed inside the Ecotrust Building, is open from 3:30 pm until 7:30 pm June through September. In stark contrast, the Eastbank Market is much more family oriented. Located in Southeast Portland on SE 20th at Salmon between SE Belmont & SE Hawthorne in the Buckman Neighborhood, this market is a meeting place for the community where the locals are as interested in hearing the local gossip as buying organic lettuce. Eastbank is open May through September from 3:30 pm until 7:30 pm. There is also the farmers Market at the Peoples Co-Op at 3029 SE 21st, the Montavilla farmers market on SE Stark that promotes and supports local farms, organic producers and artisans in a way that strengthens the community.

The Saturday Market, held on the South Park Blocks of PSU is a jumble of every edible you could possibly want from chocolate to wine and of course fresh produce. The market is open year round and is mostly open from 8:30 am until 2:00 pm. The King Market is open on Sundays in King Neighborhood to give those in North or Northeast Portland a chance to find quality produce closer to home. As the newest market, it is still developing its own identity but it is being bolstered by the local community It is open from May through September every Sunday from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm. The Downtown Market open Wednesdays April through October has more of an urban feel. Located at Salmon and Main in Downtown Portland it is a staple of downtown and always full of business people grabbing a healthy lunch or doing some shopping between meetings.

The Portland Farmer’s Market is always changing and growing as well as hosting special programs and events head to portlandfarmersmarket.org to see what’s happening. The headquarters of the PFM are located at 240 N Broadway in Northeast Portland in the Elliot Neighborhood.
