What are transportation options and challenges in Portland, Oregon?

Portland, Oregon, is known for being “weird.” One would think that most people from the city are weird and put themselves out there, but in reality, most people from Portland exaggerate their weirdness. There are many unique places to eat (Voodoo Donuts, Salt and Straw, and food trucks galore). One of my favorite spots to eat is Portland City Grill. It is located in one of the tallest buildings in Portland can gives customers amazing views, food, and music.

Portland, Oregon, has twelve bridges across the Willamette River that divides the east side from the west side and downtown. The Tilikum bridge is a suspension cable bridge that is dedicated to pedestrians and public transportation. The cables change color based on the speed, temperature, and depth of the River.

Portland is a unique city. With a plethora of quaint coffee shops, hipster ice cream locations, and hole-in-the-wall restaurants, a visitor to Portland would never run out of things to do. I would advise a newcomer to Portland to visit Salt and Straw: a popular ice cream destination with creative flavor combinations (e.g., honey lavender, olive oil, and strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper). Using the MAX public transit system, they’d be able to peruse the shops of downtown Portland with ease.
