Keeping Portland Weird

Portland, Oregon is such a unique place to live filled with its fun quirks whether big and small.  No wonder we like to say, “Keep Portland Weird.”  The city of Portland holds a lot of character and there’s always something to learn and do in such an interesting city.

• Portland’s home to world’s smallest park, Mill’s End Park. Located at 56 SW Taylor St. 

• Portland has the most microbreweries than anywhere else in the world!

• Powell’s Books is the largest independently owned bookstore in the world.

• Portland was named by the flip of a coin…Boston, Oregon? That just sounds weird.

• Portland has the largest number of vegetarian and vegan options in the country and almost 80% of the restaurants are local.
