Book excerpt: "The Official Unofficial Guide to the City's Uniqueness"2013 EDITIONHave you ever ridden your bike totally nude through the city streets with a thousand other naked people? Or ate dinner at a restaurant in complete darkness? Or went to a bookstore that handed out maps so you wouldn't get lost in the building? If you answered no to these questions then you have not truly experienced the uniqueness that is Portland, Oregon.Open-Ended Destinations is proud to bring you an alternative look at Portland, the big city with the small town atmosphere that takes pride in being, well, weird. The team we assembled highlights the top twenty-five unique/weird/odd places in the Portland area and then lists an additional forty-six places, events, and things that didn't quite make the cut but were indeed all worthy of being a part of Portland's Finest Cornucopia of Weirdness."Keep Portland Weird" is an official motto of this great Pacific Northwestern city, but it is not just a slogan to promote absurdity throughout the streets. Instead, its intended purpose is to encourage keeping things local by going to locally owned businesses to help keep them thriving, thus maintaining the uniqueness of Portland. Listed in this book are a variety of local establishments to visit to help uphold this motto.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title It has been called one of the nation's most livable regions, ranked among the best managed cities in America, hailed as a top spot to work, and favored as a great place to do business, enjoy the arts, pursue outdoor recreation, and make one's home. Indeed, years of cooperative urban planning between developers and those interested in ecology and habitability have transformed Portland from a provincial western city into an exemplary American metropolis. Its thriving downtown, its strong neighborhoods, and its pioneering efforts at local management have brought a steady procession of journalists, scholars, and civic leaders to investigate the "Portland style" that values dialogue and consensus, treats politics as a civic duty, and assumes that it is possible to work toward public good. Probing behind the press clippings, acclaimed urban historian Carl Abbott examines the character of contemporary Portland—its people, politics, and public life—and the region's history and geography in order to discover how Portland has achieved its reputation as one of the most progressive and livable cities in the United States and to determine whether typical pressures of urban growth are pushing Portland back toward the national norm. In Greater Portland, Abbott argues that the city cannot be understood without reference to its place. Its rivers, hills, and broader regional setting have shaped the economy and the cityscape. Portlanders are Oregonians, Northwesteners, Cascadians; they value their city as much for where it is as for what it is, and this powerful sense of place nurtures a distinctive civic culture. Tracing the ways in which Portlanders have talked and thought about their city, Abbott reveals the tensions between their diverse visions of the future and plans for development. Most citizens of Portland desire a balance between continuity and change, one that supports urban progress but actively monitors its effects on the region's expansive green space and on the community's culture. This strong civic participation in city planning and politics is what gives greater Portland its unique character, a positive setting for class integration, neighborhood revitalization, and civic values. The result, Abbott confirms, is a region whose unique initiatives remain a model of American urban planning.

Excerpt: ... to take advantage of such schools as existed at that day, but later, when eleven years of age, he attended school in Selkirk, walking four miles--a peat in one hand and a penny in the other, to pay for five days' instruction in reading, writing and arithmetic. His father died in 1849, and as wages were very low in Scotland, he left that country in April, 1852, and made his way to Newcastle, England, where remuneration for labor was much better. After two years' work on a railroad, in coal mines and in brickwork, Thomas Mann, in company with Michael Stephensen, boarded the American sailing ship Constitution, under command of Captain Gray, at Liverpool, on the 22d day of June, 1854, and arrived at New York on the 6th of August following. After five years spent in the state of New York, Canada and the western states, working in Buffalo, Toronto, Brentford and London, Canada, Chicago, Illinois, Valparaiso, Indiana, and other western cities, he found himself, in June, 1859, aboard the steamship Star of the West in New York harbor bound for Aspinwall. He crossed the isthmus by railroad, viewed the ancient city of Panama under armed escort and then boarded the steamship Golden Age bound for San Francisco, where he arrived on the 17th of July. On the 20th of the month he left San Francisco on the steamer Forward for Victoria, on Vancouver Island. When on this steamer he saw for the first time the Oregon coast mountains. The steamship Forward anchored in Neah Bay, Washington, where he had the first glimpse of the natives, took a ride in their canoe, and first set foot on the soil of this great northwestern coast. He arrived in the infant city of Victoria on the 27th of July and spent five years there in contracting and building. The spring of...
