Driving Downtown - Portland Oregon USA - Season 1 Episode 16. Starting Point: Broadway https://goo.gl/maps/LwJ15JZwt2B2 . Portland is the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon and the county seat of Multnomah County. It is located in the Willamette Valley region of the Pacific Northwest, at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. The city covers 145 square miles (376 km²) and had an estimated population of 619,360 in 2014,[7][9] making it the 28th most populous city in the United States. Approximately 2,348,247 people live in the Portland metropolitan statistical area (MSA), the 24th most populous MSA in the United States. Its Combined Statistical Area (CSA) ranks 17th with a population of 3,022,178. Named after the city in Maine, Portland was settled in the 1840s near the end of the Oregon Trail. Its water access provided convenient transportation of goods, and the timber industry was a major force in the city's early economy. At the turn of the 20th century, the city had developed a reputation as one of the most dangerous port cities in the world, a hub for organized crime and racketeering. After the city's economy experienced an industrial boom during World War II, its hard-edged reputation began to dissipate. Beginning in the 1960s,[10] Portland became noted for its growing liberal political values, and the city has earned a reputation as a bastion of counterculture which has proceeded into the 21st century.[11] According to a 2009 Pew Research Center study, Portland ranks as the 8th most popular American city, based on where people want to live.[12] The city operates with a commission-based government guided by a mayor and four commissioners as well as Metro, the only directly elected metropolitan planning organization in the United States.[13] The city government is notable for its land-use planning and investment in public transportation.[14] Portland is frequently recognized as one of the most environmentally conscious cities in the world because of its high walkability, large community of bicyclists, farm-to-table dining, expansive network of public transportation options, and 10,000+ acres of public parks.[15] Its climate is marked by warm, dry summers and chilly, rainy winters. This climate is ideal for growing roses, and Portland has been called the "City of Roses" for over a century.[16][17] "Keep Portland Weird" is an unofficial slogan for the city.[18] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland,_Oregon http://www.travelportland.com/ http://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g52024-Portland_Oregon-Vacations.html

I really seem to like the vibe and feel of these North-western cities. I live in the Caribbean and Im tired of the hot weather. I need weather like this here in Portland and even further up north in WA state and even Canada.

Well done. You have captured the atmosphere/ambience of downtown Portland, which is such a great city on the banks of a lovely river. The transport system is very good. I noticed that street evangelist Ron can be seen on the corner of Pioneer Courthouse Square, at 25:53.
