== Things To Do in Portland ==
|}
Portland is well known as a hub of American DIY youth culture. From the late 1980s through today, Portland has been a major center for movements such as [[zine]]-making, including hosting such events as the [[Portland Zine Symposium]]<ref>{{ cite web |url= http://www.pdxzines.com/info/|title= Portland Zine Symposium Official Site |accessdate= 2007-09-15 }}</ref> and home to major [[zine]] distributors such as [[Microcosm]]. The [[Do it yourself|DIY]] craft community has also seen a population explosion in Portland since the 1990s and now hosts such events as [[Crafty Wonderland]]<ref>{{ cite web |url= http://www.craftywonderland.com/|title= Crafty Wonderland Official Site |accessdate= 2007-09-15 }}</ref> and regular [[Church of Craft]]<ref>{{ cite web |url= http://www.churchofcraft.org/index4.html|title= Church of Craft Official Site |accessdate= 2007-09-15 }}</ref> meetings, and is home to such stores as [[Knittn' Kitten]],<ref>{{ cite web |url= http://knittnkitten.com/|title= Knittn Kitten Official Site |accessdate= 2007-09-15 }}</ref> [[SCRAP]],<ref>{{ cite web |url= http://www.scrapaction.org/|title= School & Community Reuse Action Project Official Site |accessdate= 2007-09-15 }}</ref> and many independently-owned stores such as Bolt, [[Yarn Garden]],<ref>{{ cite web |url= http://www.yarngarden.net/|title= Yarn Garden Official Site |accessdate= 2007-09-15 }}</ref> and the downtown [[Fiber District]]. Portland, is also home to radical [[feminist]] and [[lesbian]] activist movements as well as the home city of The Worlds Oldest Teenage Drag Queen Pageant" Rose Bud and Thorn Pageant started in 1975 and modeled after the [[Imperial Sovereign Rose Court of Oregon]],<ref>{{ cite web |url=http://www.rosecourt.org/|title=Imperial Sovereign Rose Court official site |access date+ 2008-12-08 }}</ref>, and the city is also considered a haven for [[Punk subculture|punk]], [[Hardcore punk|hardcore]], [[crust punk]] and [[anarchist]] movements and subgenres, including the self-reliant [[DIY culture]] movement that has been part of the aforementioned [[subculture]]s.


== Places To Go Near Portland ==
== Portals ==
[[Mt. Hood]], [[Mt. St. Helens]] and the [[Pacific Ocean]] are all within a two hour drive from Portland.  These are all great places to be during the few months of the year when it is not raining - basically, July 4th - October 4th.
<div style="width:1000px;">


[[Multnoma Falls]] is the biggest waterfall in the region.  You will be pleasantly surprised if you take the [[Old Highway]] along [[The Gorge]].  There are dozens of small, beautiful waterfalls.

== Where To Eat in Portland ==
<div style="float: left; width: 320px;">
Visit Restaurant Row on [[4th Street]] for a variety of international dining, and check out the [[Snow Lion]] for an unusual Tibetan experience.  [[Nick's English Hut]] is a Portland tradition, but [[Scotty's]], [[Yogi's]], and the [[Irish Lion]] also cater to the over-21 student crowd.  The west side has a variety of steak houses, but vegetarians might prefer the [[Runcible Spoon]] or [[Roots]].  For locally crafted beverages, don't miss [[Lennie's]], [[Upland Brewery]], or [[Oliver Winery]].
