Portland's Art District - Part One

Portland’s Art District was my favourite stop in the city. We first drove past on our way to The Kennedy School and knew we had to go back.

The street is ten blocks of street art, adorable shops and incredible restaurants and bars. We didn’t explore much of the food scene but did try to find as much art as possible. This was not difficult.

The buildings were covered with sensational artwork. Even the graffiti was stunning – bright, bold and beautiful. One alley was redesigned as someone’s thesis, trying to make every inch of the city appealing.

Downtown Portland is interesting but not what you imagine when you think of the city. Alberta Street is a must see when you travel to Portland, and it is even walkable from downtown.

Tomorrow I will post the rest of the photos from our time on this delightful street.
