Portland, OR Overview

Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and Cascade Mountain Range, Portland is known as "The City of Roses," due to it's numerous and magnificent rose gardens. The nick-name also reflects the "green" values of the city. Portland is one of the most environmentally conscious cities in the nation. The beauty of the gardens mixes with the efficiency of the new railway, vibrant downtown, tax-free shopping, Mt. Hood recreational area, the pacific coast, and world attention grabbing art scene to create a truly unique and growing city. Also, remember that one cannot pump their own gas in the state of Oregon. An attendant must do it - no joke! So, you can enjoy being waited upon in this small way while serving.
