That creep sprawls boisterously up N Williams down Alberta and through Belmont and Hawthorne. I guess NYT will found out once they get past Grand Ave.

      <![CDATA[Well, that'll teach me to comment without following the link.<br>
<br>
Now, I understand yr snark, Mirk.<br>
<br>
That first page was indeed chuckle inducing. Most of the utopian "Portland experience" that's been trumpeted in the NYT is centered on the east side of the river, and I'm sure assloads of tourists have made the long, long trek over the bridges to check it out. Though, it's the NYT---the article was probably aimed at the moneyed yuppies who think the downtown core is the epicenter of the city and have heard some rumblings about how Portland is "just like Williamsburg."

      <![CDATA[They made it a whopping 13 blocks east of the river, really?  In 1997 I remember living in a house near 20th and Belmont and thinking maybe that was too far away from downtown. <br>
<br>
Maybe they were thinking New Deal was in Felony Flats (.com) and were scared of going further.
