Mission on Burnside

Lately I had a chance to just take my time and walk around random parts of Portland and document interesting things I see around the city. This is what I started with this blog when I first started and I'll try to keep posting about Portland as best as I can. This series of pictures was taken on my walk around the Burnside area on the East side of the river.  The red building above isn't actually tilting, it's just a photo technique.


One of the coolest landmark in Portland is the Doug Fir which includes the eating area, the concert venue and the Jupiter motel. The Doug Fir compound is one of the go-to hangout areas for the modern hippies.


Burnside is really earning the reputation for having some of the coolest collection of local shops around Portland such as vintage/used clothing stores, home goods, music shops, etc...

Some of my favorite places around Burnside are:
- Doug Fir Lounge - Very cool music venue place. A lot of my favorite artist plays here.
- Rock n' Rose Vintage Clothing - Want to dress like me? Shop here.
- The Farm Cafe - On my "To Try List". I heard their trout is good.
- Hippo Hardware - I always want to buy something here for the house. Always find good items.
- Fouteen30 Contemporary - Cool art gallery featuring local artist.
- Nationale - This shop has many cool stuff.
- Le Pigeon - Looks expensive but the reviews makes me want to try it.
- Rontoms - Another cool hangout place. Their patio is awesome.




I love scooters


Hop scotch anyone?
