When did Pioneer Courthouse Square become Pioneer Square? I was under the impression that the proper name is the former (PCS).. I am just curious of when this change came about. I am reading Phillip Margolin's Portland based novel "The Associate" and he refers to the square as "Pioneer Square", also. No big deal.

Although referred to as Pioneer Square in the video, according to Bureau of Parks and Recs which manages the park, it is named Pioneer Courthouse Square.
Anyone know if you can still get your name on a brick?
I think this is the "official" website: http://www.pioneercourthousesquare.org/
Yes, the name is Pioneer Courthouse Square, and you can still get a brick with your name on it, according to the home page! There's also a "brick finder" for people who have already bought bricks.
Not to get off-subject, but you got me looking at that website for like an hour or so last night!-- it's really interesting and hilarious if you're from this area.
There's a clip of an early '80s TV news story about the plans to redevelop the 'Paramount' theater and adjacent block for the current Performing Arts Center -- talking about the challenges associated with the South Park Blocks' high crime at the time.
