I just got back from visiting Portland this weekend and Wow! I had no idea so much construction was going on there. My in-laws live west of Portland in Banks and are not fans of big cities, but this this weekend, just for me, we went to downtown Portland. It was my first time there and not just driving past and it was incredible.
My father in-law hates traffic so we took the MAX in from Hillsborough. We saw alot of the sites there. But I was surprised at all the consruction. I fell in love with Portland and am seriously considering moving there. (my wife already wants to move since her family is here)
And now reading this thread about all the projects blows my mind. I usually spend all my time in the Vegas thread so I get tunnel vision thinking Las Vegas is the only city going through a high rise boom. Good job in keeping this thread updated. I wish I knew more about Portland to add some things but for now I'm content in reading and learning about this great city.
