No matter where you stand on PSU’s campus, you’re only a few footsteps away from some really excellent coee.

By Samuel Dunlop, PSU’s Director of International Recruitment

Just like Portland’s shocking selection of artisan or sugar coma- inducing doughnuts, Portland State’s spot in downtown has no shortage of earthy brew. Here are our favorite spots on campus to get your caffeine x. From local roasters to national chains, you’re bound to nd a roast that ts your avor preferences. Olé Latte Coffee is pure Portland: Exclusively long-haired hipster staff serving delicious, locally-roasted coffee out of a trailer under a parking lot. Since 1987, Park Avenue Cafe has been a popular spot for breakfast or brunch, grabbing a cup of Illy coffee, or to get into the zone as you cram for an exam. Coava is Portland’s ve-star coffee option. The setup is minimalist, they consistently offer quality espresso beverages that are worth the wait and the tiny cups. For pour over, drip or cold brew, Coava is for when you want to treat yourself. Caffe Umbria is one of the classiest spots to get an espresso near campus. The aesthetic: rustic and modern. The vibe: clean, classic and bright—like a Virginia Woolf novel. A great spot for a rst-date. If you want local, delicious and reliable, Water Avenue is your best bet. Be sure to stop by the location near Pioneer Square on SW 6th to buy a bag of the Blue Creek Blend. You’ll taste notes of hazelnut and chocolate in every cup. At some point, almost every single human on campus will need to indulge on the caffeine-hum of a Starbucks iced-coffee. No doubt, it’s one of the most popular, accessible and quick places to get a cup.

22 PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITY PORTLANDBALLERS By David Kobzina, PSU’s Assitant Director of Transfer Recruitment

Portland is home to some of the best teams in the country and arguably the most energetic and spirited fans in the world. In 2019, Damian Lillard led the Trail Blazers to the semifinals of the NBA playoffs, continuing their reign as a formidable opponent and three-point juggernaut. The Trail Blazers play at Moda Center, a short MAX ride from the PSU Campus. PSU students can get access to discounted tickets for games.

The United States Women’s National Soccer team won the World Cup in the summer of 2019, and they couldn’t have done it without Portland Thorns’ Adrianna Franch, Tobin Heath, Lindsey Horan and Emily Sonnett. As they continue to set attendance records, the two-time North American Soccer League Champions are one of the most exciting teams to watch. The Portland Timbers won the MLS title in 2015 and continue to give Timber Joey (the team’s mascot) work to do. When the Timbers score, Joey uses a chainsaw to cut from the victory log much to the delight of the thousands of voices in the stands. The Thorns and Timbers play at Providence Park in Goose Hollow, walking distance from campus.

The Portland State Vikings have 15 Division I sports teams and a sparkling new arena situated along the PSU Park Blocks. Our athletics program brings in students from around the world, and it’s no surprise, with teams like our women’s basketball players, who made it to the NCAA Basketball Tournament in 2019.

Portland is also home to the Winterhawks, a minor league hockey team. They play at Moda Center and next door at the Memorial Coliseum. If America’s pasttime is your pasttime, then take the MAX to the suburbs to watch the Hillsboro Hops—the minor league farm team for the Arizona Diamondbacks. You can also make your way to the Lents neighborhood and catch the Portland Pickles baseball game, while you sit on the grass and enjoy a hot dog.

2019-20 VISITORS GUIDE 25 KEEPING PORTLAND WEIRD A Portland icon’s quest to promote and support creativity By Victoria Raible, PSU’s Graduate Assistant Content Specialist A man in a Darth Vader costume riding a unicycle and playing flaming bagpipes can only mean one thing: you’re in Portland. “Keep Portland Weird” is the city’s unofficial motto for good reason. It’s a town that attracts people of all kinds. The mixture of historic and new buildings, along with its proximity to Oregon’s natural beauty, make it a hotbed of inspiration. This reputation for weirdness is what drew Brian Kidd—that unicycling, bagpipe- playing, costume-wearing man known as the “Unipiper”—to Portland.

“Portland’s weird spirit comes from its culture of freedom and acceptance,” says Kidd. “People here are more likely to express themselves in their own ways and not judge others for their expression. That creates a vibrant art scene.”

When Kidd moved here twelve years ago, he never expected to become an icon for Portland. He learned to unicycle and play bagpipes while going to college at the University of Virginia. While interning after graduation in North Carolina, Kidd started combining those two creative outlets.

A couple of Kidd’s college friends, who were from Portland, kept talking about how great it was. They told him he would fit right in. “I became sick of hearing about it! But when I decided I wanted a change of scenery, it was on my shortlist of places to check out.” Kidd moved sight unseen. He had no intention of staying long term, but the city and its people changed his mind.

Kidd started showing off his Unipiper act at Portland’s Saturday Market. He was quickly embraced

Then he because, in one image, you could see what Portland is realized he would have to make it happen himself. all about,” says Kidd. “I was just in the right place at “I’ve built a reputation and have an audience, so I the right time to become the symbol of a much want to use that visibility to do good.

Hood, there’s plenty to explore and the Portland State Outdoor Program makes it easy. They offer guided trips and affordable gear rental. You don’t have to leave the city to get on the trails—Forest Park’s Wildwood Trail is the longest urban trail in the country and walking distance from PSU’s campus.

LOWER MACLEAY DIFFICULTY LEVEL: BEGINNER DISTANCE: 2 - 4 MILES OUT-AND-BACK DISTANCE FROM PSU: 25 MIN.
