  • What to See in Portland Update2009
    What to see in Portland, OR - by Marco Behrmann 07/02/2004 1/3 WHAT TO SEE IN PORTLAND , OR _________________________________________ Listed below you will find a couple of sights and my personal favourites to do in Portland. Since Portland was my town of exchange I do not know as many things about the other cities like Eugene, Corvallis, Ashland or La Grande. However, it would be just great if somebody could add tips about their places similar to the ones here, too! Please feel free to forward them to me (marcobehrmann[at]web.de ). I do not want you to believe that just because I stayed in Portland, and have many tips here for Portland, that a year at one of the other Oregon cities is not the same exciting. The tips listed here, however, are interesting for all Baden-Wuerttemberg students in Oregon, because many things you can already see and experience during your orientation weeks. (BTW: This is almost everything I did (among other things, of course) within my 2 ½ weeks of re-visiting in June 2004; but it took me a year of living in the city in 2001/02 to figure out which were the hot tips ☺) Here are my personal Must-Sees Oregon History Center in SW Park blocks right south of PSU (This museum features very interesting and well researched exhibitions about the development of Portland as a city as well as about the whole Pacific Northwest as it was discovered from the sea and the Columbia River; good place to check out during your orientation weeks; you get a student reduction with ISIC or other student ID card) Council Crest Park (considered the highest spot in Portland; nice views to Mt Hood, Mt Adams, Mt St Helens and even Mt Rainier on some days as well as to Beaverton; take Bus 51 [Vista]; the Bus driver often feels himself as an informal Portland guide; tell him that you are visiting and he even might stop for you at nice viewpoints to take pictures.

    130 TUGboat, Volume 35 (2014), No. 2 TUG 2014 in Portland David S. Latchman This year's TUG conference took place in the city of Portland, the home of the TEX Users Group. The city straddles the Willamette River near its confluence with the Columbia River, physically dividing the city into east and west Portland. The downtown area, where the Mark Spencer Hotel is located and where the conference was held, is in the west. Commonly known as the \City of Roses", Portland features many famous rose gardens, most prominently the International Rose Test Garden. There is certainly a lot to do, from the micro-breweries, restaurants Figure 2: An animatronic Dilophosaurus and food trucks found all over the city. If hands-on science demonstrations is something you might be interested in, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) is worth a visit.1 You can also visit the USS Blueback, a diesel{electric fast attack submarine moored in the river by the museum. Figure 3: The USS Blueback 1.1 The USS Blueback (SS-581) In 1994, the museum purchased the USS Blueback. This submarine appeared in the first season of the 1970s TV show, \Hawaii Five-O". She also appeared Figure 1: View from the SW Hawthorne Bridge in the 1990 film, \The Hunt for Red October", where her crew was paid $50US to cut their hair and put on Soviet Navy uniforms. 1 OMSI The USS Blueback is a Barbel-class submarine.
