Portland is peaceful and safe.
Just this morning at my gym, an older woman told me about being downtown for a concert and later walking several blocks to the parking garage for her car around 10:00 P.M.
There are many wonderful things to do downtown – the art museum, the historical society, the riverfront, and fantastic restaurants. Our downtown is beautiful with tree-lined streets, art installations, beautiful buildings and parks. As a grandmother, I take public transportation, I walk around downtown, visit restaurants, bakeries and shops.
I love and appreciate our downtown and bristle at untrue “news” reports that chaos and violence are running rampant.
Besides a peaceful city, the troops that arrive will enjoy a beautiful city, fantastic food and friendly people.
Sounds like a vacation for them.
The rest of us, the people of Portland will stay calm and carry on!
