Points forts
In 1903 the Alberta streetcar line spurred the growth of this then-suburban neighborhood. Over the next decade, as the population of Portland doubled, Alberta thrived and its business district would mirror those streetcar districts throughout the city. In the 1940s, as the automobile took over, redlining created a thriving multicultural neighborhood that would become known for art, jazz, great food, and a tight community. We'll explore this now hip neighborhood, its ice cream, coffee, art, history, and find out what makes it so special. One hour, 1.25 miles (2 km).

About Portland
Portland is Oregon's largest city, a green Pacific Northwest city of bridges, rose gardens, food carts, craft beer and views of Mount Hood.
Portland sits where the Willamette River meets the Columbia, with the snow-covered cone of Mount Hood visible to the east on clear days. It is called the City of Roses, and the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park, above the city, has thousands of rose bushes. Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the United States, covers the hills west of downtown, and the Japanese Garden nearby is a quiet retreat.
Top-ranked sights in Portland: Multnomah Falls, Latourell Falls, Columbia River Gorge.
