It's strange they'd include Bethesda as a stand-alone city. It would be akin to singling out Lake Oswego as a city separate from Portland. Should this be about metro areas?

Garden City.

Enjoy.

not enough upscale cafes and modern architecture IMO.

Socio-economically-speaking, that's true...they are.

Before the economic hell fell upon the country Portland was in the middle of a boom in terms of buildings.

Park Ave. West - 515-ft
John Ross tower - 325-ft
3720 tower - 325-ft
Mirabella tower - 325-ft
Meriwether tower 1 - 21 stories
Meriwether tower 2 - 24 stories
First and Main - 251-ft
The Alexan - 250-ft
ZGF tower- 250-ft
Ladd Tower - 225-ft
OHSU So Waterfront - 16 stories
937 tower - 175-ft
the Encore - 175-ft
the Cyan - 175-ft
Westerly - 150-ft
Waterfront Pearl - 100-ft
Waterfront Pearl 2 - 100-ft

The Pearl has too many to list. ALL of these were built within the last 2-3 years. There's plenty of modern architecture going up.

I think they have done a good job of making parts of downtown liveable.

If architects could make another building that molds well with the OHSU tram I bet the skyline there would look a lot better in the southwest waterfront development. You can only do so much with square buildings.

Mix it up like the pointed building in this photo or the copper one.

I think the planning commission is doing a decent job of getting more apartments and condos in the Pearl district.

Dang. You mean I can buy a porno, rent a hooker, get some booze, hook up with some meth and fall asleep under an oily sleeping under a bridge next to the river, and you'll cover everything?

This time I'm getting the blond whore without scabies!
