There was a time in Portland, Oregon, long before safe bike lanes and inviting coffee shops, that the city featured an outdated downtown, a lagging economy, and not much hope for the future. Then the 1980s and '90s came and a new Portland was making its presence felt, a Portland steeped in creativity and bold initiative. Eventually, Portland would gain national attention in areas such as urban living, advertising, athletic wear, dining, and craft brewing. That can be hard to remember in the aftermath of Covid, rising crime, and tent cities, but beneath the graffiti, Portland remains a vibrant, livable city with much to celebrate. Portland Renaissance reminds readers of what shaped Portland into a great city and how so much of it began in the last two decades of the 20th century.
