Property Watch: A 1961 Midcentury on Mount Tabor with Marvelous Views

1 week ago | pdxmonthly.com | Melissa Dalton

Like so many of Portland's neighborhoods, Mt. Tabor offers an interesting mix. You'll find late-1800s-era farmhouses that speak to when the area was sparsely populated and home to orchards and "the best fruit and berries," according to an 1892 real estate brochure calling the area "Portland's Suburban Queen." A railway connected it to downtown in 1889.
Portland Neighborhood Guide: John’s Landing

2 weeks ago | pdxmonthly.com | Rebecca Jacobson

In some parts of the city, it can be easy to forget the Willamette River exists. Not so in the sliver of South Portland known as John’s Landing, lying just south of South Waterfront’s gleaming towers and scrubs-clad masses. Bounded to the west by I-5, to the east John’s Landing faces that big ol’ body of water.
Portland’s Most Anticipated Restaurants in Spring 2025

2 weeks ago | pdxmonthly.com | Alex Frane

If this list of anticipated openings looks a little familiar, you’re not alone. Spring 2025’s lineup of “new” restaurants is more of a parade of reopenings, expansions, and that old Portland chestnut, pop-ups opening brick-and-mortars. But hotly anticipated they remain—we’re talking nationally celebrated sushi, wacky pizzas from a Chopped alum, bacon-egg-and-cheese bánh cuốn. All of them exude a warm and breezy approach to hospitality, even when tackling caviar service and tasting menus.
Property Watch: A Jewel of an English Cottage in Eastmoreland

2 weeks ago | pdxmonthly.com | Melissa Dalton

In the mid-1920s, fast-growing Portland neighborhoods were treated like competitive sports teams in the pages of The Oregonian. Advertisements touted spec homes of all sizes, and real estate articles breathlessly recounted how much money was flowing and where it was going.

Four Fantastic Nonalcoholic Oregon Beers

3 weeks ago | pdxmonthly.com | Alex Frane

A few years ago, you’d have been lucky to find a palatable nonalcoholic beer at your grocery store. Today, you can find entire coolers devoted to them. Always at the forefront of sudsy trends, Oregon has embraced the NA ale and boozeless lager, with historic breweries releasing NA versions of classic labels and entirely alcohol-free operations opening around the state. Below, find a summer’s worth of cans to keep in the ice chest.
5 Standouts from the TEDxPortland 2025 Lineup

3 weeks ago | pdxmonthly.com | Matthew Trueherz

TEDXPortland organized its 13th annual conference around the word continuum. Time, that is, generally speaking—how we work with and against it, spend it, mark it, and try desperately to make the most of the hours we get. The regional event is an offshoot of the larger, international conference “Big TED,” and both revolve around a certain air of surprise and mystery. You don’t know much about what the show will entail until you’re in it.
Soar and Steel Are Portland’s First Ultimate Frisbee Alliance

3 weeks ago | pdxmonthly.com | Alex Frane

On an unusually warm Saturday afternoon in early April, a crowd gathered on stadium bleachers at the University of Oregon’s Portland outpost. They weren’t there to watch a ball game—foot or base—but the inaugural home game for Soar, Oregon’s new—and currently only—women’s professional ultimate frisbee team. At halftime, it wasn’t looking great for the home team, down five to 12 against the 2024 Western Ultimate League champions, Colorado Alpenglow.
Property Watch: Cozy Cabin in Manzanita on the Oregon Coast for $675K

3 weeks ago | pdxmonthly.com | Melissa Dalton

The Oregon coast has more than a few grand, multimillion-dollar getaways, but we are partial to the vintage cabins, A-frames, and whatever you want to call this house. Let's add this cute number in Manzanita to the group. On first glance, with its asymmetrical, stacked form and vertical cedar cladding, it reads treehouse. But once inside, it's all cozy cabin, complete with sunken living room, freestanding stove, and oh-so-much delightful wood detailing throughout.
