Walking Portland by Sybilla Avery Cook

Walking Portland by Sybilla Avery Cook (1998 Edition)

Remember the Rose City circa 1998? Take a delightful stroll down memory lane, or get inspired for future explorations, with Sybilla Avery Cook's Walking Portland. IMPORTANT REALITY CHECK: This guide was published in 1998! Portland has changed dramatically – new buildings, altered routes, vanished businesses, different transit. Therefore, DO NOT rely on this book for current navigation, addresses, business recommendations (like snack stops), opening hours, safety, or public transit info. Think of this instead as a charming time capsule and a fantastic source of ideas. Follow the concepts behind 22 thoughtfully designed walking tours that, back in '98, delved into the rich history of downtown, the quirky charm of neighborhoods like Goose Hollow and Laurelhurst, the beauty of urban parks, and strolls along the Willamette. Let Cook's historical tidbits and route suggestions spark your curiosity to discover today's Portland using current, reliable resources.
