Once spring arrives, Portland starts looking its prettiest!Our native rhododendron, azaleas, camillias, quince, magnolias, apple and cherry blossoms seem to brighten every path, street and yard. It's a beautiful time for a walking tour. Even if it drizzles a little bit, there are plenty of places to pop into for a local coffee or libation.
Mike's History Tours are an option for those who aren't from Portland and aren't sure where to start. For only $20 you can learn from a native, and visit sites that many Portlanders don't know the history of – and certainly you'll enjoy springing these facts on your friends! If you're a local, what a fun diversion and a chance to learn about virtually every building in the neighborhood.Portlanders, here's a challenge for you:MIKE'S HISTORY FUN QUIZ #1The Ringside Steakhouse building on West Burnside
