You may know Portland by its official nickname, The City of Roses. Or maybe as RIPCITY, the name given to honor our beloved Trailblazers. Or maybe you know Portland as the micro-brew beer capital of the nation. But Portland is far more than any of this. Have you ever wondered how the nation's 29th largest city came to be run by a local bartender? Or do you know about the man whose "uncommon" sense saved the City of Roses from certain destruction? Have you any idea the role that "architectural envy" played in the design of a Portland icon? And I bet you don't know what connection the ill fated Titanic or Romeo's Juliet or an unbelievable daredevil act for the ages has to our city. I invite you to join me for a unique historical walking tour which I call The Rest of the Story. Together we will follow Portland's journey from a small wilderness clearing, through the rough and tumble 1800's, and finally into the city often voted as "One of America's Best Places to Live"
The Rest of the Story tour is a two hour walk through downtown Portland and a walk through history. Our history spans the decades from the cities beginning's 170 years ago to its current (and infamous) appearances on the nightly news Beginning at Pioneer Courthouse Square we will make stops where events and people have literally changed our city's history. The tour is a loop which means we return to The Square at the conclusion of the tour
