TIPS FOR TRAVELERS
If you are traveling in the downtown area and spot some kindly
folks walking around with Kelly green jackets or bright yellow
rain capes bearing APP patches, they are Portland Guides. They
can help you find that special restaurant, a place to get film
developed, or if you're really lost just point you in the right
direction. Since rain, or should I call it mist, is almost a
daily occurrence in Portland it's wise to follow the example
of the APP guides and keep a raincoat handy.
If you don't want to bother with driving to see all of the
Portland sights, drop by the downtown Visitors Information Center,
S W Front and Salmon, directly across from Salmon Street Springs
in Tom McCall Waterfront Park, 503-222-2223; and catch the ART
Cultural Bus #63. It makes stops at the International Rose Test
Gardens, the Japanese Garden, the Lloyd Center, the Memorial
Coliseum, the Oregon Zoo, the Oregon Convention Center, the Oregon
History Center, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the
Pacific Northwest College of Art, the Portland Art Museum, the
Portland Center for the Performing Arts, Tom McCall Waterfront
Park, and the World Forestry Center.
If you do decide to drive around Portland, it might help to
know that the city is laid out in quadrants. Burnside Street
is the north and south divider, and the Willamette River, separates
east from west. Downtown addresses increase from 0 beginning
at Burnside Street and Front Avenue.
Does one of your traveling companions insist on leading you
around on a leash several times a day? Then you'll be glad to
know that, in case of an emergency, you can contact the vets
at the Companion Pet Clinic, 3345 NE 82nd Ave, 503-252-1601;
or the Emergency Veterinary Clinic, 19314 SW Mohave Ct, Tualatin,
503-691-7922.
