One of the best things about discovering a new city is finding the hidden funky neighborhoods that shape the fashion and art undercurrents found around town. Alberta Street, in North East Portland, is one of these. For years it was known as a problem neighborhood riddled with crime but in the early 90's as Portland hit a growth spurt, Alberta was cleaned up and reborn as an epicenter of youth and culture.

Astoria Column offers panoramic views of nature and history
Standing in the grass at the Astoria Column, make sure you watch out for low-flying aircraft. Made of balsawood.
It's a tradition that has been going on at the column for years. Visitors buy small balsawood planes at the gift shop, climb to the top of the 125-foot column and launch them into the air. Shouts and laughter of children seeing how far and fast the planes will fly through the air much like the small planes.
The ringing of the bell can be heard up and down the pier, as “Old 300” runs along the Columbia River in Astoria.
