Hollywood District

The Hollywood District is a neighborhood of northeast Portland, named for its historic 1920s-era Hollywood Theatre. Although a mixed commercial and residential area, it serves primarily as a shopping district adjacent to the Lloyd District.
While the Lloyd district hosts the nicer name brand and expensive boutiques, the Hollywood district is known for it's middle-of-the-way goods and prices. The rich do not come here, but the middle class does. Many shops ranging from medical marajuana dispensaries to grocery stores are found in Hollywood District, with not many notable or cultural institutions other than the Hollywood Theatre.
Other than the shopping, Hollywood District is known for a smattering of well recieved restaurants and lounges, as well as night-clubs and dance halls. While not very affluent, they are attended by those attempting to make an appearance in white collar circles.
The Hollywood Theatre, while at one point a cultural beacon for the Hollywood Distruct is now a run-down, seedy theatre known for it's dual showings of old movies and pornography. Two entrances one in the front, and one in the back allow a patron to choose with some privacy. The Pornography is only open at night, and is straight, although the only clientelle attracted are men. The old movie shows are 24 hours, however.
Grant Park is located within the Hollywood District.
