Driving in Portland

== Unsafe At Any Speed Unsafe At Any Speed==
Cars! Ugh! What a pain!
Burdened by endless highways to hell, virulent suburban and exurban sprawl, non-stop slaughter of humans and other living beings by moving vehicles, a huge portion of the Earth's crust covered in asphalt, never-ending resource wars, and oil gushers at the bottom of the ocean, sane Portlandians are eager to bid a less-than-fond "good riddance" to car culture. This attitude is in line with a growing recognition that our species is best served by taking our focus off feeding our addictions to fossil fuels and instead find ways to muddle through life without the constant injection of such poisonous substances.
=== Park It ===
Perhaps the most appropriate driving behavior in Portland involves driving away from the city and straight to the Automobile Repository in Middle Of Nowhere, Arizona.The Automobile Repository In Middle Of Nowhere, Arizona Exchange your auto for a bike and then pedal back to Portland. Arizonans may not harbor much empathy for sentient beings migrating to their state from "south of the border," but they'll welcome your hunk of metal, plastic, glass, rubber and petroleum products with open parking lots!

East 12th Avenue

East 12th Avenue is a north-south running avenue located on the Eastside. South of Burnside it is Southeast 12th, while north of Burnside it is Northeast 12th.
==Northeast 12th Avenue==
In Northeast, NE 12th runs from Burnside, crosses Sullivan's Gulch, and then terminates at NE Lloyd Boulevard. The street resumes at NE Broadway, running through the Irvington, Sabin and King neighborhoods before terminating at NE Webster. Three blocks past Webster, at NE Emerson, the street picks up again before ending again at NE Holman in Woodlawn. The street makes a final appearance for the length of a block between NE Buffalo and NE Holland. With the exception of the stretch between Burnside and Lloyd Boulevard, NE 12th is a residential street. 
; Notable Sites on NE 12th Avenue
* Benson Polytechnic High School - 546 NE 12th
==Southeast 12th Avenue==
In Southeast, SE 12th runs from Burnside through the neighborhoods of Buckman and Hosford-Abernethy before it merges with SE 11th at SE Clinton and becomes SE Milwaukie Avenue. During this incarnation of the street, it exists as a two lane one-way street running south. SE 12th pops up again - this time as a residential street - between SE Boise and SE Holgate.

East 28th Avenue

East 28th Avenue is a north-south avenue that exists in several fragments between its northernmost point of NE Holman Street and its southernmost point where it turns into SE Bybee Boulevard. Like most avenues, Burnside divides it into a north and south portion.
==Northeast 28th Avenue==
From Burnside, NE 28th crosses Sullivan's Gulch and continues to NE Klickitat before terminating. It resumes for a very short block just north of Fremont, and fully continues at the top of the Alameda Ridge at NE Alameda Street, where it continues as a residential street until it intersects with NE Holman.
==Southeast 28th Avenue==
From Burnside, SE 28th takes a slight jog at SE Stark and runs down to Hawthorne Boulevard. The street resumes at Clinton and continues down to just past the Eastmoreland Golf Club, where it becomes SE Bybee.
==28 Feast==
The portion of 28th that runs between SE Stark and Sandy Boulevard is a business district populated with many small bars and restaurants. Banners along this stretch of the street proclaim it to be "28 Feast". This district is part of the East Burnside Business Association.

East 82nd Avenue

East 82nd Avenue is a major North-South arterial on the Eastside. It passes through the neighborhoods of Cully, Sumner, Roseway, Madison South, Montavilla, South Tabor, Powellhurst-Gilbert, Foster-Powell, Lents, Mt. Scott-Arleta, and Brentwood-Darlington before continuing South into Clackamas County.
As of 2007, seven of Portland's 10 most dangerous intersections (measured by pedestrian deaths) were on 82nd or nearby 122nd avenues.
Portions of East 82nd Avenue are known as the Avenue of Roses, Oregon Route 213, the Cascade Highway North No. 68, and of course SE 82nd Avenue and NE 82nd Avenue.
== Reputation ==
Although the street and the surrounding neighborhoods have improved economically in recent years, the area is commonly seen as being a low-income, undesirable part of town. The general area surrounding East 82nd is sometimes derisively referred to as "Felony Flats".
82nd has long had a reputation as a hub for prostitution, strip clubs, sex shops, lingerie stores, and other aspects of Portland's sex industry. This reputation has existed since at least the 1970s.Fran Genovese, Voices on 82nd: What will it take to tame the street's sex trade?, The Oregonian, 2008-10-25. As of 2008, prostitution arrests had decreased dramatically following a series of stings.Sarah Mirk, Prostitution Decreases on 82nd. Where Has it Gone?, Portland Mercury, 2008-11-18.

Eastbank Esplanade

right|250px|thumb|a floating portion of the Esplanade
The Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade is a linear park and bicycle and pedestrian pathway on the eastern bank of the Willamette River, much of it directly across from the Tom McCall Waterfront Park on the western shore. 
Dedicated in 2001, the Esplanade runs on the edge of the Kerns, Buckman, and Hosford-Abernethy neighborhoods. It's one section of Portland's 40-Mile Loop trail system. The northern terminus is the Steel Bridge. At its southern end, near OMSI, the Esplanade connects to the Springwater Corridor. Some 1200 feet of the path is a floating walkway, the longest of its kind in the United States. Thirteen markers along the esplanade indicate the eastside street grid.

Eastside

The "Eastside" is a colloquial definition for any part of Portland that is on the east side of the Willamette River. People iln North Portland, Northeast Portland, and Southeast Portland all commonly refer to themselves as living on the "Eastside".
Because of the political and historical division of the Five Quadrants, there is a belief that the Westside is more influential to the city's politics, and the Eastside is under-represented, especially when the farther reaches is concerned.

Eliminating poverty in the Portland area

How can poverty be eliminated? Poverty can be defined quantitatively, as a certain income level. Then, behaviorally or observationally, poverty can manifest in multiple ways. It can manifest as homelessness (Portland is #1!), carlessness (potentially, although this can also be a choice in a city that values low-car life), hunger and food insecurity, and/or a lack of health care.
Unemployment is a major cause of poverty. Portland has traditionally had a higher unemployment rate than other metropolitan areas. As of April 2013, Greater Portland has the same unemployment rate as the national average, 7.1%.Unemployment Rates for Metropolitan Areas, Bureau of Labor Services

Everett Street

As printed originally in the Oregonian, October 12, 1921 "Portland Street Names – October 12, 1921 – Everett", origin of Everett Street's name. 
The ceremonies celebrating the consolidation of Portland, East Portland, and Albina, were extensive and magnificent. One feature was a parade of the state national guard, civic departments, clubs and fraternal organizations. In those days a parade was a bigger event than it is now when it combats for public notice a far more intensive and complex scheme of life.
Besides the parade there was little else worthy of notice in Portland that day. The procession was led by Colonel Edward Everett, still lving and at that time colonel of the 3d Oregon infantry regiment, which he had organized. The route was through the principal streets of Portland and across the river to East Portland and Albina. It was a tour of inspection of the new city as well as a parade.
Shortly afterward the streets letters in alphabetical order were renamed for pioneers and prominent citizens. "A" becoming Ankeny, "B" for Burnside, and so on. Colonel Everett modestly says the naming committee had a difficult time with "E" street, there being no pioneer of sufficient prominence, and with a name beginning with "E"; so, he says, after much search they gave up and named the street for him. He never received an official notification of the honor.
Colonel Everett was born in Boston in 1856 and in 1877 went to San Francisco. In 1883 he came to Portland on a visit and liked the city so much he decided to stay. In the early years of his residence he was prominent in a variety of ways, chiefly through his national guard activities. Apathy toward politics and public duties caused him to decline a number of tendered offices.
In 1888 the insurance firm known as Everett & Co. was organized by him and still exists under his direction. Before that he had been a broker. Colonel Everett, although not in the best of health, is still actively engaged in the insurance business, and is at his office frequently.

Failing Street

As printed originally in the Oregonian, November 9, 1921 "Portland Street Names – November 9, 1921 – Failing", origin of Failing Street's name. 
Early banking history, education and political activities in the village of Portland have the name of Failing recurring frequently. The father, Josiah Failing, and the son, Henry Failing, coming to Portland in 1851 from New York city, have practically parallel careers in these parts of civic life.
The two established the firm of J. Failing & Co. dealing in general merchandise, the same year they arrived, and the father at once became a leader in many ways. In 1853 he was elected major and did much to give a proper start to the destiny of the town. His interest in education matters as a trustee of the public schools was largely responsible for their early growth and later excellence. As a republican Josiah Failing was a delegate to the national convention which nominated Lincoln for a second term and of the convention which first nominated General Grant.
The son, Henry Failing, took a close interest in the business he and his father established, which was later restricted to hardware and iron supplies. He became associated with Henry W. Corbett in the banking business in 1869, and two years afterwards they also joined in the hardware business, both enterprises having been rewarded with remarkable success.
Like his father, Henry Failing served as a mayor of Portland, being first elected in 1864, re-elected a second term and again elected in 1875. He served various other offices, but preferred private life and was best known as a banker.
