== Rally & March for JOBS and benefits, not cuts! ==
=== SATURDAY, APRIL 16th at NOON ===
Pioneer Courthouse Square
Direct from the front lines of the battle in Madison — Mahlon Mitchell, President of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin.
When talking about why he led the firefighters into the capital to protest Scott Walker’s attacks on working people, Mitchell explained, “When firefighters see an emergency, we respond.”
EIGHT MILLION JOBS were lost in the 2008 meltdown. Today there are more than five job seekers for every job. Congress should focus on creating jobs, not cutting the safety net!
=== Let’s stand up for community values! ===
* Create good jobs now—stop job-killing trade agreements.
* Protect and strengthen the safety net.
* Support collective bargaining as 15,000 workers launch campaign for fairness at work in Portland.
* Wall Street should pay for the economic crisis, not working people!
=== Please bring non-perishable food items for the Oregon Food Bank. ===

; May Day
May 1 has been the traditional day of international worker solidarity since 1890, when American and European workers held mass demonstrations to commemorate the May 1, 1886 U.S. general strike that won American workers the eight-hour day.
Today, from revolutionaries in Cairo, to protesters in Wisconsin, to day laborers in Portland, workers are continuing to struggle for their rights.
On May 1, 2011, join workers around the globe in celebrating International Workers' Day with a march against the attacks on the working class and immigrants.

Portland Aerial Tram

The Portland Aerial Tram is one of two in the nation, the other in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It opened in 2006 to connect Oregon Health and Science University's main campus up on Marquam hill with the newer OHSU wellness center and the South Waterfront district. It costs $4 for the general public to ride and is free to physicians, students and patients.
The tram was decided to be a necessary and the best solution for allowing OHSU to continue to grow. OHSU paid $40 million of the construction costs and the city of Portland paid $8.5 million of the tram's $57 million construction cost. Using tax increment financing, the city expects to recoup its investment from increased property taxes from the tram's contribution to the South Waterfront neighborhood and North Macadam Urban Renewal Area. OHSU operates the tram, while the city maintains it.
The two tram cars are named "Walt" and "Jean".

Portland Art Museum

The Portland Art Museum is a perfectly respectable civic art museum on the South Park Blocks.
The collection includes artifacts from native American artists, Pacific Northwest artists from the 1930s, an eerie Alfred Maurer cubist portrait of George Washington that deserves to be explained better (it was his last canvas), and one truly great image by the French academic painter William Bouguereau, among many other half-hidden treasures. 
The original 1932 building was designed by Pietro Belluschi, shockingly modern at the time. It had been expanded three or four times before the most recent renovation in 2008, which took over the neighboring Masonic Temple to the north with new exhibition space, a basement cinema, and meeting space.

Portland Beavers

thumb|The Beaver's last logo
The Portland Beavers was Portland's AAA minor league baseball team. The team was put up for sale after failing to find a new ballpark to replace PGE Park, which was being converted into a soccer/football only stadium as part of the deal to bring a new soccer team into town. 
The team may have finished their final season in last place in the league with a 59-85 record, but they did win their last home game at PGE Park, as 6-5 victory over the Las Vegas 51s. 
The Beaver's major league affiliate since 2001 was the San Diego Padres.

Portland Broadband

Portland could greatly improve internet delivery to its citizens by deploying a community-owned broadband network. Other American cities have done this successfully, and now enjoy faster internet at lower prices than communities--like Portland--that must obtain service from monopolistic or oligopolistic corporations.How Chattanooga, Bristol, and Lafayette Built the Best Broadband in America: The fastest networks in the nation are built by local governments, a new report by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance and Benton Foundation reveals.

: Google has been instructing Portlanders to “do cool things that matter” as they gradually trickle into town like slow water torture. Executive Kevin Rose, who has the honor of being personally protested by San Francisco’s anti-tech movement, just bought an 1892 house in Northwest Portland, and plans to demolish it to make way for a millionaire mansion. Their Google Fiber project has pinpointed Portland as a target city. And last month, the leviathan struck a franchise agreement with City Council to have Fiber installed.

Portland Building

The Portland Building in downtown houses city offices. 
The building itself is a controversial postmodern design by architect Michael Graves. Local detractors -- notably former mayors of the city, and Portland's own internationally known architect Pietro Belluschi -- criticized its ticky-tacky look and unworkable interior spaces. 
The western facade serves as a pedestal for Raymond Kaskey's colossal allegorical bronze of Portlandia, easily the best part of the whole affair.

Portland City Reservoirs

right|300px|thumb|Reservoir #4, Washington Park
The Portland City Reservoirs date from between 1894 and 1911. 
Reservoirs #3 and #4 are located in Washington Park, and Reservoirs #1, #5 and #6 are on the east and south sides of Mount Tabor. The rectangular #6 is the largest, with a long-dormant fountain reactivated in 2007. There's a reservoir #7, a smaller underground tank near Mount Tabor's summit, still part of the system. 
The former Reservoir #2 stood northeast of the corner of SE 60th Avenue and Division before it was decommissioned in the 1980s; its distinctive pumphouse is a private single-family residence, and an entire residential development stands in the depression. 
Four of the reservoirs were done in Ernest Ransome's patented reinforced-concrete system, so early they were considered experimental at the time. The rounded pumphouses, which look like rough medieval stonework, are poured concrete etched to look like stone. They're listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 
Portland's reservoirs remain uncovered, which is against EPA standards. Recent word is that those standards may be relaxed, which would save Portland a good deal of money.

Portland Climate Action Now!

The City of Portland's Portland Climate Action Now! initiative aspires to help Portlandians "reduce your carbon emissions and make a real difference on climate change in four key areas":
* Healthy Home
* Getting Around
* Your Stuff
* Food Choices
From the City of Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability Climate ProtectionCity of Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability Climate Protection page. page:
; Taking action on climate change can seem overwhelming. But residents like you are already taking important steps to move us in the right direction.
The choices we make everyday about food, heating and powering our homes, getting around and buying and disposing of stuff make up more than half of all local carbon emissions. We all have an important role to play.
The good news is, making choices that protect the climate makes sense in our everyday lives. These choices help us save money, be healthy, support our local economy and connect with family, friends and community.
The Portland Climate Action Now! campaign can help you reduce your greenhouse gas emissions and make a real difference on climate change in these four areas: Healthy Home, Getting Around, Your Stuff, and Food Choices.
Portland Climate Action Now! puts the 2009 Climate Action Plan to work! The Climate Action Plan was adopted by Portland City Council and Multnomah County’s Board of Commissioners in October, 2009.

Portland Farmers Market

Portland Farmers Market includes six markets serving Portland's diverse food eating communities.
Nearly everyone (occasional hunger artists notwithstanding) eats substances called "food." Unlike those substances dished out to motorists idling in front of a fast-food drive-thru window, or festering--fresh from a sweatshop assembly line--in factory-made containers perched on supermarket shelves, the food found at Portland's farmers markets is actual food.

Portland Firefighter's Park

thumb|500px|Portland Firefighter's Park
Portland Firefighter's Park is a small park in a triangle of land at SW 19th and Burnside. It is dedicated to honoring the city's fallen firefighters, but was built specifically in honor of Chief David Campbell who died in the line of duty on June 26th, 1911. 
The park was completed in 1927. The designer was the well-known French-American architect Paul Cret, and the sculptor was Avard Fairbanks. 
As of March 2010, the park is being considered for inclusion on the National Historic Register of Places. The interest in including it on the NHRP stemmed directly from plans that the David Campbell Memorial Association had made for creating a new firefighter's memorial, and removing many of the key elements of the park.

Portland Hotel

The Portland Hotel (also referred to as the Hotel Portland) was a eight-story hotel that existed where Pioneer Courthouse Square is now. The construction of the hotel first started under Henry Villard in the 1870s, but work on it was halted when Villard's fortunes crashed. Before the hotel finally opened in 1889, the two-story construction site was often referred to as "Villard's folly" or "Villard's ruins". In the late 19th century and the early 20th century, the Portland Hotel was the hotel of choice for visiting dignitaries and the well-off.
The hotel was demolished in 1951 in order to make way for a two-story parking garage for Meier & Frank.

Portland International Airport

Oregon's largest airport, Portland International Airport, is located in Northeast Portland between the Columbia River and the Columbia Slough. 
The site was first purchased by the Portland City Council in 1936, but was not completed until 1940. The airport has been offering international service since the 1950s, though intercontinental service has been minimal or non-existent at times. Today there are direct flights to Canada, Mexico, Japan and the Netherlands.
The Federal Aviation Administration's identifier for the airport is PDX, which has also become one of the many nicknames for Portland. PDX consistently ranks among the most efficient and well-designed airports in the United States, and is connected to the rest of the city by the MAX.

Portland Loo

The Portland Loo is the name of the outdoor public unisex restrooms in downtown Portland.http://www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/59293 First unveiled in December 2008, there are now six Loos in Southwest and Northwest Portland.http://www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/article/408226
==Design==
Each Loo is composed of stainless steel wall panels mounted to a slim profile structure, so that it weighs a fraction of a typical restroom and can be delivered on site as a complete enclosure.
The panels include louvers at the top and bottom of the wall to create an interior environment that offers complete user privacy, while remaining as connected with the outside as possible. The lower louvers are angled to provide law enforcement the opportunity to observe the number of users within the unit without compromising user privacy. The unit's hand-washing station is mounted on the exterior to promote shorter use times and to serve the general pedestrian population.
The entire unit can be off-grid and lit entirely by solar-powered LED fixtures, or can be pre-wired for 115 volt AC power. At night, an outside light shines on the exterior until the unit is occupied; then, interior lights activate and exterior lights dim, indicating that said Loo is occupied. 
The cleaning and maintenance implements, as well as electrical components and solar batteries, are housed in the cabinet at the rear of the unit.
The Loos are maintained by Central City Concern.http://www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/article/409534
