Shop

Venues in Portland where goods are purchased and/or consumed. Considered to be largely recreational, it is an integral part of the city economy. While many cities make a large effort to promote shopping as feature of tourism, this is not entirely encouraged by the locals of Portland. This is due to the prevailing taboo of visitors and tourists. 
Nevertheless, the articulate nature of Portlandians has over the years produced a range of retail stores that provide specialty products and services that in many ways are unique to the city. And of coarse, there are also malls that contain national brands known by all. 
==Portland's Infamously Weird Shops==
Within Portland, there are a portion of retailers that have been culturally linked to Portland's social culture. They stand in one way or another as a symbol to the eccentricity and personality of Portland. Probably considered to be the holy grail of product branding, for a customer to value themselves by the places they shop. 
* Powell's Bookstore (Large Independent Bookseller)
* Voodoo Doughnut (Donut Shop)
* Keana's Candyland (Restaurant & Coffee shop)
* Living Room Theaters (Restaurant & Theater)
==Specialty Retail==
Beyond the shops famed to define Portland culture, there exists a wide variety of shops that have appeared to serve the meticulous tastes of Portlandians.

Skidmore Fountain

Skidmore Fountain, a landmark in the heart of downtown Portland, opened in 1888. It was named for Stephen Skidmore and partly financed by his will. The fountain was designed by the sculptor Olin Warner.
==Location==
The fountain sits beneath and to the south of the Burnside Bridge, at Southwest First Avenue and Pine Street. The Portland Saturday Market surrounds it on weekends from spring to fall. TriMet's Skidmore Fountain MAX station sits nearby.
==History==
Stephen Skidmore was a arrived in Portland in 1850 and went on to establish a successful drug business. In his will he left $5,000 for the construction of fountain that would provide drinking water for people, horses, and dogs. The fountain ended up costing $18,000, which resulted in donations of additional funds from Skidmore's friends Charles Sitton, Henry Failing, and Tyler Woodward in order to complete the fountain. While preparing for the celebration of its opening, city leaders rebuffed an offer by Henry Weinhard to pump beer into the fountain through city fire hoses. The officials feared Portland's citizens would puncture the valuable hoses to intercept the beverage on its way to the new fountain.

Skin test

This is a skin test to see how different skins installed in Portland Wiki appear. The goal is to find a way of creating a portland wiki skin that DOESN'T look like Wikipedia. There are a couple of ideas on how to go about doing this. 
# DBE (Done by Expert) - the most popular way to do things in the past decade. Find the person good at doing this, give a bit of creative direction and let them rock out. That works pretty well, except it relies heavily on the notion that you can find and expert in media wiki skins. Mark D. noted there was someone he knew, but getting an expert to do it (out of the kindness of his/her heart seemed like a stretch (especially because mediawiki skins are preposterously difficult))
# Edit Vector (default skin) what wikipedia uses as its default. Sure, it looks relatively simple on screen, but look at the code behind it and it is super crazy complex. Crazy as html, it took me a couple of weeks picking the html that gets outputted, just to understand how and why. I almost got it, but then I looked at the .php, which is the file that produces the html, and I was way out of my league. I went back to the wiki peeps and complained about the skin being impossible to edit and my current IQ level. As always the group is sympathetic of my plight, at the same time stoic about a solution. 
# Hack a simpler skin - so that's what I'm out for doing now. Vector is an absurdity, no way I can hack that monster, but perhaps there are simpler skins out there, I can tweak. I just can't help to think that there is a simple way through this. I mean, technology tends to get overly complicated when it's fostered and curated by hackers. There however a wide variety of hackers. Some hackers want to make as complicated and inhumane as possible, and the more confusing and unusable to non-techies it is, the better the brag rights. There however benevolent hackers. Ones who strive for a Promethean outcome. They stand between heaven and earth and have the wherewith all and kindness to help triage alien code into a terrestrial purpose. In this way, the various skins that are allowed to be alternates in the standard default install, may be what I need to produce a new skin.

Snow

Snow, like tornadoes, is a rare meteorological event in Portland, and is one of the few things that make native Portlanders excited. However, due to Portland's inexperience with snow, even moderate snowfall will cause the city to nearly completely shut down, as Portland residents found in the December of 2008Attig, Rick.

== African, Russian, and Ukrainian refugee resettlement in Portland, Oregon. ==
Article Excerpt
Issues related to international migration and its impacts on society and space have increasingly attracted the attention of geographers and other scholars during the past two decades (see, for example, the work of the geographers Boswell and Curtis 1984; McHugh, Miyares, and Skop 1997; Zelinsky 2001; Mountz and others 2002; Chacko 2003; Wright, Ellis, and Parks 2004). Individuals who embark upon the journey from home and travel to a new place of residence are transformed, as are the places where new migrants settle. Perhaps nowhere in the rapidly diversifying landscapes of the U.S. Pacific Northwest is this process as visible as in Portland, Oregon, a metropolitan area in the midst of rapid demographic, cultural, and economic transformation. Today the state of Oregon ranks eleventh in the nation in terms of total numbers of new refugees. Many arrive from places like the former Soviet Union, Somalia, Ethiopia, Bosnia, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

Socialist Party of Oregon

The Socialist Party of Oregon was founded in 1901, at the same time as the Socialist Party of America. The national party was the result of a merger of the Social Democratic Party (1897) with a wing of the Socialist Labor Party (1876). It also drew locally from several utopian communities, such as Socialist Valley, founded in 1895. Dedicated to an electoral transition from capitalism to socialism, the party's base was a coalition of urban European immigrants and native-born Americans from rural areas.Socialist Party of Oregon | Michael Munk | The Oregon Encyclopedia

Solutions Committee

The Solutions Committee develops the abstract goals of the movement into discrete policy reforms that can be pursued by popular referendum or by campaigns of direct action. We are a crowd-sourced, open-source, fully transparent progressive policy think tank dedicated to developing concrete and tangible approaches to achieving the social goals of the 99%.
We are focused upon two approaches: 
(1) The drafting of ballot measures and model legislation that implements policies that the 99% desire.
(2) Identifying and planning campaigns of direct political action to persuade corporate and governmental bodies to adopt or modify policies in a manner sought by the 99%.
