Brazee Street

As printed originally in the Oregonian, November 18, 1921 "Portland Street Names – November 18, 1921 – Brazee", origin of Brazee Street's name. 
The name of Brazee stands for one of the first engineers in the city of Portland and the construction engineer who was in charge of many of those early engineering projects which opened up navigation and transportation and meant progress for the state.
J.W. Brazee was born in Schoharie country, New York, in 1827 and was educated for a civil engineer and draftsman, also learning carpentry and masonry before he came to California in a sailing vessel in 1850, where he engaged in mining until 1858. In that year he came to Oregon.
Shortly after his arrival the contract for building a trail between Vancouver, Wash. and Fort Simcoe east of the Cascades, was awarded him. This was thought to be an impossible task, but Brazee built it in 30 days at a cost of $4000 and over it were transported all army supplies sent from Vancouver to the fort.
The first railroad to be built in Oregon was the portage around the Cascades of the Columbia on the Oregon side. This was built for J.S. Ruckle by Brazee in 1862, and later he also built the portage on the Washington side for The Dalles and Celilo railroad. Another engineering project he had cahrge of was the building of the locks at Oregon City.
Afterwards he gradually dropped out of engineering life and made his home in Portland for many years. He was one of the organizers and directors of the Portland Savings bank.

== Portland's Many Bridges ==
Portland is famous for its bridges. In fact, during the Great Recession a sizable number of Portlandians can be found living under many of them.Anna Griffin "Homeless camp under Portland's Hawthorne Bridge is a sign of the city's legal limbo." The Oregonian. 2010-01-12.
Bridge City boasts so many spans across its two mighty rivers that "Bridgetown" is one of the city's most popular nicknames. (Other common Portland aliases include Rose City, Puddletown, PDX, Stumptown and others.)

Bridgetown Bucks

Bridgetown Bucks is a currency designed for local use in the Portland, Oregon area. It is a local complementary paper currency note available in four denominations 1, 5, 10, and 20. These beautiful notes are issued by the PDX Currency Corporation, an Oregon non-profit company. This is not government issued money, this is a local currency which will begin circulating in early 2013. The notes are not legal tender and not issued by or associated with any Federal, State, City or local form of government. This is a voluntary use product which only circulates in a small well defined area in and around Portland, Oregon. 
These notes can be spent at participating locally owned Portland merchants or exchanged back into national currency anytime through identified locations around town. Each "Buck" has a value pegged to the U.S. dollar and participating merchants will always accept the notes at face value.
The currency works towards building the local economy by maximizing the circulation of trade within the Portland area. The notes, which have no value outside of the Portland area, encourage wealth to recirculate within the community rather than flowing to out-of-state corporate headquarters and out-of-country suppliers. This ability to recirculate through multiple local transactions and stay within the community can help to build a more resilient local economy in the face of globalized world trade. Shopping at locally owned stores, helps people take personal responsibility for the economic well-being of their community and lays the foundation for a truly vibrant, thriving local economy.

Broadway Avenue

Broadway is a major arterial in Portland running through Southwest Portland, Northwest Portland and Northeast Portland. On the Westside it runs between SW 6th and SW Park, effectively taking the place of "7th Avenue". Broadway is an Avenue on the Westside, and a Street on the Eastside (with the distinction being that avenues run north-south and streets run east-west).
==Southwest Broadway Avenue==
The southern terminus of Broadway is just over I-405, where it merges into SW Arthur. After crossing I-405, the street runs past Portland State University, the Portland Center for the Performing Arts and Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, and Pioneer Courthouse Square before becoming Northwest Broadway as it crosses W. Burnside.
==Northwest Broadway Avenue==
After crossing Burnside, Broadway continues through Northwest Portland until it crosses over the Willamette River on the Broadway Bridge.
==Northeast Broadway Street==
After crossing onto the Eastside, Broadway runs north past the Rose Quarter and becomes a retail and dining district starting around NE 15th. As it enters Hollywood around NE 39th, Broadway becomes a much smaller street. It terminates around NE 72nd, where it becomes NE Jonesmore Street.

Broadway Bridge

The Broadway Bridge is a double leaf Rall Bascule lift bridge across the Willamette River that connects NE Broadway and NW Broadway. It was built in 1912, rehabilitated in 1927, and has average daily traffic of 29,000. "BridgeHunter- Broadway Bridge" | Accessed: 6/15/2014
==History==
The Broadway Bridge was constructed between 1911 and 1912, opening on April 22, 1913. In 2010, it was shutdown for several months while Portland Streetcar tracks were installed as part of the streetcar's Eastside expansion.
==Bridge Design==
:The length of the largest span is 304.1 ft, total length is 1,742.2 ft, deck width is 45.6 ft and vertical clearance above deck is 13.1 ft. The bridge is a double leaf bascule (which means seesaw in French) making it a very complicated drawbridge and is one of the reasons why the Broadway Bridge openings can take 20 minutes or longer (versus 5 to 8 minutes for the Burnside Bridge, Morrison Bridge, and Hawthorne Bridge). The weight of the deck (the leaf) is balanced by a counterweight, of which their are two located above the bridge's deck. The bascale span for this bridge was invented by Theodore Rall, thus the name Rall Bascule. Each leaf, which measure about 140 ft and weigh 2,000 tons, and its counterweight roll back and forth on giant bull wheels to allow maximum river clearance. "Multnomah County- Broadway Bridge" | Accessed: 6/15/2014
:The bridge was designed by Ralph Modjeski of Chicago, Il and the bascule span was designed by the Strobel Engineering Company of Chicago, who holds the Rall patent. The Union Bridge and Construction Co. of Kansas City, Mo constructed the substructure and the Pennsylvania Steel Co. of Steelton, PA fabricated and erected the steel and bascule spans. In 1927 Gustav Lindenthal of New York designed part of the Lovejoy Street ramp as well as modifications to the truss spans.

Bull Run Watershed

[[File:Bull Run Watershed craigregular.jpg|thumb|500px|Water flowing through the Bull Run Watershed. Image: Craig Hennecke]]
Bull Run Watershed has been an important water reservoir since 1895. It is located 26 east of downtown Portland in Mount Hood National Forest, however, snow on Mount Hood does not empty into the Bull Run Watershed. It rains about 130 inches in Bull Run annually, which provides 90-95% of the watershed's water reserve. It drains about 102 square miles of forested landscape. The Bull Run Watershed Management Unit is federally owned and managed by the Mount Hood National Forest; 4% is owned by Portland. 
Bull Run did not get its name from the common term "bullshit" (thankfully), but rather after the cattle who broke loose from pioneers who were crossing the Cascades in the 1850s. 
Nearly 53% of the Bull Run Watershed is classified as "old growth" and has never been logged. There has been no logging at all since 1993. The Bull Run Act, passed in 1977, created many restrictions against logging in that area, however, prior to this, about 16% of Bull Run had been logged.

Burning Man

Burning Man is an art & culture festival that occurs every year in the Northern Nevada desert every September. It's core set of values is an open judgment free environment, thus exists the presence of nudity, public sex, and extensive theatrics. It is for this reason, that it has a slightly dubious reputation among conservative culture. 
Participants who have attended Burning Man, and who agree philosophically are sometimes called 'Burners'. Burners tend to also be actively preparing or supporting efforts for the following event. 
Since the event exists in such a remote location, the preparation and attendance to the event can be quite extensive. It involves a complex set of wilderness survival skills remain healthy. Food and hygiene needs are difficult at best, leading to most participants to form small groups in order to camp together and share talents and resources in a communal way. Often these camps can evolve into providing a wider service to participants. 
==Theme Camps==
Though most theme camps tend to exist only for a single year, there have been some theme camps that have survived in one form or the other. 
Some enduring Theme Camps:
* Temple of Pain
* Pancake Coral
* Jiffy Lube
* Costco Soul mates
==Local Chapters==
As a natural evolution, the Burning Man culture and burner culture over the years have spread into local chapters of the event. The local chapters tend to be connected only by topic to the Burning Man organization (aka the Borg). Liabilities is one reason for this. Nevertheless, most chapters tend to have some common traits. 
Burning Man Local Chapter traits
* Social support for survival and preparation
* Drinks and socials
* Theme camp fund raising events
* Local art shows and exhibits

Category:Bridges
The Burnside Bridge carries Burnside Street across the Willamette River. It was built in 1926 and carries about 56,000 vehicles per day. "BridgeHunter- Burnside Bridge" | Accessed: 6/15/2014
==Bridge Design==
:The Burnside Bridge is the only Willamette River bridge to be designed with the help of an architect. This was a result of the early 20th century City Beautiful Movement, a philosophy of architecture and urban planning with the intent of introducing beautification and monumental grandeur into cities. Its influence can be seen in the Italian Renaissance towers on the bridge. "Multnomah County- Burnside Bridge" | Accessed: 6/15/2014
:The bridge is a double leaf Strauss style bascule lift. Its largest span is 266.1 ft, total length is 856 ft, deck width is 67.9 ft, and vertical clearance above the deck is 17.3 ft.

Burnside Street

Burnside Street is the axis that splits Portland's Five Quadrants on its North-South axis.
* On the west side of the Willamette River, it is called West Burnside.
* It's named East Burnside on the east side of the Willamette River.
Before the street renaming of 1931, Ankeny Street was the north-south axis for the Eastside.
=== History of Burnside Street ===
As printed originally in the Oregonian, October 5, 1921 "Portland Street Names – October 5, 1921 – Burnside", origin of Burnside Street's name. 
Contrary to the frequently voiced opinion that Burnside street was named after General Ambrose Burnside of civil war fame, the name was chosen to supplant the former appellation of B street when Portland and East Portland were consolidated in 1891 in honor of Davis W. Burnside, a pioneer of the early ’50′s and a well-known business man in the early history of the city. The East Portland Street which became Burnside Street, was previously known as F Street.
Davis Burnside was born in Vermont in 1825 and went to California in 1850 following the first wave of the gold rush. In 1852 he came north to Portland and settled here, establishing a small business which later grew to quite respectable proportions.
He became a member of the city council and took an active interest in civic affairs. He was also a prominent member of the city’s volunteer fire department. In 1860 he married Jane Davis.

Burnside Streetcar Line

The Burnside Line was a small streetcar line built by the Portland Railway Company and opened for operation in 1903. It ran from East Burnside and Union Avenue, up Pine Street to 18th Avenue, and then south to Stark Street. The line was extended across the Burnside Bridge west to 16th by Portland Railway, Light & Power in 1907. By 1911 service had dropped to a short line running between 16th and 5th on the Westside, and the line was entirely discontinued in 1915.
