In 1903 the Alberta streetcar line spurred the growth of this then-suburban neighborhood. Over the next decade, as the population of Portland doubled, Alberta thrived and its business district would mirror those streetcar districts throughout the city. In the 1940s, as the automobile took over, redlining created a thriving multicultural neighborhood that would become known for art, jazz, great food, and a tight community. We'll explore this now hip neighborhood, its ice cream, coffee, art, history, and find out what makes it so special. One hour, 1.25 miles (2 km).

I live locally and had some credit with Viatour so I thought I would take a local tour and learn more about my own city. Angela was a great guide and knew lots of interesting information about some of the newer businesses, food scene and the street art. She also knew quite a bit about the history of Portland and specifically the Alberta Arts area. I highly recommend this tour company and specifically Angela as a guide. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, it’s a great way to spend an hour or more! We even met the co-artist and creator of the Happy Alley! What a cool concept and so totally Portland. Haha!
