If you're wandering around the South Waterfront and find yourself with a little time to kill, the…read morePortland Aerial Tram is one of those why not experiences that turns into glad I did that. It's a quick ride, but don't let that fool you. The moment that cabin lifts off, you're floating over the freeway, climbing straight up the hill like you've somehow cheated gravity. And when you hit that height, get your camera ready because the views don't ease in they hit you all at once. The river stretches out, the city stacks itself in layers, and on a clear day it feels like you can see half of Portland laid out below you. Now let me tell you about those towers. Nobody prepares you for that part. You're cruising along thinking this is smooth and peaceful, maybe even getting a little too confident, and then the tram rolls over one of those support towers and suddenly this thing pitches and rocks and gives a little bounce like it just remembered it's hanging from a wire. I watched a grown man go from leaning cool against the glass to grabbing the rail like it owed him money. I'm not saying I did the same thing, but if there were security cameras, I hope they enjoyed the show. It feels like you're dangling from a high wire in the sky, and for a split second you start making life decisions and promises you have no intention of keeping once your feet are back on the ground. I don't even know what the ticket runs these days, but even if it's around ten bucks, it's money well spent. There's also that move people talk about catch a bus up near Washington Park or the zoo, hike your way through the trails, and ride the tram down. Hard to argue with that kind of finish. Sure, it technically drops you off at a hospital, which isn't exactly a tourist destination, but honestly that almost adds to the charm. It's practical, a little strange, and somehow still one of the cooler quick things you can do. Five stars. If you're nearby and not doing anything, go take the ride. Just know that when that cabin hits those towers and starts swaying around, you might discover a whole new level of respect for gravity and your own grip strength.

This was hands down the most unique experience I have ever had going to a hospital! This is such a…read morecool tourist attraction lol well that is to say a transportation service turned tourist attraction! Most of the people riding are actually the hospital staff who have either ridden their bikes, train or parked their car down at the bottom and take the tram up to work! It's so cool because it offers you the most beautiful views of Portland! You see the river and multiple Mountain View's on a clear day. We came the only day it wasn't raining which was our very last day! If you have an hour it's worth it to just stop by. You don't need longer than that!

We tried our best to abide by the rules, but as with most of these kind of public transit, a lot of people don't unfortunately. According to their system map, they have three different lines. Two lines cross the river to the East side of Portland while the other goes from North to South of Portland. The ride was like $2 valid for 2.5 hours.

And I've been using it since about the early 1990s when it became the hub for the blue and red lines on their westbound and eastbound journeys. And in some ways there's really not much to review. You get on the train and off the train, buy tickets or tap your Hop pass, and cruise off more or less to work or head home. Biut that's the short view. The long view reveals so much more. To my mind, this transit center is at the top of the heap because it is one of many "pillars" that holds Pioneer Courthouse Square, Portland's crown jewel and living room, together and makes sense of Downtown Portland. It's also a major reason why so many people have moved to Portland. Where else can you jump off the train and: buy coffee and treats, make travel plans and buy bus tickets, watch the television news live, people watch, and watch political demonstrations and sand castle competitions (among 100 or more events per year). Right here! Two things I do here are jump off the train and get coffee at Starbucks or run down to Rite Aid just half a block away and pick up needed household items without missing a train or a beat. There's so much more going on here, of course, and it's all usually of high entertainment value, particularly during Rose Festival week And the Christmas holidays. Take it from me, this is such a fabulous place to wait for the train. Give it a try sometime and I think you'll see what I mean!

It took about 25 minutes for the tram to arrive at the airport. The ride was comfortable. It was a convenient way to see different parts of the city as well.

Making my way down Burnside rain or dry darkness (I go to my office quite early) it is this station that I await my chariot, or rather streetcar. It seems to always be neat and in good order, plus that little running sign that give out semi-accurate information has yet to be completely wrong! I tend to find myself among a host of unique and interesting humans. Some venturing to work like myself, some I think just venturing home from the night before, others not venturing much at all but rather just enjoying our little stations hospitality. There is also a doughnut shop in the parking lot adjacent to the stop, greeting us all with the aroma of fresh and I'm sure delicious pastries. We have a little covered area to gather under on particularly wet days; those are the morning that we all get to know each other a bit more (one of us doesn't brush regularly and another wears too much cologne, but they shall remain private to retain the integrity of our little station's group). What makes things extra exciting is the 6, yes the 6! It too stops at our station providing just a little extra entertainment just before our CL arrives. If you haven't caught a ride here yet, be sure to do soon before the word gets out just how great 2167 is!!

By the middle of the 1970s, Downtown Portland was dying and not expected to survive. It was the…read moreera of the great migration to the suburbs, and many of the downtown department stores had already moved to the malls. Nordstrom had plans in place to move out of downtown permanently and it would have surprised no one had Meier & Frank followed suit. Like my dad used to say, one could have fired a cannon down the middle of Broadway and not hit a living soul. Downtown workers fled by 5 pm and never stayed late because the area was pretty much "owned" at night by a dangerous element. On the weekends, everybody shopped at the malls and never came down just to hang out and enjoy. All in all, a very bleak outlook for our patient, Portland. The Portland Transit Mall pretty much saved Portland from going the way of so many other cities at the time - a long slow death march into urban hell. Nordstrom also agreed to build their flagship store in downtown Portland at this time. All of this revitalized Portland and has helped bring it to a place of prominence nationally that most Portlanders knew it deserved (there was a time that only San Francisco and Seattle were ever mentioned in the national media; Portland was considered the quaint country cousin). Sorry for the history lesson from this long-time Portland citizen, but I think it's interesting to compare and contrast and see how Portland has become a leader in transportation options. Considering it's a government-backed project, the Portland Transit Mall surprisingly came together in the mid-1970s without too much controversy and has continued to serve so many of us via bus, street car, and MAX in the tri-country area pretty efficiently and with some great updates over the years. Considering how large the system has become, there's so much that could go wrong (which on occasion it does), but there's so much more that goes right and attracts visitors and dollars to our fair city. I say Hail to the Portland Transit Mall.

Yeah, sometimes there's a bit of a wait for a bus, and they aren't always on time, but it still beats the heck out of driving.
