The women's bathroom also had hygiene supplies which I thought was cool. We rented the Billy Frank Jr. conference room and another room on the second floor, and we were able to customize the space to fit our needs. The space we rented comfortably fit around 60 people. Eco Trust has everything you could need and more. Po'Sines is near, there is a Hot Lips Pizza downstairs, and I would highly recommend this space for your next event.

One of my favorite secrets about this building is that it has a beautiful outside terrace overlooking the city. The rooftop space is open to the public during business hours, which makes for a fun lunchtime getaway. There are chairs and tables available, so the space can fill up quickly on a sunny day. There is no need to purchase food from one of the purveyors to utilize the rooftop space, so go ahead and brown bag-it and head up the stairs to enjoy the backdrop of our beautiful city.

FIVE GREAT BIG STARS for this wonderful neighborhood experience in the Jade District of Portland. I…read moreknow, I know... Jade District is a fancy name for an area that sometimes gets a bad rap. A lot of unsavory things happen on 82nd Avenue, but it truly is improving in recent years. And it's one of the best areas in Portland to get a wide variety of foods and goods from an array of cultures worldwide. Some of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants, Asian bakeries, and gift shops are in this area. The Jade District Market brings together all of the best vendors, restaurants and entertainers in the area, representing an inpressive number of Asian cultures. Located at the Southeast Portland Community College Campus, there was abundant parking in several lots, as well as direct access to the bus line. This event really was a family affair! There were so many vendors selling everything you could think of, as well as community services handing out goodies to the folks in the neighborhood. I bought a bundle of lucky bamboo, some chrysanthemum tea, and some cute locally made pottery. We decided to have Filipino food, prepared by a sweet grandmotherly figure fanning smoke from the grill with bundled banana leaves. The line moved quickly, and I thoroughly enjoyed my Pancit bihon and Lumpia. The entertainment schedule is action-packed, featuring local bands, student choral groups, dancers and more! I loved every minute of the market, and can't wait to visit next year as well! A great big thank you to the sponsors and community members who make this event happen... you are very much appreciated.

Having attended a few corporate shindigs and a wedding reception here, I have seen the transformation come alive in so many different ways. The main floor of the annex is so beautiful during the day time with the natural sunlight (complete with window shades in case it's too much), and the acoustics are perfect for any additional musical entertainment. The staff here is top notch: professional and courteous to inquiring planners and guests alike. It is also remarkably multi-level. There is a downstairs, basement like level for smaller functions as well as the main floor that can be partitioned to whatever flow / layout. The mezzanine level provides a nice view of the room and the high ceilings certainly don't hurt. Another thing worth boasting is the ventilation system, which is crucial whenever there are going to be hundreds of bodies in any single room. Assuming there are no events happening at the Rose Garden, the East/West lots are usually available for people looking to park their cars. There is no street parking for several blocks, so it's important to be aware of this before coming. Anytime I'm invited to the Leftbank Annex, I won't think twice. I definitely plan on being in attendance.

There are buildings you pass... and then there are landmarks that greet you like an old friend…read morerising out of the skyline. The Oregon Convention Center is exactly that a shimmering pair of glass towers that seem to ease their way up, catching light by day and glowing like a beacon by night. When those spires shift colors after sunset, it doesn't just decorate the skyline it defines it. You'll spot it from just about everywhere that matters. Whether you're wandering along Tom McCall Waterfront Park, crossing one of Portland's proud bridges, or looking east from downtown, it calls to you. Nestled beside the Moda Center, it's not just part of the city it's a cornerstone of it. A visual anchor in a town that already knows how to show off. Now, for those of us who like to earn our views, this place hits different. I've got a tradition my own Tour de Bridges. Starting down at the Sellwood Bridge, working my way north, step by step, bridge by bridge, until I reach the Steel Bridge. From there, I swing past the arena, glide toward the Convention Center, loop near the Blumenauer Pedestrian Bridge, then drop back down onto the riverwalk to close out a clean 13.1 miles. Somewhere along that stretch, right as the legs start to feel it and the mind starts bargaining, that's when the Convention Center rises up. And let me tell you... it feels like you've made it. That moment, that's the payoff. The hardest part behind you, the city opening up around you, and those towers standing tall like they've been waiting just for you to arrive. The surrounding square is polished, welcoming, and alive with history anchored along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, a place that invites you to slow down, look around, and take it all in. Portland is a city best explored one bridge at a time, one stretch at a time, one story at a time. And if you're mapping out your own adventure, whether it's a casual stroll, a deep historical dive, or a full-on food and foot tour, this right here is one of the pinnacles. One of those places that reminds you why you started walking in the first place. Five stars, without hesitation.

Inside, they kept the old basketball maple floor but surrounded it with a faux slate porcelain tile in a running bond. The old windows look out, with plants overflowing below inside, house front. They put some thought into the sound system. In some ways the inside design works, but there are flaws. The good, preserving the old walls & windows, reconstructing wall shapes with plaster lath, using colonial banisters. The bad, unnecessarily mixing lighting fixture eras - 60s orbs with art deco and Chinese-made LED car lot string bulbs - are you serious? It is a good beauty spot to rent for your event. It's upstairs, so check on alter-able access.

We arrived as early as was recommended and found parking to be easy and affordable in the adjacent lot. There is also street parking. There are restaurants in the vicinity too, so make a night of it! We were in attendance on a fairly warm evening but the AC in the building kept up and kept temperatures comfortable. The bathrooms are downstairs, but the building has ramps and an elevator to accommodate wheelchair and mobility needs. When choosing a seat section online, I wasn't sure what to expect. Fortunately, there wasn't a bad seat in the house. The seats to the side are only a bit to the side. There are maybe 12 rows in the whole place, so even in the back, you can see and hear well. There were snacks and drinks available for purchase, and also a place to fill water bottles if you brought your own. The church pews aren't the most comfortable to sit on, but they are cushioned and manageable. We really enjoyed the experience at the Old Church and would not hesitate to go back or recommend it to anyone.
