Portland Site Launched

A new site meant to bring information about Portland, Oregon to those who seek it was announced this week. The site is called Portland Neighborhood and will feature information about Portland`s neighborhoods, and will even include a Portland Blog. The site was designed to share the strong sense of community in Portland.

?We wanted to deliver the look and feel of Portland?s unique neighborhoods,? says Lorri Ely, site developer and Portland local, ?Portland is a very special town with many neighborhoods, and local pride runs deep. We wanted to create a community resource for local Portland residents, and for those who want to move here.? The Web site has only been in existence for several months, but is already garnering positive feedback from locals and new Portland residents who view the site as a helpful resource.

The neighborhood profile pages offer descriptions and photos of each neighborhood, links to real estate resources, maps, parks, schools, a community calendar, and featured neighborhood businesses and restaurants. The Portland Blog shares information about popular events throughout Portland?s many neighborhoods. Additional Web site features include a local Portland arts guide, information on local transportation, Portland sports and fitness, and additional resources about living in Portland.
