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.

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.

My husband was asked to bring his classic muscle car to be featured in an exhibit at the Oregon…read moreAuto Show this year. He was excited, but a little apprehensive to leave his now fully restored car (he purchased in high school over 30 years ago) overnight. Also the damage waiver paperwork didn't ease his fears. After speaking with the lead guy putting the exhibit together, he felt more comfortable. We've brought his cars to numerous car shows in the area over the years, but never overnight. Driving the car from the loading dock area behind the convention center into the showroom was simple. Everyone helping to set up the show was nice and helpful with any questions we had. They checked the gas tank levels before entering the building to ensure cars had less than a quarter tank, as a safety feature. They do require you give them a spare key, in case of emergencies. Overall everything went smoothly. We can't pick the car up until late Sunday night. Hopefully all goes well. If not, I'll update my review with more details. At this point I would recommend participating in an exhibit at this venue. It seems very organized and well planned out.

This historic church in Southwest Portland is a darling venue for a concert. My dad and I attended…read morea candlelight strings tribute concert and we were impressed, to say the least. 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.

It was also so fun to see people dressing up in their Victorian best for the theme. I absolutely recommend!

The space itself is a beautiful blank canvas - warm & with a vintage feel - & is divided into three areas that flow seamlessly. We had our ceremony (60 guests) in the sunken living room, cocktail hour in the bar area, dinner in the back room, then karaoke back in the living room. We used several of the items available at Union Pine (couches, chairs, etc.) & completed the look with outside rentals & floral. I worked with Cassy & several other people for over a year as I planned & they were always responsive & helpful. Union Pine was the only venue for us. I'm so grateful!

One of my favorite secrets about this building is that it has a beautiful outside terrace overlooking the city.

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.
