Portland, OR HyperLocal City Guide featuring Neighborhoods, Zip Codes and Yellow Pages.

Well, you’ve come to the city that did promise you a rose garden, specifically the International Rose Test Garden (IRT), plus other rose gardens, too. Nearby the IRT, the Japanese Garden and Classical Chinese Garden round out a trio of horticultural sights. When the petals fall off your roses, head on over to catch a Portland Trail Blazers game at – you guess it – the Rose Garden. (Yes, the city is rose happy, but that’s all right with us.) Some famous people who lived in Portland include Mel Blanc, The Kingsmen, Linus Pauling, Mark Rothko. Anybody remember those influential guys?
