Once upon a time, Portland’s Broadway glowed like a jewel in the night. . .

Nearly every major city has a Broadway and Portland is no exception. In fact, Portland’s Broadway goes North and South and crosses the Broadway Bridge where it also runs East and West, and it connects the Irvington and Lloyd Districts to Downtown.

 

Broadway is probably Portland’s most photographed street. This view is looking north from Main Street.
