Portland Tourist Traps Every Local Should See

Part of the fun of going to a new city is experiencing it all for the first time and learning about the place you’re visiting. You might check out some things that wouldn’t interest you back home (and you might feel a little silly doing it). But what if you brought that same tourist energy to rediscover Portland? 

Today on City Cast Portland, host Claudia Meza is joined by Eden Dawn, author of “The Portland Book of Dates” and co-host of the “We Can’t Print This” podcast, and our very own lead producer, John Notarianni. We’ll look at our city through a newcomer’s gaze for the final episode of our Summer Entertainment Guide.
