  • Swan Island, Tsarevna wrote 17 years ago:
    Swan Island was the site of Portland's first airport. Being an island, however, limited the amount of runway expansion. Soon after it was built, plans were already in the works for today's Portland International Airport, which is NE of Swan Island on the banks of the Columbia River. Charles Lindberg landed at the airport in 1927 to dedicate it, even though it wasn't 100% complete yet. In 1942 the island was converted into a massive shipyard for the construction of Liberty Ships for the war effort. Initially, workers imported from around the U.S. were housed on the island in trailers, before the completion of Vanport City. The site of Swan Island Airport is located at the intersection of North Dolphin Street & North Lagoon Avenue. Not a trace of the airport remains. http://members.tripod.com/airfields_freeman/OR/Airfields_OR_NW.htm

  • Tomahawk Island, Tsarevna (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    In the early 1930's, Tomahawk Island was known as Lotus Isle, after the name of an amusement park situated there. It closed after just a few years of operation, mainly due to competition from Jantzen Beach's amusement park. Some structures, such as the carousel, were sold and moved, others were burned after the bankruptcy. Today Portland maintains a picnic park at the site, and from it you can still see the pilings of the 700' trestle that once took streetcars to Hayden Island, and from there, to Vancouver.

  • The Pearl District, byzinski (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    Zooks is wrong. Sliding scale apartments start out of reach for low-income working people (poor people). That's the whole idea...start the 'sliding scale' at what?...800..900..1000..a month so that low income can not move in. Affordable family apartments? What...single working people do not have a right to live in a livable neighborhood. I should say more like over $1000+ a month.
