From the host

The Beaumont-Wilshire neighborhood of Portland, Oregon is located in the city's northeast section, on Alameda Ridge with views of Downtown, the Willamette River, and the Cascades. Majority of the historic homes in the area were built in the early 1900's. There's plenty of restaurants and stores in the area to grab a bite or do some retail therapy.

We are located near the Alberta Arts district, one of the most sought after Portland neighborhoods. Alberta Street, the main drag through that neighborhood, has many newly renovated retail storefronts and restaurant space. These are mixed in with older businesses that have been there forever. The shopping area can now only be considered trendy. There is a strong focus on indie designers, handcrafted items, and boutique shops.

Most of the shops lining Alberta Street highlight handmade local designer clothing, paper mache’ lamps, and imported gifts from afar. Alberta art galleries and shops showcase some fine local work. Smattered throughout are the requisite Portland coffee houses, seemingly one for each counter culture – there are no rules in Portland about having too many coffee shops on one street, and Alberta is no exception. You won’t find a Starbucks on Alberta, though, as it just wouldn’t seem to fit into the quirky individuality of the place.

At first glance, the name “Alberta Arts District” may seem a little overstated when taking into account the number of galleries on the street. But when one discovers that nearly every business – from restaurants and bars to the finest in dress shops, with very little exception – functions as a gallery with a rotating roster of artists represented on their walls, one begins to understand the full nature of this community’s devotion to art. And Last Thursday, as it is simply called, is the designation given to the ever-growing event occurring on the last Thursday of each month when each of these establishments is open late and essentially transformed into the artists’ opening night reception.
