A while ago I had a chance to go to an event called Last Thursday in the Alberta Arts District which is held in the last Thursday of every month. Duh. This event is mostly a summer thing ending with it's last street closure event on September. Last Thursdays have came a long way since it started a some years ago. When I first attended Last Thursday back in 2005, it was only a handful of art and craft vendors and only stretching about 2 blocks in Alberta. Now the streets are closed off and has grown well over 10 blocks filled with food truck, arts, craft, food, thrift vendors and musicians on every block. I think it's a good experience to go here and enjoy the culture in Portland. But be careful, when it gets dark the scene turns into a night club with crowds of people dancing to either rap or electronic music. Next time I would only enjoy going here when there the light is still out. Overall though, I enjoy the city so I find Last Thursdays very interesting.
Some dude dancing for world peace.
Compost tea anyone?
