Portland is a city that prides itself on being different, and this video showcases that in spades. We start our journey with the Witch's Castle, a mysterious stone structure tucked away in the woods of Forest Park. Is it haunted? Is it just an old restroom? The legends surrounding it are as captivating as the structure itself. From there, we delve into the city's underground past with a look at the Shanghai Tunnels, a network of underground pathways that hold secrets of a darker time in Portland's history.
But it's not all eerie and mysterious; Portland also knows how to have fun in the most unique ways. Ever thought you'd find a vegan strip club? Well, Portland has one, and it's as intriguing as it sounds. And let's not forget the 24-Hour Church of Elvis, a coin-operated art gallery that offers a one-of-a-kind experience for fans of the King of Rock 'n' Roll.
Foodies will also find something to love in this city. From Voodoo Doughnut, where you can get married and enjoy a bacon maple bar, to Ota Tofu, the oldest tofu shop in the United States, Portland's culinary scene is as diverse as its attractions. And if you're into literature, prepare to get lost in Powell's City of Books, a bookstore so massive it takes up an entire city block.
We also venture a bit outside the city to explore the Oregon Vortex, a place where the laws of physics seem to take a backseat, offering a mind-bending experience that has to be seen to be believed.
So, whether you're planning a trip to Portland or just love discovering quirky places from the comfort of your home, this video offers a glimpse into the weird and wonderful world that is Portland, Oregon. From its unique eateries and museums to its historical landmarks with a twist, Portland truly is a treasure trove of the unusual, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to experience something out of the ordinary.

I live in Portland so was surprised I had never heard of the "Oregon Vortex". It's actually in southern Oregon, a 4 hour drive away.

I love Powells!!!
Imagine a mall-sized bookstore.
It’s 6 stories tall and has the largest collection of automotive books I’ve ever seen, even if you combined the transportation sections of all the Half Priced Books in DFW!!!

How is something posted three months ago have places that are no longer open. Still a great video but as far as I can tell Elvis is no more. Also Kidd Toy Museum said it was permanently closed

So many great places! Check out the Troll Bridge up Hwy. 30.

Ban the Brick! Remove Donald Trump's brick from Pioneer Courthouse Square. A brick bearing the name of the American traitor does not belong in Portland's living room.

Portland is full of traitors. The city is dying and is a discusting hell hole. Portland deserves nothing.
