Portland, Oregon, At Night
This video provides coverage of Portland’s downtown freeways, as well as the Hawthorne Bridge, into the heart of Downtown.
No overturned police cruisers? No torched federal buildings? No violent mobs? This ain't Portland, this is Vancouver, BC, standing in for Portland.
Road trips are so therapeutic to me
Portland is wonderful. I live in Central Oregon, and every time I visit, it's like coming up for air after being underwater for too long.
7th Anniversary Of This Video!
I love living in Portland it's beautiful and fun and the people are very different here
Hey, Freeway Brent, alway love this vid, how about making one US 101,on the Oregon Coast,
Did you hit up any strip clubs along the way?
damn! the limit is 50? does anyone actually go that slow?
One of the first places I wanna go when I go West from Georgia =<
Portland rocks!
Did you do it? could you please link here if so thanks.
The vibe is perfect when driving at night. Lots of arches, hills, twists, turns, and infrastructure. So pretty
I've jogged on that bridge at the end of the video
love the fremont bridge and the I-5 bridge
@am17ac I assume you mean Milwaukee, Wisconsin?
i miss oregon i miss going to lloyed center mall!!!!
ahh… makes me feel like I'm back home… just a little bit. Didn't know i was so home sick that seeing night driving on the freeway would make me so oddly happy. >.<
why'd I move to Florida again? Insanity I think.
awesome stuff dude, i like the little bits of info you include on the bottom of the vid on these
@IsoscelesKramer thats so cool how they have that sign!!
@igerould: I was thinking about doing just that, but I don't think my camcorder would have been able to capture as much of the downtown skyline, had I filmed the loop in the opposite direction. Oh well, not to worry. I'll be back up there in a month or two, to film the entire freeway network (as well as numerous streets, for an upcoming street tour).
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great song and great concept. Almost has a movie feel ๐
I've never seen Portland before. I love your nighttime freeway driving video. Thank you and I look forward to watching more of them.
@FreewayBrent How does it compare to Seattle?
Yeah, Portland is an awesome city, almost like a cleaner and less-expensive San Francisco.
LMAO! Weird, I've been on that bridge, dozens of times, and never noticed that until now. It's probably been there for years.
Yeah, Deadmau5 and Kaskade always seem to come up with some ridiculously catchy songs. I think they're the best DJ tandem out there today!
damn this song and its insane catchyness. You've ruined me Brent!
That is indeed a great tune, I used the instrumental version in one of my videos.
Great production despite the tough lighting conditions (nothing you can do about that) and a PERFECT song choice for the footage IMO.
I just noticed the "Smile" sign on the left at 3:01 – cute!
cool vid
Hey, thanks!
Honestly, Tucson and Portland have very little in common. Think of Portland as a cleaner, greener and more tree-shaded version of San Francisco, with a well-established sense of walkable, intimate neighborhoods and districts, all very lively and full of street life.
Not to mention that the Portland metro has over 2 million people, while Tucson is just touching the 1 million mark, if I'm not mistaken?
Yeah, it's definitely one of the most convenient downtown loops that I've ever driven!
It's not a large city, but it's a VERY popular tourist destination, and indeed, a lot of east-to-west traffic is often headed for The Dalles, so in the larger scheme of things, it makes sense.
Personally, I'd like to see Boise and The Dalles included on all signs, leading out of Portland.
