Shop local. It’s one of those things about Portland that remains true to its core through both good times and bad. But that local retail scene is also an ever changing community of interesting entrepreneurs pursuing their visions. So where do you go to find the latest and great food, drinks, and shopping locations — especially those founded by underrepresented entrepreneurs…? That’s when you need The Actual Portland.
Portland is infamously know for its weird culture…from its food, places, communities, unique style and much more… that coincidently makes so many folks feel proud to call this quirky city their home. But let’s face it, most of what makes Portland, well, Portland…isn’t included in these walking ad tourist resources, and most importantly, it’s underrepresented voices, communities, and businesses that represent the actual portland. So we made this.
The actual portland is a curated hub to find underrepresented businesses, places, news, resources, and other local recommendations made by actual people who live here.
