Downtown Portland! Recommend taking a walk along the waterfront; great views!

Cool sign to check out. Beware homeless people everywhere, and shooting up. Had to go to the forest just to get away from the bums...

First-time customer alert !!
- Nice tourist attraction but would not recommend going.
- There is a lot of homelessness around there, and that doesn't make it a pleasant experience.
- We went in the daytime and just viewed from afar.
- Would be nice to see this at night, but it might not be as great.

I love how Portland is so proud. This sign is in a great location alongside the river walk. You can also bike in this area, which is very flat and a great view!

Great place to see the river. Better to the cherry blossoms and bright blue sky. Happy spring.

Amazing landmark! I told my husband I have to see this in Portland. It’s so iconic! We just relocated in 2023 and to experience this in person was truly amazing. We went in the evening/night. Yes, this is Portland Old Town! Great photo op and landmark to experience! I also attached pics from the river close by, Bridge, and other landmarks!!

the best place to view the white Stagg sign is on the westbound side of the Burnside bridge in.

there are all sorts of viewing vantage points from the Burnside bridge but you can also have an obstructed view of the sign from down below on naito.

Nice sign of Portland on the top of this building. However, it is easy to miss as you can only see it either while driving into oldtown area from the bridge or walking by the bridge. Otherwise, the sign is covered by the trees. Also, this are is in general quite sketchy, with homeless people, tents and everything in general very sketchy. The sing itself must be much better at night when lit up. Don't miss the old town mill sign to right by it a bit behind.
