Synopsis

From the mid-1980s through the 1990s, the elements that would define Portland as a magical city were coming together. Known for its local restaurants and craft beer as well as its national prominence in advertising and athletic wear, Portland invited and embraced creativity in all its forms. In Portland Renaissance, you can revisit a time when Portland became Sneakertown, Beervana, a foodie city, an urban living exemplar, a creative oasis, and a place where anything seemed possible.
