Test Your Portland IQ
Can you name all of the streets in Northwest Portland's Alphabet District? Neither could the Portland Monthly staff.
THIS MONTH, in honor of our annual schools feature, we handed the whole Portland Monthly staff and interns a pop quiz. Overall, we did...OK.
One seemingly harmless exercise produced some especially perplexing answers: listing the correct names to the streets in the so-called Alphabet District. We combined our favorite wrong answers into a map of Northwest Portland never before seen, until now.
Think you can do better?
