   EDITOR REVIEW:

This public square is affectionately referred to as Portland's "living room," thanks to its popularity as a gathering place and as a site for public festivals and events. In past years, the site was occupied by a school, a hotel, and a parking garage. Not until 1974 did the city obtain the land and create the beautiful space that exists today. Open since 1984, the square hosts activities year-round, including special outdoor concerts and city celebrations. Much of the funding was through private donations; as a result, you'll see bricks imprinted with the names of donors throughout the space.
