---+++ Portland
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland,_Oregon][Portland]] is a city located in northwestern part of United States, in the state of Oregon.
Portland, with city population of around 582,130 and metropolitan area population of around 2.2 million, is Oregon's most populous city.
The city is well known for its environmental friendliness, nice parks, botanic gardens and museums. It is also a great place to dine, with its excellent restaurants and over 25 excellent microbreweries. Portland's Marine west coast climate makes it an ideal place to grow roses, so much so that it has been known as the "City of Roses" that has many rose gardens. Also, Portland's close proximity to beautiful sceneries including Mount Hood, Columbia River, and Multnomah Falls makes it a great place to tour.
