Saint John'S. Portland.

Not a touristy or commonly visited area of Portland, St John's has everything for a local person to strive for. Quiet neighborhoods are spread throughout the area with beautiful gardens. Watch out when you are biking, because many of the side roads become rocky and unpaved. There are many excellent views of the Willamette River on Willamette Boulevard, which is a superb bike ride. Cathedral Park and the St John's bridge are great hang out spots. You can picnic and watch people throw sticks in the water and have their dogs chase them! If you're hungry, there are plenty of cheap, local Mexican fast food stands.
