Category | Recreation |
Description | Not all of the illicit, naughty, bawdy, corrupt and shady activities happened below street level, but all were underground and hidden. On this walk you'll be exposed to the socially underground and the subterranean underground. This walk is a treat for lovers of all things sinister – crime, scandal and controversial characters – this tour winds through the Old Town and Chinatown, exposing the city’s sordid side. It's a no-holds-barred excursion into the worst Portland has to offer.
After walking the streets for about ¾ of the tour, we’ll hand out the flashlights before we conclude subterranean under Old Town Pizza in an area which once led to the legendary ‘Portland Shanghai Tunnels’ where we'll explore another activity from Portland's scandalous past. If you want to discover the true, inside stories behind crimping (the real name of what is now called shanghaiing), you've come to the right place. Even though shanghaiing is what makes the TV, we'll surprise you with an unscripted commentary of all of the other screwed up and scandalous things that have happened in Portland - both socially underground and physically underground. |
