Thanks for mentioning this. The tour I went on focused mostly on the history of Chinese immigrants in Portland and didn’t delve into Old Town’s equally important Japanese roots.

I’d love to know more about this aspect of Old Town’s history. If you have a chance, email me at nathalie.weinstein@djcorprod.wpengine.com and we can find some time to talk.

With the effort put into this article – why do it?

A Perspective.
