Alberta Street, Portland, Oregon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alberta Street is a thoroughfare in Portland, Oregon, United States, stretching through the North and Northeast sections of the city and crossing Interstate 5.
In the Northeast area, Alberta Street is the heart of an arts, restaurant, and shopping district approximately 20 blocks long. On the last Thursday of every month there is a street fair that takes place in galleries and shops during the winter months, and outdoors during warmer weather, with tables set up by local artisans along the sidewalk. Street performers and food carts also participate in the street fair. The area around Alberta and nearby Mississippi Avenue are becoming very popular with hipsters, bohemians, hippies and other groups associated with the counterculture.[citation needed]
