“Square People” covers Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland, Oregon. It’s known as “the city's living room.” Over two hundred light rail trains stop at the square each day. They come from east, west, north and south, bringing thousands of people to the square. Hundreds of events are held there each year. This photoblog profiles the people and events on the square.

Sunday morning snack
When I spoke to these young ladies, I found out they were visiting from Seattle. They were enjoying a snack at the square. After talking to them, I started thinking about how I would rather be in Seattle, waiting outside Safeco Field for the gates to open for today’s game with Boston. Then reality set in. I hate the Boston Red Sox and the Mariner's are playing like a minor league ball club. After careful consideration, I decided I was better off sitting in Pioneer Courthouse Square, for free. I just saved $100.00 by avoiding that game. (Opps, checking the score of the game on Monday, I see the Mariners pulled out a 4-2 victory. Maybe it would have been worth it after all.)
