“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.

Event preparations
Tommorow is the Cinco de Mayo Run and Walk. Today the Square has to be setup to prepare for the runners and walkers who start arriving at 6:30am on Sunday. The setup crew has to put up the tents and tables for registration, vendors and comfort stations. It’s a job that requires a lot of planning and hard work. I thought my readers would like see the preparations that go into preparing the Square for the big event. Thanks for all the hard work guys. Umbrella Man got into the action along with everyone else. There is no limit to his dedication to the success of the events held on the Square.
