A lot like 70’s era Dogtown, if you try to drop in on one of Portland’s Central Eastside bike lanes, the locals will throw kale at you… Errr.. Yeah, sorry. That’s all I got. I didn’t even know Portland had a “Central Eastside” district, but I’m obviously not upwardly mobile so that might explain it. The Central Eastside Industrial Council “is a business association focused solely on the Central Eastside Industrial District’s economic success, vitality, and livability.” CEIC includes Burnside and as such, they are not shy of including Burnside and skateboard graphics in their marketing materials.
– Thanks to Chad Balcom for the tip.
Below: The front page of the web site with a video that uses some footage shot at Burnside for cut scenes.
Burnside makes a couple of very brief appearances in this video on their front page.
UPDATE: Here’s a photo from their Instagram feed showing a skateboard decorating the side of a Tri-Met light rail train.
