As a hubbub of activity that attracts a hodgepodge of people, there’s plenty to see in the Oregon Arts District: wrought iron fences circa the 1800s, outlandish storefront window displays, astonishing art, street performers who blow trumpets or throw fire, rows of motorcycles. If you missed the latest First Friday bash, don’t know about the Oregon District lion or haven’t seen Dave Hurwitz’s hand-decorated bookmobile, it’s time to peruse our photo gallery and get in the know.
