It’s one of the trashiest cities now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Portland a model town. lmao like homeless everywhere and crime looting.
“One of the worlds most desirable places.” HAHA CAP
Very interesting! Curious to know when this was filmed?
Portland is hip hop human trafficking culture and unnatural selection anti god antichrist trash city
My wife and i did the Pendleton underground tour and want to see the Shanghai tunnels.
We had a bar keep so Olive garden in Eugene tell us about it. Word had it they got more money for native Americans(due to being stronger) they accidently bought a wooden man. Haha
Oregon knows not how to govern,and mis-trust those that do.
There were freight tunnels from the waterfront up to merchants like Portlands own Meier and Frank. Many buildings have sub-basements that interconnect to other building on the same block. There were also River pirates on Islands in the Columbia and the Willamette.
hashahahahahahahah i got onlys mins in lol…portland…safe …model.lololoplololol
Okay.
I’m sorry but when was this filmed? Portland hasn’t been desirable, clean or safe in quite a few years and continues to get worse. It seems the seediness of Portlands past has risen to the surface. So sad because I loved going there…
By clean safe and progressive do you mean filthy dangerous and undesirable?
Looks like what use to be done hidden and out of the way, underground in Portland is now done up on the surface, lol.
Shanghaiers sold $50 a man, that would be $5000 a man, now, going by past and present gold prices
Portland is still a politically corrupt drug infested, rampant homelessness cesspool!
Is thus about history or politics? I cant tell by the comments.
So interesting
as someone who works in the hospo industry in pdx now, I’m so glad our store rooms are getting the regonition they deserve. LMAO
its deff not a desired place amymore. nor was it when this was released in early 2023
Lmao Portland is still all of those things
I’m not sure when this documentary was filmed, but Portland is now a homeless drug fueled and crime infested dump. I pick up garbage downtown in the middle of the night so I have seen it all…
Portland is a pit above ground as well as below.
They are called Shanghai tunnels
“clean, safe, progressive” yeah that didnt age well
My dad spent time, in the 50’s, as a reserve officer for Portland and the county. He was also the ranking head of security of Burlington Northern. He told me the story several times of a tunnel from the top of the west hills down to the NW railroad yards. The river bank had changed over the years. Just prior to his death, he insisted it was still there. I never saw it.
Dont leave out Salem Oregon. I think its slightly creepier!
That’s the flashlight you take down??!? Hahahah
Seems like they just brought the underworld up to street level
Portland is called the “City of Roses” and now I realize it was probably named that after “Rose” the bootleg/brothel queen of PDX 😅
I was at a concert about twenty years ago. I went to find the restroom and kept going down. Before I knew it, I found my way into a section of these tunnels. Was a very interesting night.
Portland is not a clean “model” city…wtf are you talking about?🙄
This is either a very old video or someone paid this guy a lot of money… It is still vice full and our opium dens are in the street
Love how this documentary tries to act like drugs and sextrafficking doesnt still happen in these tunnels…
Why would the tunnels be maintained, lit up, and ventialated to this day and locked up with special access keys if it wasnt still being used
This program did not age wefll.
Pretty much the same thing now going on there.…
You lost me at “today it’s one of America’s most desirable places.”
Not too many people feel that way anymore.
