​In a few minutes we'll be in the Old North End, also once known as Whitechapel, like the infamous neighborhood, in London England.

"Portland's Skid Row has transformed into Old Town, and the old north end, where the byword is coexistence," 

"Among the area's elite, are slummers, and the bereft, where the trend is toward tidying up."

Remember, the byword, is coexistence.

"The neighborhood once known as Portland's Skid Road is changing," The Oregonian wrote in 1994. "Once a crime-ridden enclave for the down-and-out, the Old Town/Chinatown community has become the rarest of neighborhoods -- a place where  people of all  backgrounds have learned to live and work together."

They say, that the Old Town Chinatown district is now on an upswing, and the rehabbed buildings are examples of the change. But in reality, it's more about a story, similar to that Queen song, Another One Bites The Dust, with the renowned restaurant Ping, and the Moovel company, recently departing. Notable exceptions, like the Society Hotel, and the Hoxton Hotel, are still hanging on.

Let's go take a look.

Our next stop, Erickson's Saloon.

With NOT that many more.

Does anyone have any questions?
