What should OPB know about East Portland?

If you live in East Portland, then you know that your part of city is rich in diversity, but also faces unique challenges. OPB would like to feature some of the people, places and businesses that make up the community. What stories should we know about? What is your neighborhood like? Are there services that you're missing out on that you see in other parts of the city?

What should we know about current challenges or successes in your community? Who are the most interesting people in your area?

Our daily talk show Think Out Loud is planning to feature East Portland for our Our Town program, and we're also building a web series featuring voices from the community.

Whatever the story, OPB would like to hear from you. Feel free to send us a photo that features your East Portland, too.
