The Southeast section of Portland, Oregon is known as an industrial hub which is the source of thousands of Portland-area jobs. The area’s history is rooted in the “blue-collar” but has since evolved to include a variety of life. People from any number of backgrounds make Portland’s Southeast section home. The Hawthorne district of Southeast Portland, in particular, is known to attract a “hippie/radical crowd” and boasts several tiny shops that are “subculturally-oriented.” Also found in the section is the famed Mt.
