| | Portland’s Multnomah Village |
 | | rom being a stop on Portland’s electric railway line in the early 1900s, Multnomah Village has grown to a lively mix of galleries, eateries, and specialty shops selling everything from windup frogs to Belgian beers. |
 | | Multnomah Days, an annual neighborhood street fair, takes place this year on August 19. |
 | | In the morning, an endearingly corny procession features marching bands, classic cars, clowns, and the hugely popular Tail’s End Pooch Parade, a pack of pet dogs dressed as cowboys, ballerinas, firefighters, and what have you. |
