Pamplin Media Group - Opinion: Downtown Portland dies only if we do nothing to stop it

March 03 2021
Jessie Burke is with the Old Town Community Association's business committee. She also owns The Society Hotel in Portland's Old Town.
I recently read three articles about the state of downtown Portland — one concerned ("Death of a City: The Portland Story?" Jan. 28, Forbes Magazine) and two seemingly mocking the first ("Portland is the new Pompeii, according to Forbes," Jan. 30, Willamette Week) and ("Crying Wolf: If Portland tourism dies, you can thank downtown business interests and the police," Feb. 1, Portland Mercury).
I have been a Portland small-business owner for more than a decade, and have lived in Portland for almost 20 years. I am a woman, a minority (Chinese), a mother of three, and a former social worker. I started in the Kenton neighborhood with a small coffee shop and bakery, and five years ago I opened The Society Hotel in Old Town.
