Neighborhood: Sellwood-Moreland and Brooklyn

Portland’s southernmost neighborhoods, Sellwood-Moreland and Brooklyn were born of transportation. (read more) Originally built to support the Southern Pacific Railroad, Brooklyn is quietly residential today. (The train yard bisecting the neighborhood at Southeast Holgate Boulevard is a reminder of its bustling past and home to an original 1905 steam locomotive.) And the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood was once the far-flung town of Sellwood before the nation’s first interurban railway brought it under Portland’s sway in the 1890s. Sellwood-Moreland retains a quaint, small-town feel left over from this early isolation. The neighborhood certainly promotes itself as a destination for nostalgia junkies: Its main drag, Southeast 13th Avenue, is lined with antique stores. The weirdest is the Raven (7927 SE 13th Ave., 233-8075), specializing in military relics. Aside from its thriving business district, Sellwood-Moreland’s biggest attractions are the nearby Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge and Oaks Amusement Park (7805 SE Oaks Park Way, 233-5777, oakspark.com). The former is a swampy birdwatching paradise, the latter a moderately cheesy amusement park from which the screams of children wafts into the neighborhood above every summer. Presiding over both is the massive, elaborately muraled Wilhelm’s Portland Memorial mausoleum and funeral home (6705 SE 14th Ave., 236-4141, wilhelmportlandmemorial.com), the lone creepy feature of what is otherwise one of Portland’s most wholesome neighborhoods. —Adrian Chen

Great rotation of beers on tap. Always plenty of choices for hop heads. Since the above article was written the Rudder has installed a pizza oven. The personal pizza and a pint is one of the best meals in Sellwood!
