Easily one of the most walkable parts of Portland, the Beaumont-Wilshire ’hood offers a main convenience of living in this city—you don’t have to drive to the supermarket to pick up a quart of milk. (read more) Even a rainy early spring afternoon can’t keep folks from walking down the street, stopping off at Jim & Patty’s Coffee (4951 NE Fremont St., 284-2121) for a French-pressed mugful and a delectable slice of sour cream coffee cake, or dropping in for a quick snack from Bagel Land (4118 NE Fremont St., 249-2848). For practical household needs, there’s Beaumont Market (4130 NE Fremont St., 284-3032), which blurs the line between corner store and specialty grocer, and Beaumont Hardware (4303 NE Fremont St., 281-4406), a friendly neighborhood institution straight out of Leave It to Beaver. Fremont offers a nice stroll on a warm summer day, with sites both old (the vintage and worn Coca-Cola mural painted next to McPeets Pub [4501 NE Fremont St., 287-0625]) and new (the weird sculpture outside organic farm-to-table eatery Fife [4440 NE Fremont St., 971-222-3433]). The slightly sleepy surrounding blocks feature modest bungalows and ample front porches with Plexiglas basketball backstops hovering over the streets, allowing for some games of horse after a long day of work. —Michael Mannheimer.
