Neighborhood: Foster/Powell

Foster-Powell Flush on the border of inner and outer Southeast, the triangular Foster-Powell neighborhood (“FoPo”) is bounded by two of the city’s least attractive streets: four-lane Powell Boulevard is often described as a gash. (read more) Foster Road is pretty ugly, too. Compared with more central Southeast ’hoods, FoPo might seem a Bermuda Triangle of rundown homes, furniture stores and zooming traffic. But low home prices have attracted a mix of immigrants—most notably Eastern European—lending FoPo a diversity of people and businesses not seen in other parts of Portland. In FoPo, International Meat & Sausage (4431 SE 64th Ave., 771-7911) plies its smoked Hungarian sausage a couple of blocks from An Xuyen Bakery’s (5345 SE Foster Road, 788-0866, anxuyenbakery.com) $2.50 banh mi sandwiches. The neighborhood’s charm is its lack of pretension: Instead of precious coffee shops you’ll find a brace of strip clubs, anchored by the punk rock-themed Devil’s Point (5305 SE Foster Road, 774-4513, devilspointbar.com). Laurelwood Park is an unexpected bit of greenery playing town square to FoPo’s unofficial main street at Southeast 64th Avenue and Foster Road. The stores on this block are a weird mix of the banal (a darts specialty store) and the offbeat (Guapo Comics and Coffee, 6350 SE Foster Road, 772-3638, guapocomicsandbooks.com). A good metaphor for the neighborhood itself. —Adrian Chen
