There is a funny part of our southeast Portland neighborhood called Ladd's Addition, where the streets run diagonally into a center turnabout, instead of the grid pattern like most of Portland's streets. It is an awesome historic part of Portland (if you want to know more about it, click
here.) Before I understood the layout, more than once I found myself stuck on a longer walk than I wanted.
If you're prepared for a long walk down it's long shady streets, it's worth the trek. There are many beautiful old houses and several rose gardens. Daniel and I took a walk to get a newspaper this morning (for the coupons, not the news, although "Extreme Couponing" is threatening to ruin the coupon fun altogether). Technically, we didn't
have to walk through Ladd's to attain a newspaper, but we couldn't resist the chance to take a few pictures.
