Pioneer Courthouse Square, Portland, Oregon

-

It was sunny last weekend so, we decided to visit Portland, Oregon, we went to few sightseeing place one among them was Pioneer Courthouse Square, a public open place infront of Pioneer Courthouse - a federal building built in 1875. This square occupies 40,000-square-foot space which opened in 1984.

We went to this place when we parked our car in the Fox Tower garage parking which costs $ 4/hr. and $8/ all day.

Pioneer Courthouse Square is also nicknamed as Portland's Living room. It's a hub perfect for people walking around, sitting and relaxing. There was less crowd and it was mostly people just relaxing on the steps enjoying the outdoors view while wearing masks and maintaining social distancing.

I heard this place hosts a farmer's market every week. Not sure if the tradition still continues during this Covid Pandemic.

Generally many events are held at Pioneer Courthouse Square every year, some are free shows conducted during spring and summer and some sponsored by local businesses but again not sure if they are still conducting during this Covid Pandemic.

As you may know, I enjoy taking time to browse through my photo albums to relive the memories of my past travels. Recently, I came across pictures from my trip to Hershey's Chocolate World of Pennsylvania in 2018, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The trip was filled with excitement and wonder as I explored the world of chocolate and indulged in delicious treats.  Wow & wow! This store is like a dream come true for me! The place is enormous and filled with all kinds of Hershey's candies. They also have 3-D movie and historical Trolley ride which is a must-see. The selection is immense and the atmosphere inside is joyous, colorful, and fun. As soon as I walked in, I started smiling because I love Chocolates, I was so impressed with its history too. The prices for rides or candies were good. As i said before, we can experience all the rides for fun, and the best part is that we will get sample chocolate on all the rides as a compliment.  The "Make Your Own Choco
