Vanport_City (FeatureServer)

Service Description: VANPORT CITY encapsulated the America of its time, a time of returning optimism following the depression of the 1930s. Though Vanport was thought of as temporary and transitory, the miracle may have been that it worked at all. Yet work it did, in a robust, galvanic manner, full of a buoyant faith in America, a faith in stark contrast to the doubts and hesitations of today. It died as it had lived - quickly and dynamically - but not without its contributions to the future. Now, as a Portland public park area, nothing of Vanport remains to remind the new generations growing to maturity that Oregon's second largest city was once located there. To those who knew Vanport, it is only on the occasional days when the race cars thunder along what was once Cottonwood Street in the heart of the black district that the real spirit of Vanport City seems to come alive - vibrant, bruising, pulsating (from "Vanport" by Manly Maben).
