Hosford-Abernethy is kind of nuts. Most of Southeast Portland is a grid, but things go a little haywire here. First of all, there’s Clinton Street, a bike corridor at times, a host for the train sometimes, and sometimes it’s actually 10th. Then there’s Ladd’s Addition, a square of streets that decide to all go diagonal from the grid and center around multiple central “roundabouts” that are little parks in their own right. It’s beautiful. It’s funky and full of rose gardens, stately houses, and grungy bars.
