Celebration of Sunnyside

By Karim Alaeddine, March 23, 2024

SUNNYSIDE – A relatively small geographic area in Southeast Portland, surrounding Sunnyside Environmental School. Dense with character, color, flavors, vibes and great people, Sunnyside is an old-school neighborhood where the streets fill up when it’s sunny, gatherings pop up in the parks, 100 person bike rides cruise our streets. I really love it. My family has called this neighborhood home since 2009. Our kids grew up in the school classrooms, on the playgrounds.

Hawthorne to Stark, from the 20s to the 40s… There are only about 200 square blocks that can celebrate themselves as Sunnyside.

Sunnyside Environmental School – As a Sunnyside parent, I have endless gratitude for the teachers and staff at SES. They are advocates, friends, guidance counselors and some of the most inspired and committed people I’ve known.

Powell’s Books and the other Hawthorne shops have been on our weekly circuit for 15 years.

Restaurants: Indian & Lebanese bites, killer pizza & fried egg sandos, Turkish coffee & acai bowls. All the goodies…
