Last Thursday on Alberta

Last Thursday has been picking up popularity since this summer when there were so many pedestrians walking the streets that they petitioned to make trimet buses take a different route and keep cars from driving down the street. This open-art-gallery event is more like a block party, with street performers, barbequed corn on the cob, and fire-juggling acrobatic dancers. If you’re looking for a quiet casual evening, you’re better off moseying around the pearl district on first Thursday, because last Thursday crams all the action into one happening street where the crowds are unavoidable and the vibe is celebration.
