Morning

Start the day off with a light jog along the Willamette River waterfront. Let the calm surroundings center you for the exciting day ahead. On the way home, pick up a chocolatey and smooth Stumptown Cold Brew Coffee from Jola Cafe. Enjoy a warm breakfast from your light-and-bright kitchen and let the aroma of Zupan’s Markets’ finest ingredients wake up your loved ones upstairs. After a shared meal, grab everyone’s shoes located in the built-in bench next to the front door and take to the streets. The dog you’ve been dreaming of is waiting at Lexi Dog Boutique and Social Club.

Afternoon

With the excitement of the new puppy in-tow, the kids can hardly contain their elation. This calls for a celebratory lunch with grab-and-go picnic items from Elephants Delicatessen. Enjoy getting to know your new, furry friend at Willamette Park. After some obedience lessons — and plenty of snacks from Pet Loft — you can soon venture into the park’s dog off-leash area. On the way up, pick up the specialty cake you had created for the occasion at Finales. It will be perfect to share with grandma and grandpa who live in the separate, private one-level Accessory Dwelling Unit apartment within your new home. After getting home, spend time in the sun playing with the new addition in your fenced, flat backyard.

Evening

Nothing could top off this day any better than the famous fish and chips from Corbett Fish House — cooked in healthy rice bran oil and gluten-free.  After dinner, finish the monumental day with a special bottle of wine purchased around the corner form E&R Wine Shop while enjoying the sunset from your expansive backyard deck.  What will tomorrow bring? Your favorite band is playing the Buffalo Gap — it’s nice to be within walking distance of everything. 

John's Landing neighborhood facts

John's Landing is three miles long and several blocks deep and located in Southwest Portland near the Willamette River and the Sellwood Bridge. Corbett and Macadam Avenues run through the neighborhood. I-5 surrounds the district on one side; Willamette River on the opposite site. The name John’s Landing originated from the B.P. John Furniture company which dominated the area in its industrial past, as well as after architects John W. Storrs and John D. Gray who privately transformed the area into a riverside residential and commercial development. The area used to be known as Fulton.
