Not far from Hawthorne is Reed College, whose campus expands from Woodstock Boulevard to Steele Street, and from 28th to 39th Avenues.
Other neighborhoods in Southeast Portland include Brentwood-Darlington, Foster-Powell, and Mt. Scott-Arleta.[1][2]
Southeast Portland also features Mt. Tabor, a cinder cone volcano that has become one of Portland's more scenic and popular parks.

History
[edit]Southeast Portland has blue-collar roots and has evolved to encompass a wide mix of backgrounds. The Hawthorne district in particular is known for its hippie/radical crowd and small subculturally oriented shops.
Between the 1920s and the 1960s, Southeast was home to Lambert Gardens.
