I keep making things about Portland that need somewhere to belong. A question about a boundary. A public record that raises another question. Something nearby that would be easier to find on a map.

The Portland Porch gives that work a shared home.

You can [start with Portland’s geography](https://www.theportlandporch.com/explore/), follow [Call Waiting](https://www.theportlandporch.com/projects/call-waiting/), or look at [Portland TRAP](https://www.theportlandporch.com/projects/portland-trap/). The directory also points to useful work made by other people, with credit and sources attached.

Some questions become investigations. Some become small, useful maps. Others stay open because the available evidence does not answer them.

I want a place where those things can keep accumulating, and where you can look around without needing to know anything about GIS first.
