Perhaps you see highrise buildings, public fountains, and businesses catering to students at Portland State University. In previous generations, South Portland was a workingman’s haven, a community for Italian and Jewish immigrants, a hangout for hippies, and a center for highrise living. Today, the Keller Fountain and the Portland State University campus define the north boundary of South Portland, while the Ross Island Bridge and the Aerial Tram define its south boarder. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
