Tucked away in the northwestern frontier, Portland offered all the
best vices: opium dreams, gambling, cheap prostitutes, and drunken
brawling. In its early days, Portland was a "combination
rough-and-ready logging camp and gritty, hard-punching deep-water
port town," and as a young city (established in the late 1840s) it
developed an international reputation for lawlessness and violence.
In the early 1900s, the British and French governments filed formal
complaints about Portland to the US state department, and
Congressional testimony from the time cites Portland as the worst
place in the world for crimping. Today, tours of the alleged
Shanghai Tunnels offer Portland visitors a taste of that seedy
past.
