Walking with Ramona

Join Portland walking author Laura Foster on a tour back in time, to the 1950s world of Ramona Quimby and friends. Explore the Northeast Portland landscape that inspired Beverly Cleary's best-selling children's books, from the 1951 Ellen Tebbits to the 1999 Ramona's World. See the supermarket where mud claimed Ramona's boot, the park where Henry hunts for night crawlers, and the Portland school that inspired Glenwood School. Plus lots more, including a stroll along the streets where Ms. Cleary, Ramona and her friends lived.

The tour begins at the Hollywood Library. It is accessible, on flat terrain, and lasts about 1.5 hours. Families are welcome.

Foster is the author of Portland Hill Walks, Portland City Walks and the editor of Metro's Walk There!
