According to our blog, it's been over a decade since we sketched at the South Waterfront. And I suspect that a few things have changed since then.

There are nice bright shiny new buildings, and not so shiny old ones. A river walk (with possible dragonboat sightings), the Ross Island Bridge, the aerial tram, and the Gibbs Street pedestrian bridge. There'll even be a street party that afternoon, with food trucks.
The NS streetcar stops at the corner of Elizabeth Caruthers Park (3508 S Moody Ave), as do the southbound 35 and 40 buses. (The northbound buses stop a block away, on Macadam.) The transit hub at the west end of the Tilikum Bridge is about a third of a mile to the north. There's on-street parking, and at least one of the parking garages in the OHSU buildings is open on Saturdays.
- 10am: Meet at the north end of Elizabeth Caruthers Park (if dry) or under the awnings of the OSHU building to the immediate north of the park (if wet).
- Go forth and sketch
- Noon: Meet again at the starting point for an optional throw-down
