The article narrates a journey on TriMet's Bus 30 from Clackamas Town Center to Estacada, highlighting the transition from urban to suburban landscapes. As the bus travels, it passes through industrial parks, modern developments, and historical sites like the Philip Foster Farm. The author reflects on the changes in the area over nearly 25 years, blending personal memories with observations of new housing and the natural greenery that envelops the route, painting a vivid picture of the evolving community outside Portland.
As the bus winds its way out of the parking lot, I stay laid-back. Like Snoop, I'm pleased with myself, though Gin and Juice is replaced with bus travel.
The 30 passes industrial parks and newer homes hidden behind brick walls, marking a change from the far-off countryside to closer, suburban living.
Moss-covered roofs and ivy-sleeved trees create a tunnel of green, and I’m feeling far from the big city as we head towards Estacada.
Passing the Philip Foster Farm, I learn it hosts historical tours, marking a connection with the Oregon Trail and today’s growing exurb of Estacada.
