Ida Lupino is underappreciated

In April-May I'll be in OR. This will be my third visit since 2021. I know the city reasonably well for a non-Oregonian. I know the highlights and my favorite places (including I'm in camp Blue Star > Voodoo).

I'll be there for two weeks, and I'll visit within the city and outside (yes, I can fill the two weeks, especially with day trips). What are some lesser known things you would recommend to a return visitor?

My interests are (local) history, art, wandering neighborhoods, natural water, non-desert nature. I love seeing places and objects connected with history. I won't rent a car.

I know I'll be at Washington Park, Mt Hood, Forest Park, the historical society museum, the art museum, Multnomah Falls. I may look around for sites associated with Beverly Cleary. I may take in a game, perhaps Sea Dogs, Timbers, or Thorns.

While I know I can fill the two weeks, I really want to take in some new things I may have missed.

And hopefully someday Flock Food Hall will open.
