Cartopia


Cartopia is a food cart pod located on the corner of SE 12th Avenue and Hawthorne Boulevard in Southeast Portland, Oregon.

Description and history

The Cartopia food pod was established in 2008 or 2009. Thrillist says, "Cartopia is exactly as it sounds: a mecca of food trucks and foodies alike, all looking for the one that's going to do them in." The pod has picnic tables, fire pits, and string lights.
The site was slated for redevelopment, after Vic Remmers submitted plans to construct an apartment building. Instead, the landlord offered two-year lease renewals.
