The Revamped Southwest Fifth Food Cart Pod Reopens August 20
Briefly

Revitalization of a longstanding food cart pod: The unnamed food cart pod in downtown Portland, which has been serving downtown workers and tourists for over 30 years, is undergoing a revamp and reopening with 20 carts, live music, and seating for 300. This effort aims to breathe new life into the pod and attract more visitors.
Partnerships driving the redevelopment: The redevelopment of the food cart pod is a partnership between financial services app Expensify and restaurant group Chefstable. This collaboration brings together financial backing and culinary expertise to create a refreshed and vibrant hub for food carts, creating opportunities for both existing and new businesses.
Enhanced security and amenities: In response to challenges faced by the pod, including vandalism and an explosion, the revitalized pod offers 24/7 security and a fenced perimeter to improve safety for cart owners. Additionally, there are permanent restrooms, ample seating, live plants, and provisions for colder weather, making the experience more convenient and enjoyable for visitors.
