Every September the Vaux Swifts (migrating birds) roost in the chimney of Chapman School in NW Portland. Each year hundreds of onlookers gather on the lawn of Chapman school, from about an hour before sunset to about a half hour after, to watch the Swifts gather, organize, perform aerial maneuvers, and finally funnel in a black fluttering cloud into the chimney to roost. Very unusual and fun - bring a picnic.

This former elementary school has been converted into a multi-faceted and unique experience. There are several bars (including the Detention Bar and the Honors Bar), a movie theater, a large dining patio, a soaking pool, and live music performances. They offer a number of beers under their own label, as well. The halls are distinctly and cleverly painted by local artists, often referencing the history of the school. The food is the weak link - adequate pub food, but the overall experience is great fun and worth the visit.
