Portland, Oregon - "Elizabethtown" - Movie Locations on Waymarking.com

Orlando Bloom stars as Drew Baylor, a hot-shot sport shoe designer whose life becomes completely unraveled when he loses his father and his job on one fateful day. On his way from Oregon (not California) to Elizabethtown to visit his family for the funeral, Drew meets Claire (Kirsten Dunst). She is pretty, unstoppably positive, and just the person to guide Drew on his journey back home and to teach him what it means to live and love along the way. "Elizabethtown" is "an amazing trip of love, loss and laughter."

The opening scene of a helicopter flying over downtown Portland and past the Fremont Bridge was shot from another helicopter. I did the best that I could to recreate the shot. Take a free bus from downtown Portland to the train station in order to duplicate my photo.

The building in the center of the photo is called "Big Pink." The large helicopter is just to the left. The building to the right with the domed top is called "The Ban Roll-On Building."
