A century-old Italian bakery perfume drifts above Sellwood’s tree-lined streets, masking stories of roller rink brawls and secret deals that shaped this slice of Portland. This self-guided audio tour takes you deep into the heart of Sellwood, guiding you through beloved landmarks like Sebastiano’s, Reverend’s BBQ, and the vibrant Oaks Park. Hear the whispers and witness the ordinary places where extraordinary events once unfolded.

Why did a roller-skating championship nearly end in scandal at Oaks Park? What shadowy deal took place behind Sebastiano’s doors late one autumn night? Can the secret recipe at Reverend’s spark a small-town rivalry that lingers today?

Move through lively avenues and quiet corners. Listen as old stories spark to life beside bustling cafés and timeless rides. This is drama in motion, a hidden city revealed step by step.
