The
Hollywood District (originally
Hollyrood, after the Scottish
Holyrood) is a neighborhood of northeast
Portland, Oregon, United States renamed for its historic 1920s-era
Hollywood Theatre. Although a mixed commercial and residential area, it serves primarily as a shopping district to the adjacent neighborhoods of
Grant Park and
Laurelhurst, as well as to riders of the
MAX Light Rail System. The Hollywood District also figures in
Beverly Cleary's Klickitat Street series of books, a fact memorialized in a display at the
Hollywood Library, which also provides a Beverly Cleary walking tour. The first
Pedestrian crossing light in Oregon was installed in the Hollwood District, across the street from the Hollywood theater.
