1985 NEWS SPECIAL: Northeast Portland’s Drug War | This Is My Neighborhood ©

August 1, 2025 3768 Views

Originally aired in 1985, this special (This Is My Neighborhood) takes viewers to the front lines of Northeast Portland, where residents—fed up with open-air drug dealing and street prostitution—organize to take back their streets. This program captures the frustration, fear, and resolve of a neighborhood under siege. Residents share how their once-proud community has been shaken by crack cocaine, heroin, and the sex trade—and how local law enforcement’s slow response has forced citizens to take matters into their own hands.
