The pod is located near the intersection of 82nd Avenue and the Springwater Corridor in southeast Portland's Brentwood-Darlington neighborhood. Businesses have included Habibi Shawarma and Gyro, Mucho Sabor, Philly Billy, Nacheaux, and Taste of Mongolia.
History
Owner Roger Goldingay opened the pod in 2011. In 2016, he joined a coalition to sue the city and Mayor Charlie Hales in an effort to overturn a law permitting homeless people to camp and sleep on sidewalks. The pod was burglarized in 2016 and 2020. It became known as Springwater Cart Park.
