commercial street

This is a nice little street and area to explore when visiting Portola. There are several shops and a few restaurants. It's also near the railroad museum. It's a nice bit of history and very clean and friendly.

I've been to Portola a few times and this part of town has what you need. Somewhere to stay (Pullman House - I haven't yet though), dine-in/take-out pizza (Pizza Factory) and 'made while you wait' sandwiches (Red and White), and just round the corner is (well, it was when I was there) a laundromat. There are other places to eat on the street which I look forward to getting to on my next trip.

It is worth a stop if you are in this area. The stores and Pizza Factory work very hard to provide goods and services. We found the people helpful, the food good. The selections were limited. Would go here if in the area again. It is close to the Railroad Museum which is a must see when in Portola.
