Convention Center (MAX Station)
The Convention Center station is a light rail station on the MAX Blue, Green and Red lines in Portland, Oregon. It is the ninth stop eastbound on the current Eastside MAX, having not been built when the original line opened.
The station is located on Northeast Holladay Street at its intersection with Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The station primarily serves the Oregon Convention Center. The main entry to that building faces the light rail station. There are also a number of hotels immediately east and also north of the station.
From 2001 to 2012, this station was located within Fareless Square (renamed the Free Rail Zone in 2010), but the free-ride zone was discontinued in September 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word center:
“There is nothing more natural than to consider everything as starting from oneself, chosen as the center of the world; one finds oneself thus capable of condemning the world without even wanting to hear its deceitful chatter.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
