Why don't I go to St. Johns more?
First, you have to take this awesome bridge to get there...
Once you're there: hit a $4 flick at the beautiful St. Johns theater
(not to be confused with the McMennamins theater!)
with a before/after drink at SLIMS across the street.
then walk past a bunch of defunct storefronts and barber shop
and get some healthy homestyle grub at PROPER EATS
which also has this cute little co-op in the front:
why not dessert at this funky gelato place?
(...hopefully it will be open next time -
I really liked the looks of this joint!)
....and don't forget to stop inside Pattie's Homeplate Café
just for the sheer insanity of it all.
(note: be prepared to smell like grease when you leave)
more to come on our next visit!Tuesday, January 27, 2009
august: cabbin' it!
ah, sweet home!
(it really is called Sweet Home OR!)
the best place to play cribbage and jump off of cliffs and inner tube
down the santiam river and cook and sleep in front of a fire
and then cook some more and swim and then hike
up to the waterfall and back and then
drink some wine.
september: back to the coast.... astoria!
We were supposed to go camping
with a bunch of folks in the NW tip of WA.
Everyone bailed so we said "fuck it"
and did a last minute trip to Astoria instead.
The vacancy sign was from the shack we stayed at,
but hey - it had a kitchen and a comfy bed.
If you ever go to Astoria - you must eat at the Columbia Cafe
and check out the attached bar. Good thrifting too!
And of course, you can't beat the Oregon Coast.

this is where I live people
I originally embroidered this on a t-shirt....
I'm still not in love with Portland, but I like it an awful lot!
seriously though - I've always thought of Oregon as the "devil horn's" state.
Maybe that's why I've stayed for so long?
