You made me remember something I meant to say earlier: The pilings are literally "for the birds."<br /><br />You're so smart!!Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893913257553092577.post-71125412148661178862009-08-28T08:21:53.119-07:002009-08-28T08:21:53.119-07:00Don't remember if I saw what had been there.

The last time there I saw some way out in the water, but wasn't able to find out where they came from.<br /><br />Of course, most of ours are there because whatever stood upon them was blown away by hurricanes!<br /><br />Love this view and everything about it. What a great town where the population stays relatively static. Life, I would guess, can be lived at a more leisurely pace with more time to stop and look at the pilings!Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893913257553092577.post-11603772712357711472009-08-27T14:56:08.428-07:002009-08-27T14:56:08.428-07:00Tacoma's waterfront still has a number of it&#...Tacoma's waterfront still has a number of it's old pilings too.
