Getting Trashy in Astoria
Astoria dressed up their trash cans a year ago to look like old cannery labels. Love this!

Graveyard of the Pacific
The beach is full of treasures and sometimes full of sorrows. These bones were discovered at the South Jetty. Another set of smaller bones was not too far away.

River Commerce
River commerce is a part of life here on the shores of the Columbia. There is beauty in watching barges thread their way along the river channel.

Where Justice is Served
This is the Clatsop County Courthouse and according to the State's archives, the Courthouse in Astoria was completed in 1908 after several years of delays. It's an impressive historical building that anchors the west end of downtown.

Old Homes
Astoria has an eclectic collection of historic homes that I never get tired of viewing. Some are grand old ladies and others are a patchwork of various architectural eras.

Alley oops!
Downtown Astoria ~ February 2013
I love this little alley and have visions of seeing it painted fun colors or perhaps create a tiny garden walkway from Commercial to Duane. The fun of daydreaming is to see where it goes!

Slice of life -- commercial fishing
Guest Blog by Elizabeth McMaster, F/V Lady Laura
The crew of the F/V TNT offload a lively bunch of Dungeness Crab bound for the global live markets. Their catch arrives at the dock ready for a ride by truck to Seattle, WA and then onto planes bound for as far away as Korea and China. Great care must be taken to keep the water they are in at the right temperature and salinity, and to make sure that the crabs' legs and claws stay intact. The TNT is owned and operated by Karl Travenshek of Astoria. January, 2013 photo.

Lime Green
There is a storefront downtown that has painted its pipes and exterior trim a colorful lime green. I love the bright colors. They pop through the gray!

Aleutian Ballad
Welcome Guest Blogger Liz McMaster who along with husband own the F/V Lady Laura. Her posts will primarily focus on the commercial fishing community here in Astoria-Warrenton. For those not familiar with the reagion, Warrenton is a close neighbor of Astoria where many of the local fishing boats docks. Cyndi Mudge
Captain David Lethin and crew are preparing the Aleutian Ballad (also a
tour boat with the Bering Sea Crab Fishermen's Tour) to make the trek to
Alaska and fish for Brown King Crab. The dome shaped pots will be
dropped to the ocean floor in hopes of securing a healthy load of the
highly sought after crustaceans. The Aleutian Ballad was also featured
in the popular Discovery Channel series: "Deadliest Catch."

Sunflower Dairy
The rear of this building honors the past while the front is the entryway to the new. Sunflower Dairy was at one time a staple business of Astoria and its glass bottles are sought by collectors. Today, two other iconic businesses operate out of this building. Paramount Drug Co. and JC Penny have their storefronts of this building on Commercial Street. Anyone have more information about Sunflower Dairy?
