Hello, Oregonians!

Coos Bay here! Greetings!
I was here on DU for a few years, left as it was no longer my cup of tea. Saw the new and improved version so...here I am!

Coos Bay, where 'get offa my lawn' really means something.

I am here and am making a point to read and post more in Oregon forum..



Edited to add

From Glendale area....

even if you are on the south end.

Oregonian by choice! Nice to meet you here.

The slate will be wiped clean when DU3 is officially launched.

I'm hoping for and looking forward to a more active Oregon group.

And, since I didn't mention it in the OP, I'm in Milwaukie.

Oregonian also, Cottage Grove actually and first post in the new DU3.

I read more than I post, but I'll surely be checking in regularly.

I, too, would love to see more of a local presence in the Oregon forum.

I pledge to do my part - gotta keep the greatest state in the union BLUE!

I'm in Portland. I also hope that more people will post here.

I love every inch of our awesome state, and have been to/lived in almost every corner. Must say, I like some places better than others, but wouldn't mind if I never crossed the border again, east, west, south and north. Maybe we could form our own country. Yes!

Happy holidays!

Hello everyone! Trying to get used to DU3 and all it has to offer! Hope to make it in here more often

and greetings from the 860 anarchists who call our village home.

Such a charming town! For several years, I attended the Britt Festival in Jacksonville every summer with my late mother, drove along the I-5 from Salem and made it a point to stop in Oakland on the way there or back. We'd have lunch and ice cream at a lovely historic restaurant right downtown, and it was like stepping back in time. Some wonderful memories connected with your village, and interesting to know about all the anarchists!

Blessings back from East of the Cascades!

in 1959 when I was 10. Except for my college years, I've lived here most of my life since. The Modes of Elkton opened the soda fountain you remember in about 1966. Later it was bought by Tollefsons and expanded into a 4 star restaurant. For many years people drove from Eugene just to eat at Tolly's. New purchasers after Tolly Tollefson had a stroke couldn't make a go of it, and it was recently shut down on a federal tax levy, and sold. I'm waiting to see if the new owners can serve up a phoenix.

Thanks for letting me know and bringing back the memory. Yes, now I recall it was a desination for lots of people I knew. Sorry to hear it's no longer open. I rarely travel south of Salem when I make it west of the mountains these days, but a trip to Tolly's would be well worth the drive if it should reopen in its former glory. I'll keep watch!

Blessings and happy holidays.

and when someone asks, I tell them I am from OREGON.
Just visiting here, for 14 yrs...sigh.

I've lived in many places but, NW Oregon (where I am now) and San Francisco (where I was born) have always been the places I call home.

Ask anyone who really knows me IRL and they will tell you it is true.

You are welcome here. Take a seat and enjoy our company.
