Philips Products, Stayton’s largest employer with 125 workers, is closing its doors. Philips is part of a nationwide company, and has been a part of Stayton for decades. My father worked at the Stayton plant for many years before moving on to manage other Philips plants throughout the country. I don’t know when the official [...]
I don’t know when it went in exactly (it had to have been rather recent), but I noticed this new convenience store next to the Dollar Tree on the corner of 1st Ave. and Locust St. The location used to house a furniture rental place.
So, that makes… um, well, there are two Circle K stores, [...]
I have no idea why I did this, but I stopped long ago trying to find reasons for most of the things I do. I’ve posted photos of parts of the cannery before (they’ll probably show up in the related links section below), but this time I did almost the whole darned thing. The very [...]
I spotted these interesting things just outside of city limits, behind the park and ride area along Cascade Highway. My brother said they’re probably dogwood trees which will act as a future wind buffer. The tube things around them are to make sure they grow and don’t get blown away. If anyone has any further [...]
There’s a hill off to one side of E. Santiam St. with some houses on it, and from Santiam St. it looks like the houses are up in the trees. For no discernible reason, that made me giggle.
This barbed wire fence surrounds a farm field on E. Santiam St. I posted a photo of a tree from the same field a few days ago.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all.
Just be sure to warn them first. Personal space is important, after all.
I spotted this sticker on a metal barrel in the parking lot at Bi-Mart on Shaff Rd. I wonder how long it’s been there, and who put it on the barrel.
I took today’s photo on W. Locust St. looking south across some train tracks into an industrial area of some sort. I have no idea what sort, but I do know I’d love to wander around in there and take pictures. There is a lot of cool stuff behind the fence.
It seems I have a thing for walls. After all, I posted a photo of a wall yesterday, and I’m doing it again today. So, ya know, I like walls.
This particular wall is the back of an old garage (see a photo of the front from 2006). The garage is on 2nd Ave., but I [...]
This isn’t really a house, nor is it really blue. It’s actually a white wall on the outside of the Masonic Lodge on 3rd Ave. But I liked it better in blue, so that’s how it ended up. Yay.
Today’s photo is of a sidewalk and wrought iron fence on Ida St. I took it as a possible photo for the February 1st City Daily Photo theme day, which was “paths and passages.” (See what I did use, and another alternate). I’ve always liked this fence… it’s very stately.
I took this photo off of the little street bridge on 2nd St., next to the Jones Hotel building, pointing towards some water and hedges. It’s my shadow, plus that of the bridge’s railing.
This is part two of a two-part post (see yesterday’s post for day one), showing some of the things revealed by the water being backed up at the power canal off of 4th Ave.
The photo above is of some mud and rocks which created a nifty pattern, and the photo at right (click on it [...]
It’s time once again to visit my favorite power canal off of the south end of 4th St. For whatever reason, a work crew of some variety was out two days ago working on or near the canal, and they had stopped the water flow so that most of the canal bed was exposed. Normally, [...]
I know, somewhere deep down, you’ve been yearning for a random nighttime photo of the Circle K convenience store on Washington St. in Stayton, Oregon. You’ve come to this blog day after day just waiting for this. And now the day has finally come. You’re welcome.
