Located in Oregon, USA, featuring Stayton and other nearby towns in the Willamette Valley.
American Star
I’ve posted a photo or two (okay, three) of the neon sign on the Star Cinema before, but it’s so cool, I’m doing it again. The flag behind the sign is at the police station, which sits right next door to the Star.
I really need to go back at night when it’s lit and take more photos. I shall do that someday soon, when it’s not so cold at night.
Other photos I’ve posted of the Star:

Remembering on Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day in the United States (see the Wikipedia entry for this holiday). The City put out several U.S. flags along 3rd Ave. in honor of the day and what it means. I took this photo in front of City Hall. This holiday is technically intended to honor those who have died while More >

These flags fly over the fire department on Ida St. I don’t have a picture of it, but the back side of the Oregon flag has a beaver, because Oregon is “The Beaver State.” (Insert your favorite beaver-related joke here.) I think it’s the only state flag in the United States to be two-sided. Correction: More >

I’ve posted photos of Rumours Restaurant & Lounge on 3rd Ave. before, but I was in the area a couple of nights ago, so I’m doing it again. I love the lighted signs on this place.
A Night At The Theater

I went to go see “How To Train Your Dragon” 3D last night at the Star Cinema, so I took a picture on the way out. That just might be my scooter at the bottom left of the photo. The Star just upgraded their screen and projector for the full 3D experience, and “Dragon” is More >

Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo. His description: Peering into Porter & Lau in the late afternoon dusk, comes this glowing offer. For those who don’t know, Porter & Lau, also known as Porter TV & Appliance, was an electronics and appliance store in downtown Stayton on 3rd Ave. The long closed building More >

I happened by the Star Cinema on 3rd Ave. a couple of days ago, and noticed they have repaired their awesome neon sign. The last time I noticed it, some of the letters were dark. I have no idea when that happened, but I’m very glad they did. The people who run the Star do More >

Today marks the eighth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York City and the Pentagon, plus the downed plane in Pennsylvania. I’m ashamed to say the date sneaked up on me… it wasn’t until late last night when I was typing in the date on another post that I remembered. I’ve noticed More >

(Click here to see a Flickr photoset from the event!) Last night a benefit concert was held at the Star Cinema for Ken Cartwright, in order to help pay for some medical bills associated with some recent health problems. Ken, for those who don’t know, has done quite a lot for the Stayton area community, More >
This Flower Will Never Wilt

I’ve been posting a lot of flowers lately (yay, spring!), so in an effort to show you something entirely different, here’s a neon sign with… oh, look. It has a flower on it. It even says “flowers.” Darn. Well, I tried. Kinda. This sign hangs in one of the windows at the Roth’s grocery store More >

Today is the US holiday Memorial Day (read the Wikipedia entry to find out what it entails). I stopped by Lone Oak Cemetery, which is on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd., yesterday to take this photo. A Stayton (our town was named for Drury Smith Stayton) family tombstone sits in the More >

That reminds me of high school. I went to Stayton Union High and we used to go to the Star cinema all the time. Nice to see the old building still stands as is.
