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 is still there, and this neon sign is still lit after all these years. I adore this sign, so extra thanks to Jon for sending in the photo. I’m glad it’s still turned on.

Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo of something I’d never seen. The photo was taken where E. Santiam St. meets Highway 22 just east of town. Jon’s description: Another in my series of disappearing old landmarks. This is a piece of the old North Santiam Hwy that was replaced by Hwy22 back in More >
Digging Up A Mystery

Guest photographer Jon Goodman has a question about the photo above: Found this weird rock embedded in the stump of an old apple tree we had dug out a couple weeks ago. It kind of looks like petrified rot. It is very sharp almost like a pumice stone. Any ideas about what it is? Heck 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.

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 >

Today is the third part of the mini downtown sidewalk tour provided by guest photographer Jon Goodman (see also: part 1 and part 2). Today’s photo marks a sidewalk made in 1912.

Sidewalk Concrete, Part 2

We have another downtown sidewalk photo from guest photographer Jon Goodman (see yesterday’s photo). His description: Another sidewalk shot. About 1910 apparently they were poring a lot of sidewalks downtown and one of the things they did was stencil the street names in the concrete. I’ve been paying more attention on my walks and have More >
Sidewalk Concrete, Part 1

Guest photographer sent along a few photos showing some interesting aspects of our very old sidewalks in the downtown area, so I thought I’d run them over the next handful of days. Jon’s description of today’s photo: I’ve been looking a lot at concrete lately, specifically our crumbling downtown sidewalks. Much of it is 100 More >
Wall of the Old Stayton Feed Building

Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo of a wall of the old Stayton Feed building. I think that sits on 4th Ave., near where it meets Water St. I could be wrong. Thanks to Jon, as always. Photo is copyright © Jon Goodman. All rights reserved. Do not copy or reproduce in any More >
Spiffy Old Door

I’m stealing (with permission) another of guest photographer John Brandt’s photos today, because I think it’s spiffy. This garage door sits on the corner of 2nd and Water St., on the side of an auto repair business. As John puts it, this door “helps demonstrate why we support adding this area to an urban renewal More >
In Detail

Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo. His description: This is an addition to your 3rd avenue photos from the other day. This is a detail shot showing the cool crown and dentil trims on the buildings. I love the detail. The angle of the shot really highlights the two different buildings. From what More >
