Guest photographer and all around helpful guy John Brandt sent in today’s photo, taken at Wilderness Park. His description:
Handwrought and a remnant, probably, of the construction of Salem Ditch in 1856. (“The Waterways of Stayton”, Ernst Lau, 2001) Found it securely attached to something heavy and deeply buried just off the trail on the [...]
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. Jon’s description:
Another crumbling memory from the past, this one on Florence St., alongside the old Stayton Hardware building.
Thanks, Jon, for this walk [...]
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 noticed [...]
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 years [...]
We have a photo from guest photographer Moe today. His description:
Took this [last] Tuesday at Phillips. Kinda looks like an ole buzzard picking away at the remains of Phillips Industry. We should get used to seeing this kind of activity.
Thanks for the photo, Moe. I haven’t been by the Phillips plant since they announced it [...]
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.

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 [...]
Guest photographer John Brandt sent in today’s photo of some volunteers building horseshoe pits at Neitling Park, which resides next to Pioneer Park. I had no idea this was taking place, so it’s extra cool of John to send the photos in.
This photo shows Stayton Park Board Chair Vietske building the horeshoe pits. For two [...]
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 I read [...]
Guest photographer Jon Goodman provided today’s photo. His description (and question):
I believe these are piers from the old bridge that crossed the Santiam, south of town. Replaced in the mid sixties? Maybe someone a little older than me could give a more exact date.
I’m curious, as well. I’ve never seen this area before. Thanks, Jon, [...]
Guest photographer Hugo sent in today’s interesting photo and information:
This isn’t a great picture, and possibly not a very interesting one either. But, if you happen to be waiting in line for your donuts on 08/21/2017 a little after 10 A.M. you will notice that things seem “odd”. The day will turn to night and [...]
Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo of the back of the feed store in Scio. Jon called it, “Another picture of rust and decay, my favorite subjects to photograph.” I’m right there with ya, Jon.

Guest photographer John Brandt took this beautiful photo of Wilderness Park, as seen from across the creek (otherwise known as Salem Ditch) at Pioneer Park. It looks mystical. Thanks, John.

Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in another photo today, this time of a caboose which resides next to the Scio Historical Society building in nearby Scio. I thought about making caboose-related puns, but then decided to be nice and spare the general populace. It would just end up badly, anyway.
Oh, wait… end… yeah, never mind.
Thanks [...]
Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo of a bridge which crosses the Santiam River on the way out of nearby Jefferson. There’s certainly a lot of nifty detail in the structure… one of those things we might just pass by without really noticing. Thanks to Jon for taking the time to really see [...]
