The Our Town building on 3rd Ave. was painted this interesting shade of green. The above is a view of the side wall, where it meets the police station parking lot. It’s certainly a bold choice, I guess one could say. You can see what it used to look like on Google Maps Street View. [...]
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 [...]
Rumours Restaurant / Santiam Depot (I’m not sure exactly what’s it’s called nowadays, so let’s go with both) on 3rd Ave. got a fresh coat of paint sometime recently (it used to be blue), so of course that requires a photo. I thought I had a daytime photo of the old look, but it appears [...]
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 [...]
I think the sign on this motorcycle shop, The Eagles Nest on 1st Ave., may mean only those on four wheels. Two-wheelers seem to get an exception.
This is a new LED sign up on the back wall of Postal Connections. It is bright. Very bright. I’m fairly certain if you sit and stare at it for a while it will blow your mind. I haven’t tried it, so it’s just a guess.
This reader board at Stayton Cleaners on Washington St. made me chuckle. I can’t decide if two guys named Al Erations and L. Ather are asking for folks’ laundry, or if ol’ Al wants to lather someone’s laundry all by himself.
For the curious, the two missing letters on the sign are ‘t’ and ‘e’.
Today’s photo is of the parking lot side of the Red Apple Chinese restaurant on 2nd Ave., next to the Post Office. I have no clue what the characters say, if anything. Maybe it’s the name of the restaurant. Dunno. I can’t just copy and paste it into Google Translate, so I’m a little lost. [...]
This sign lives at one of the parking exits at a veterinarian clinic on 1st Ave. So, you know, don’t turn left there.
Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo of a Stayton sight I’ve never noticed before. His description:
This roadsign sits on a pole on the cannery’s property where Gardner tees into Washington. Maybe that’s why it’s never been removed. This is one of the last of it’s kind locally. It’s a reminder of a time [...]
The bill drop boxes at one of the phone company buildings on 2nd Ave. are going to be removed at the end of the month. Why, it seems like just yesterday (okay, it was January) when I posted a photo of the ‘this space currently not in use’ sticker. Anyway, these drop boxes have been [...]
The is a sign atop a little coffee drive-thru place on Shaff Rd., next to McDonald’s in the Bi-Mart/Roth’s parking lot. I’ve never had any beverages from there (I’m not a coffee drinker), but I adore their sign. Very retro.
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 on [...]
This no trespassing sign is in a small field across from the public high school on Locust St. Obviously, some folks took exception to the sign and put a bit of graffiti on it. I swear it wasn’t me. I even stayed on the sidewalk to take the photo.
That’s Norpac Cannery is in the background, [...]
This window sign is at Santiam Depot/Rumours Lounge on 3rd St. in downtown Stayton. The line “all order _r cook to order” makes me smile.
