signs
Blast From The Past
0Jon Goodman spotted this blast from the past at the old Porter & Lau building on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Marion St.:
Thought this was interesting. Checking out the Porter & Lau closeout and saw this old labeling machine with their logo on the tags.
It is definitely interesting. And check out that old school phone number — RO 9-2194. Trippy. Thanks, Jon!
Beware Trespassers
0I thought this little sign was cute. It reads: “Beware! Trespassers will be composted.” I found it on a birdhouse in a window display at Accents Northwest on 3rd Ave. It fits Oregon rather well, as we are rather environmentally friendly around here.
City Center
0Guest photographer Maryann Nielson captured today’s photo of the cool neon city center sign on the corner of 1st Ave. and Marion St. It points the way to historic downtown Stayton. Thanks, Maryann!
Church… Wait, What?
0I passed by this sign at the New Life Foursquare Church on 1st Ave. yesterday, and had to double back and get a photo. It’s great the church is hip to the lingo of today’s youth, but to actually say “Church LOL”… I mean, laughing out loud about church? It seems rather odd to me.
Huh? What was that? Oh. It’s actually “Church 101,” you say? One zero one. I see. Well, thank you for pointing that out.
Then I guess it wouldn’t do to point out it the second line of the sign also looks like a person with their arms up in the air because they are drowning, so I’ll just keep quiet on that.
St. Mary Cemetery
0Guest photographer CB took today’s awesome photo of this sign at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery on 3rd Ave. Thanks, CB! I’ll have another by CB later in the week.
Volunteers Needed
0We have a photo of the Stayton Fire Department on Ida St. for today. Local folks can volunteer to be a part of the awesomeness by going to StaytonFire.org.
It’s That Time Again
0It’s the first day of school here in Stayton. So be on the look out for various children of various ages walking to and from school with sad, forlorn looks on their faces.
This photo was taken yesterday in front of Stayton Elementary School on 1st Ave. Would it be considered ironic that I have trouble spelling the word ‘elementary’? I can never tell.
One Less Thing To Worry About
0I can’t tell you how relieved I was to see this sticker for the Zombie Outbreak Response team in a car window a couple of days ago. Potential zombie outbreaks have kept me up at night, worrying about how I would be able to survive such a catastrophic event. I can’t run very fast, after all. But now I know there will be a team of zombie fighters out there, doing their part to take down those evil, brain-obsessed zombies. Thank goodness.
This was spotted in a parking lot along 1st Ave.
Also, that’s my head in the photo. Dang reflections.
Stayton
0I’ve posted photos of the water tower before, but it was there and I was there with my camera, so here’s another photo of the water tower.
