    The maritime museum in Astoria is kinda cool. The view from the Astoria column is nice too.

    I always liked taking hwy 30 along the Columbia to Astoria then driving down 101 to Tillamook and coming back on hwy 6. Going the he other way around is probably better if you want to hit the cheese factory. Hwy 6 between Portland and Tillamook is the prettiest drive to the coast I think.

    Great photo op between Tillamook and Cannon Beach:

    Are you bringing someone who hasn't been before?

    OHSU L&S building and the new bridge are quickly rising.

    A neat time-lapse video of intersection at SoWa -- the combination of the light-rail and tram, I don't think there is another intersection like this anywhere else in the country.

    An interesting proposal but it's still a ways out. A concept from BikePortland.Org:

    [​IMG]​

    In other news -- Intel recently built $3billion facility (Hillsboro) have released Phase-ll of the property that will include another manufacturing facility and an office building that will bring thousands of "permanent jobs" to the area. Oh, and this phase will cost Intel more $3+ billion.

    When/IF this happens I think the "Omsi District" has so much potential. Especially if the city lands an MLB team, that's where the stadium should go.
