Veritable Quandry is gone. Buckaroos were a favorite of my father and my younger brother. Never been on the Canby Ferry. I rode the O. City Ferry once about 60-65 years ago. I've been going to Caro Amico for about 60 years. Took my wife there about a year or two ago. I've got several other favorites by no time now.
Hey, hey, each to his own, No fun for you and no fun for me might be great fun for Sly or someone else. Let's not be judgmental.
Have you ever: 1) Ice skated @ Lloyd Center 2) Roller skated @ Oaks Park 3) Go Karts @ Jantzen Beach 4) Bet on the dogs @ Portland Meadows 5) Had a Spanish Coffee @ Hubers
I remember Portland's first Sears store. It was their regional headquarters until they sold the building. I saw what might have been Oregon's first streaker in 1965 at O.S.U. 1, 2, 3, 4 yes, Rather than a Spanish coffee I prefer Portland's own coffee nudge.
