There are a lot of reasons why I love Astoria, the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies. This little Oregon town sits on the beautiful Columbia River and is full of history (Lewis and Clark made camp for the winter at the end of their journey to the Pacific here), culture, and beauty. I made a recent visit to the historic Pier 39, the site of the old
Bumblebee Cannery.
When the Cannery was shut down a few years back, creativity took over and a suite of offices, a museum, a coffee shop and a restaurant and brewery moved in. Here are some photos. Next time you make it to Oregon, don't miss it.
