Yes, I heart tiny type… it’s a downfall of mine. I’m working on a solution, so please bear with me!

Thanks B! I will get the low-down from you next time I go—although this trip wasn’t really about food, more about relaxing and enjoying the view. We actually had a better view from our kitchen than any restaurant on the strip!

Biggles, That cabin sounds great! I bet those were some fun summers. That’s crazy about the snow, but I bet it was amazing…

Hmm, I thought it was tiny. But most things are tiny on a 21” monitor, so I didn’t say anything.
WHAT ?!?!? No contact information ?!?

I looked for another way to contact you and apologize if I missed it. Just wanted to say that I would dearly love to keep reading your site but wonder if you have thought about enlarging the font. I have good vision and don’t have this issue on other sites, but your font is so tiny I am about to give yours up. Thanks for your consideration and good luck.

I can’t tell you any where cause I started going there in 1976. I remember the Circle K, Ben Franklin & the bakery … Oh and it snowed one winter. No kidding. Snow on the beach, it was amazing.

Each of the Oregon Coast towns has its own personality. I love Newport and it was always the “working town”. The wax museum and Ripley’s have been there for years and I have no idea why! I guess it was to try to bring some tourism to the area. Silly people.

Don’t know if you had a chance to eat at Mo’s but the original Mo’s is right on that inner harbor and used to open at 3:30 am to serve the fisherman before they went out for the day.

The other great thing about that harbor is that somebody is usually selling crabs or shrimp that they just brought in – I LOVE that!

Next time you head to the Oregon coast (or anywhere in Oregon for that matter) give me a heads up. I’d be happy to tell you what I know. (For what it’s worth…)

Aaawwww, I used to spend weeks up there every year with a friend. This went on for a handful of years. Grams (long since passed) had a home over the beach. Funky cabin type house with knotty pine everywhere. It was awesome. There was a bakery in town where we’d load up on eclairs & cream puffs & cakes and all kinds of goodies. Newport is a nice place. Don’t feel too bad, it took longer from the SF Bay Area than 5 hours.
