It was very nice to be able to attend Midnight Christmas Eve here…read more My grandmother used to attend this Church back in the day when they operated the Shakey's pizza in town, so it was a very special experience for me. The Church is very nice and well maintained and the liturgy was prayed in a very devout and respectful, yet joyful manner. Everyone in the community was also very kind and welcoming and I was even given a partying gift! I hope I can come back some time soon.

This is probably one of the more odd reviews for an institution of higher learning, but if you hang…read morewith me, it will all make sense. In these troubled times of economic hardship and dwindling resources, Clatsop Community College has taken a beating as far as their budget is concerned. Class cuts, layoffs, students left in the dark...it's not a pretty picture at all. So let me look on the bright side and offer something that is pretty and inspiring about Clatsop Community College.....the incredible views from its campus. This is a very well designed campus with LEED Certified buildings. I really don't know how students focus here with the stunning views from many of the west facing windows. Do yourself a favour and pop into the library for a glimpse yourself. You will be treated to one of the finest views of the Columbia River. Fresh air, peace and quiet, the occasional deer, nice landscape, awesome views....this is a beautiful campus. All I had to gaze at when I was in university were books and an occasional comely co-ed. These "darn kids today" have it pretty good here as far as aesthetics are concerned. Now if we can just not fail them and keep higher education affordable and accessible for our local students. You don;t have to be a student to enjoy the serene surroundings at Clatsop Community College either. Pop in the library and relax a bit. It is staffed by some of the friendliest college staff I have ever dealt with. Get a cup of coffee. Check out the art gallery. Buy from the student store. Hell, take a class even. We owe it as a community to support this community college for future generations. It is one of the best investments money can buy.

We are so fortunate to live in the…read more"green state" with International and a World Renown Artist who's works are phenomenal and personality one of a kind... I always have a wonderful time when visiting and shopping in his gallery with price ranges for the first time investor to the discriminating collector of fine art... yes he is all that I say he is and a bag of chips! What's more Mr Bergstrom is the artist for the new or old generation and for this millennium... so make sure and bring the children along!... His collections run the gamut from originals, scenic, places traveled including Italy, Thailand and more, portraits, and contemporary with his "mark" most definitely stamped on all of his work... passion and romanticism is exuded in all of his work... You will find the perfect gift for yourself, your friends, family, corporations, hotels, restaurants, and for your home... Paintings that all will love forever and always... How very special to find such talent, wrapped into such an awesome person and experience this 30+ year veteran artist possesses right here in my hometown! Looking forward to seeing his "Latest Works" and "signing up" for one of his Art Classes! It is an honor to write my thoughts and review this wonderful Artist, giving him the kudos and recognition he deserves! I not only submit my vote for all who are interested in fine art to visit this icon, I would also tell those who don't "stop in" you are missing Portland's finest... Sincerely, Collector

Good Food & Drink, Live Music and Fun Entertainment and Excellent People and Company. Had the Privilege to Meet Local Artist Stephen Bergstrom in his Studio and Gallery downstairs. What a Cool Kat, here is an artist on top of his game. Romanticizing his Craft. Some Beautiful Work and a Fun and Funny guy, he is a Very Knowledgeable & Entertaining guy to talk to. In my opinion his Gallery Quality Paintings were of the Highest Quality and Had a Very Romantic Personal Touch, making for the Perfect Ambiance and Touch of Art to Adorne any Room, at an Exceptional Value. I also enjoyed his Curator and Sales Assistant Cigi, what a Fun Lady with Very High and Positive Energy!!! Take a Look at Stephen Bergstrom next time your taking a Look at Investing in Estate Quality Art. Highly Recommended.

Great indoor pool with a nice slide, lap lanes, hot tub, and small lazy river. The hot tub gets…read morefull on a busy weekend and the slide isn't always staffed. Usually during peak hours on Saturday (12-2) it's open. That being said, it's a great pool and I'm especially impressed with the lifeguard staff. They are attentive, kind, and professional. Better than most indoor pools I've been to. Gabby the lifeguard is especially wonderful - took time to encourage my daughter during her first swim test for a wristband. Worth the trip when you're in Astoria!

Old people are often going up the wrong way on the lazy river, which functions via weak small pumps. If the pump is covered, or the flow is stopped by anything along the path, the river stops working. This place would probably be pretty cool for a younger child.

When I got there it was closed and no sign of anyone. Called their phone a bunch of times, knocked on the door, and even left an email. Never received a single message... Google, Apple Maps, and their website all had totally different business hours. Their own website even has 2 different working hour infos... Definitely will never do business with them. On the bright side, I ended up going to Seaside in Oregon to a surf shop called "seaside surf shop". It was an extra hour drive but at least they had everything we needed and helped us out immediately. That's what a good surf shop does.
