Unlike the previous nitwit that I'm sure these morons voted for two or more times. Which makes the "somewhere in Kenya a village has lost its idiot" jokes scattered throughout the store just tasteless and disrespectful. Even if these fools had something i wanted, and even if i could figure out what they're asking for it, I wouldn't encourage these fools by buying it.

I tried to make a deal on an electronics item and the price was so outrageous that I said "fuggedaboudit". If you want to see a whole lot of junk in one place you can go here but why would you do that? Go hit the garage sales instead folks.

Let me start with...I appreciate all museums! I was excited to visit a local museum here in Coos…read moreBay. Parking is free and easy. We surprisingly came on a free day. Normally admission is $7 for adults. The lady at the front counter was so friendly. I started by going upstairs where they were having a small craft show. Meet some lovely people with amazing skills. Spoke with each vendor about their art pieces and even bought a few items for Christmas gifts. We then walked around the couple spaces upstairs with exhibits. The upstairs building itself is beautiful. Arched ceiling and old doors. The art on display was a variety of local artists and different styles. We then went downstairs to see a rescheduling art display. I appreciated the beadwork and PNW themed creations. In total, we were there for less than an hour. There's not a lot to see but what was there was nice. They have a good size gift shop but minimal things to purchase. Seems like a missed opportunity. I feel there should be some local artist items as well as Coos Bay trinkets that support local artists talents. I'm sure there are locals who would give a portion of their sales to the museum. Maybe rotate vendors quarterly? I don't know. I just know there wasn't much to purchase or show interest in supporting the museum. All in all it was a nice visit. T thought I took more photos but I guess I was just living in the moment :}
