The building received A LOT of remodeling and restoration in 2017-2018. They were very careful to keep the original look and feel of this historical building, while doing some much needed upgrades. The building is handicapped accessible front and back. There are three small meeting/classrooms and a HUGE upstairs ballroom with a stage and beautiful hardwood floors. There is also a small kitchen. The building is conveniently located next to a MAX stop and is diagonally across from Overlook Park.

Nice airport close to Gearhart and Seaside. Closest airport to Cannon Beach too. No scheduled air…read moreservice at this airport, only private general aviation, charters (listed on their website), and occasional commercial / military. There used to be a biplane guy doing sightseeing rides but he hasn't been there in a while. No fees. Kind of short at 2150' though without the displaced thresholds it's more like 2350. Watch those crosswinds, and really watch for the deer and ELK that wander onto the airport sometimes. There's a nice pilot shed with 'courtesy bicycles' available for fly-in visitors. Cabs are cheap and there's at least one car rental place nearby (phone #s for both are on the reader board and the airport website). Some of the restaurants / hotels will do airport pickup if you ask. It's easy walking distance to Gearhart and several restaurants and other attractions, closest is just a few steps down the road. The airport website and airport reader board have lots of good info too. Officially there's no camping on the field but if you pitch your tent after dark no one will likely bother you, Don't leave tents etc. unattended as the police have been known to come out and confiscate. It is relatively safe with a fence around the tie-down ramp area. Oh and the map here on Yelp shows the city hall address not the airport so don't try to land where the pointer is!

At a first cursory glance, there is not much to it as there are only limited businesses to see. On my last trip there I was given a tour of the old Town Hall by one of the town officials and learned some fascinating facts about the two-story concrete building. Joe's Place serves excellent burgers and fries and has been a family owned and operated business for 113 years. They must be doing something right. The town once was the largest town in Thurston County and was around when Washington was still a territory. It was the location of the first territorial prison and had a huge lumber operation at one time. Definitely not ready for the bulldozers as one reviewer has said.

Dear Portland, thank you being a city that I've always imagined a city to be. After living in…read moreHouston for sometime, I've taken for granted what a true city holds in place to make it a dream city. Thank you for being completely slow paced in terms of time difference (hence two hours behind), as I write this review, the time is 4:17 AM in the city, whereas in Houston is it 6:17 AM. I feel as if I get more time to rest my eyes before the following morning. Thank you for having vegan food at a desirable distance and plenty restaurants throughout the city and not just in certain popular areas. I was sad to see many vegan restaurants that I had planned to taste were permanently closed: Mama Dut, The Fermenter, Homegrown Smoker (moved to Phoenix, AZ). Thank you for having weather without humidity. The fact that I walked 20,913 steps around the city yesterday without feeling completely out of breath and drowning in my own sweat was very pleasant!!! I hear it rains frequently which I'm used to, but even that didn't happen while I was here. Nice airy weather. Thank you for being a walkable and bike friendly city too! Thank you for having lush gardens in the front yard of houses. I traveled partly through some hoods and even then it didn't look like a plight. Every house I spotted had some form of vibrant flowers growing. I rarely saw lawns. That's what I've always said I wanted my future house to look like: garden in the front and one in the back. Portlanders really know how to appreciate luscious greenery in all aspects! I've seen so many flowers, sedum varieties, ground cover, colorful bushes, rhododendron trees in every color imagined! In Houston we typically have the sister variety, azaleas. I love Green! So eco friendly, good for any environmentalist, nature nerd, and outdoor enthusiast. Thank you for easy accessible public transit: I've taken the buses to get from point A to point B. Let me ask, "why are the bus drivers so damn nice?!" They actually greet you with a smile when you get on the bus. That is such a rarity in Houston; because the bus driver's there are extremely rude, do not talk to you once you get on the bus, and most have a nasty attitude. I was taking aback by the friendly bus drivers that I encountered around the city of Portland. I got a chance to ride the light rail Max yesterday and that was a bit slower than the bus. It had plenty of room inside to find a seat. The people on the train was minding their own business. And although you don't pay on the light rail, it's options to pay before you get on at the stop. Bus 75 was a godsend! It took me around the city and a very fast pace. Gave me the option to just tap my card which accepted instantaneously! Thank you for the most friendly and helpful people! I've met many transplants in the city. And I see why they moved to Portland. I got bit of turned around yesterday walking to the Hoyt Arboretum trusting Google maps to take me and guess what? A very kind man offered to take me to the Arboretum in his car. He was very nice and at most helpful. Even him being a stranger he cared about my safety. And that is rare. He wasn't thinking about snatching me up or doing bad things to me. He was very considerate and had a kind spirit. Even the locals are sweet: as I was walking around admiring the park a local recommended that I see the view of Portland at the Pittock Mansion. I love that immensely!! I do love a laid-back city too. Everyone is chill and not always in your face. The city isn't as diverse as Houston, but I felt very safe and a sense of belonging. Being in Houston let alone, Texas as a minority, there's plenty of times I've felt unsafe and uncomfortable. Don't believe anyone that tells you that the homeless population is dangerous in Portland. I was scared thinking that it'd be worse than what I experienced in Houston such as, being attacked/followed by a homeless man and then called racial slurs by a homeless chick. Of course, the homeless population can be issue in every city. There were plenty of tent cities I've seen tucked around the city. I was told not to go to Chinatown for that reason, but didn't have it on my travel itinerary either. Thank you so much, Portland. I love you, my dream city! I hold a special place in my heart for you!! I'm glad I got to explore you as a solo traveler.
