SD> You know the Royal Trailer Park in GP? My parents used to manage that park

SD> Boulevard (sp?) in Springfield.

Yes, that trailer park is right next to a disc golf course, my favorite place
to camp before the Supreme Court reversed their decision about Grants Pass.
The people who live in that trailer park have formed a surprisingly strong
sense of community and they collectively volunteer to keep the river bank
clean in that area.  Totally different from the "got mine GTFO" vibe of the
newcomers who live along the "better" parts of the river.  Easier to
recognize the humanity in the trailer park inhabitants.

I don't recall Beaverton well enough to remember 185th, but i remember
Centennial Boulevard in Springfield.  I seem to recall the center lane is
used for bikes, busses, and pedestrians, sandwiched in between opposite
flows of traffic on a busy highway.

The last time i was in Astoria, it felt like a tourist town with lots of
weekenders coming out from Portland to have a good time and spend their
money.  It was fun to watch the sea lions on the docks.  There was good
food and fancy coffee to be found.  :-)
