Gone to ground - Vancouver Washington
Heading back down to Portland tomorrow for Powell's but traffic there was horrific and parking was not accommodating to a long-bed F-350 pickup.
Spent an hour driving around Vancouver's historical neighborhoods -- a lot of shuttered businesses but a lot of really neat old buildings and evidence of people trying to preserve them and develop them appropriately.
Don't know what housing prices are here but this could be a cool little city to live -- the marine facilities are huge as is the rail yards. A great city for industry and several industrial parks being developed (and occupied!) near the Columbia. Took Finnegan (my dog) for a nice long walk along the riverfront park.
Had an OK dinner at a local Greek Restaurant -- I have an allergy to cheese and asked for no Feta Cheese on my dinner. It came heaped with Parmesan. Service was really, r e a l l y leisurely until I lied to them and told them that I still had a couple hours to drive.
