Why because they walk on eggshells for you? Or because there is no consequence for your constant belittling? I already know the beach community cannot be decent. They can't even respect working there temporarily. Astoria is a fake wannabe racial hood of cult followers. So are Netarts or Tillamook. They are fake and they are cowards. And there is no real work ethic whatsoever. They just want to work the system out there. And they will tell a lie about heritage to work the system. Working the system is all that is in their hearts out there at the beach. They all lie and I'll fight any of them. Mainly I offer to box anyone from the beach of Oregon. Matching head gear and gloves. I'm calling every inhabitant of the Oregon coast a coward. Cowards that will never fight but only taunt.

My father was in the navy during WW 2. At the end of the war, ships from the Pacific theater came into the U.S. Pacific ports for repairs. The ships were lined up from Astoria to Portland, waiting their turns for repairs, so my father was able to get off the ship in Astoria many times, then he was discharged when they got to Portland and he went straight back to Astoria, where he met my mother, who was in a nursing program at the large hospital there. They gt married and moved to California, where they live for the restvof their long lives.

I attended the Job Corp at Tongue Point in Astoria Oregon in the late 1970’s. I was 16 and had just been emancipated. It was formerly a Naval Base, what a gorgeous location. I wish I’d not been such a troubled child and enjoyed it more. Even still, I knew I’d been given an amazing opportunity to live in a spectacular place. Wish I’d stayed there.

Stella, good on you for appreciating what you had in Astoria. I hope you can go back to visit it. I took a troubled (and abused) teenager into my home (more than once). Her dad took her after a number of months from my home in Coos Bay. When she finished high school, she was put in the job corps, which she got kicked out of. Many years later, she and my daughter are still friends, and have taken care of one another's kids. My daughter has done very well for herself, and has helped her friend along the way. Her friend didn't always make good life choices, but has persevered and her kids are mostly raised. Does she wish she had made better choice. Yes! But considering how much she went through as a child, I think she has done pretty well! That same sentiment likely applies to you also.

I think Astoria represents something quite odd in the history of Oregon, and, the US in general. Somehow its both a story of unfathomable Boom-Bust cycles While also being a tale long cherished of subtle perseverance. Its rare to find both in one place. And yet, here we find Astoria. What was once touted (by myself included as a kid) as the New York of The West, is today maybe Oregon's most historied, town. A place that has lived its life in the lime light for nearly a century and a half, and today finds itself quite happily as little more than a seaside town at the end of some of the finest roads (and The finest river) one could hope to travel. Somewhere between the past and the present, the world forgot about Astoria and her stories. From the wood that built the world, to the fish that fed it, the port that sent it all out, and took very little in. The world might have, at least for a time, forgotten Astoria. But The Astorians never did. And damn well they never shall

@@SuperNoncents I was told by an Astorian resident that in the case of a tsunami they have a hill that they intend to climb. And it was suggested it was safe from the tsunami. They seem to demand their story. And they always interject that they were heroes. Like with the story of the fire. I would think it was the 1830s that the industrial fire took place. Because they had plenty of explosive material in storage. Maybe the detonation did block the fire or possibly it sucked enough air out for the fire to collapse. There was just no way they would have been able to act in front of a fire like that. You see the heat would be far too intense. Astoria is a daycare for trustafarians, they are too old to demand a story be read. It's not the fairy tale they promote. Somehow with the people Astoria attract there absolutely must be something pagan or paranormal that would compete with either the Heroin high or the coke high, and I mean the injected high. You probably have heard of the prison gang termed Supreme White Power? SWP is the tattoo they receive when certain orders are followed. Then the person would receive protection from other prison gangs. Astoria has attracted SWP gang members in the past. And I met one SWP member that had lived in Astoria and he loved it there. That's the comfort zone out in Astoria. It's a pagan free ride zone of wannabe white supremacists.

@@saltydog-mv4ij Mainly I say the story of Astoria is all a cover story. I would think that the real story would include war crimes. That's why the town of Astoria attracts empty soul free riders of the euphio machine. I don't need to go there. If you need me to say something good about Astoria I would say the lot spacing is good. The old houses are nice but they have nothing to do with Victorian houses builders or the style of British Columbia. And further I say the best houses would have been constructed from 1830 to 1840 and if you want proof you need to look in the construction of the foundation. But also there would be too much destruction if someone did prove the date on a historical building. Personally I would have the state buy all of Astoria and move the citizens all up to safety in higher elevations. As well all the historical buildings should be available to view and learn of in a paid guided tour.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I lived in Astoria for three years during the early/mid 1950’s, while my father was stationed at the then US Navy base at Tongue Point. We lived in Navy housing just outside of town. The bridge wasn’t there at the time. We took the ferry over to Washington to visit my grandparents. Downtown Astoria is much like it was when I lived there, minus the ferries, fishing fleet and the canneries. I’ve since taken my wife back to Astoria a few times. Wouldn’t mind living there again.

So...not sure about that route but from Portland to Astoria...there was a ton of logs and debris you will hit...back in the day they had hundreds of piers along the river bank and today they have the remains of the large poles still sticking in the mud along the bank and the dangerous ones are the ones just under the surface that you can not see just waiting to punch a hole in your boat. This is very important to know as when you sail or motor going up stream (against the current) a tactic to make better headway is to hug the bank so you can take advantage of the counter current but you run the risk of hitting one of these submerged pilings. They are charted on the charts but I bet not every one of them is in the charts...Best...SV Aquila...Seattle@@NFS305

22:49 the first railroad connecting Portland to Astoria was the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad in 1898. The A&CR became part of the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railroad in 1911. SP&S was merged with a few other railroads to form Burlington Northern in 1970, which today is BNSF. In the 1990s BN wanted to get rid of the Astoria line, and in 1997 it was sold to the Portland & Western between Portland (Willbridge) and Tongue Point, with the City of Astoria acquiring the remaining few miles. Today the Astoria Riverfront Trolley operates along the tracks in the city. In 2003, the State of Oregon along with the Portland & Western and Amtrak launched a three-car rail diesel car (RDC) train called the Lewis & Clark Explorer that ran between Linnton, just east of Portland, and Astoria to celebrate the bicentennial of the Lewis & Clark expedition. Though widely popular, it only lasted for two years, ending in 2005. There's a nonprofit group in Astoria that's been working since 1991 to restore a steam locomotive to pristine condition and run excursions along the Columbia River. They hope to get it operational in the next few years, after which they'll restore the track from Astoria 13 miles east to Knappa. www.astoriarailroad.org/

They are people stuck in the fifties. They all demand a story be told. Did they demand a lie be told with you? Or did you actually have fun out there? Just curious if you had any personal freedom. Or was it all labor?

In "Undaunted Courage" the book about the Lewis and Clark expedition it said that when they got to the mouth of the Columbia, Astoria was a trading post. That was 1805. This documentary says Astor sent 2 parties to the mouth of the Columbia in 1811. I tend to believe Lewis and Clark because they were surprised someone had already gotten there. Does anyone have more info on this?

@@GH-oi2jf With very little physical evidence to corroborate that expedition story I have come to believe it was made up in order to hide where the shipping was sophisticated in early nineteenth century. Actually the entire story of the settling of the West must have been embellished. In my heritage Oklahoma was the destination chosen with the big oil industry. And people moved to Mexico in the Mexican oil boom. Then when that ended they moved to California. What would possibly pay for wagons to just head east with no cash flow or income? My estimate is any wagons heading east were hired in a assassination campaign of the Native inhabitants. And this theory is backed from my own experience back in 1993 when military agents recruited an older step brother. I think they wanted someone who would want the free ride and would descend racially in a segregation intent. It was as a pirate group elects who would be selected in the Navy recruitment. And I know they want to group any part Indian in as Hispanic. I think this racial lie they demand is a big part of how the high is held up. I can say with certainty the Navy is a drug Cartel.

The only reason John Jacob Astor even knew about Astoria was the journals of Lewis and Clark who traveled overland from St. Louis to the mouth of Columbia. After hearing the stories of the wealth of fur, salmon, trees, etc. Astor financed an expedition to set up a trading post there before the French or British could claim the land.

My theory is that many early North Americans were allowed through a Jesus ship portal into an incrementally different and separate dimension. Thus when planetary alignment occurs there will be a dimensional shift, and with the shift there will be a change in tension regarding the tensity of terms and the tension of life. As well there will be a true physical difference with the change. While certain ailments will be lifted, basic transportation will be altered on a grand scale. The trucking industry will be most noticeably affected before and after the shift. The entire style of transport will change. And with the current style of automobile, they simply won't be able to get enough traction to get up hills. Keep the faith up that there is a God that loves you no matter what happens. And remember that Man doesn't have a cure. But Mankind can accept the love of Jesus and then you will accept one's true wealth the wealth that is yet to behold, and is the energy possible which replaces the lower form of currency. The scenic view will change dramatically fast as will the true spirits of north America that will be seen for the first time from non tribal members.

Convincing the last Frenchman to vote for an American colony instead of a British colony and opening up the first provisional government of the Pacific northwest in Champoeg Oregon 1846. He had to go back to president Polk a second time after the Whitman massacre. He was there for a long time It took the government a long time to ratify it. He worked for William sublet.

I've lived here since 1985. It was a big fishing community. It was a quaint little town. Things were quieter, more affordable, friendly little town. Totally different now. Fishing community all but gone. No housing and property is at prices that only snowbirds can afford. Homeless are everywhere. Over crowded. Crime is high. It's so sad.
@marioduron4376
@marioduron4376 Год назад
Sounds like poor city leadership. But also there was a different culture that built that Town and they really didn't want to share the original foundation building and site planning. Sounds crazy but they may know when a Tsunami will happen. Maybe the wealthy elites are not the class you might assume. It may be that they are tied to it in a way. From the true intentions of becoming a segregation colony. You still live a good life, inland from the coast. Sixty inland miles is what I believe the coast will be after a massive Tsunami. I could see if they had jet pontoon boats they might save some lives. Or those hydroplane crafts. Overall I see it as if that's the way it is out there, then that's all a part of their recipe of conformity. Conforming for what? Perhaps they have a lottery of being entered into a Castle. Perhaps a Castle in social form, but a pyramid complex of slave servants. It must be something as massive as the Freedom tower seen from all over New Jersey. This Pyramid complex must be seen from anywhere around the west coast. When it arrives out of the Earth it is seen east of Las Vegas and into Arizona. And massive flooding will soon follow the arrival. Whatever your level of hardship it wouldn't compare to falling in to the anarcho pyramid slave ship. Don't go near because you'll lose Adult logic. The most you would see any way is hard looking workers dressed in this era clothing and they enter a portal in the side of rock. There is a massive hydro of blue liquid being sprayed horizontally at a massive stone which jets the liquid straight up as high as the Golden pyramid itself. There are plenty of clues and there may be witnesses from this time that saw the pyramid poke up for air. The thing was people really did get converted into salt pewt ash if they looked back after being asked to leave. It was really just the next step beyond shunning. There were worse punishments from the arrival. I have my perspective which would be different from people looking from a different vantage point. Simply people need to hold their turf beyond the arrival of the Pyramid. Then the Earth will shift continents on a massive massive scale. The Alps will be west of oregon. And Oregon is fated to be the last visible state of the lower 48 and it will be the last remaining civilian state in the lower 48.

Didn’t cover some of the most interesting parts, the tunnels under town like the Shanghai hole behind the bar at the Workers tavern that leads right to the water. The recurring arsonist that has burned the waterfront every 50 years since its inception. Some of the most potent Psychedelic mushrooms in the world grow freely in everyone’s yards that have wood chips. The abandoned artillery facilities on the cliffs at Tongue point that should never be explored. That town is glorious or sleepy on a good day and then a dark cloud will pass over and you are instantly in a Steven King novel.

And was there any sign of a large tall chain link fence where a black guard was stationed and monitored the passing from Queens out perhaps into New Jersey? I'm still trying to figure out what his mom said about Queens. It was something not known about. What I'm thinking is there is a multi state cult alignment that many are hooked into. Addiction based and drug reliant but with a weird twist.
