What I Saw - Thursday, July 12, 2012 - Campers, Canoes, Sidewalk Sales

"Wet 'n' Wild Campers" from Camp Donegal at Columbia River Park . . . 
 Ranae Tibbens of Chiques Rock Outfitters (in fluorescent green shirt) helps the campers debark from canoes and kayaks.

 Now the fun part - lugging the boats up the steps.

 Ranae leads the way.

 This one's a little lighter.

 Voyage over, the intrepid campers walk through the park to their waiting bus.

Further uptown . . .
Sidewalk sale at Hinkle's Pharmacy




New resident at the old State Theatre . . . 


Site of the never-to-return Columbia Bowl
Soon to be a veterinary clinic

  1. thanks for the great pics! i'm still sad over the fact that the bowling alley is gone forever....
    it's awesome that the site won't stand empty-but it's a shame that someone who has the means doesn't rebuild the bowling alley :(
    and, a movie theatre would be great too!!! i see the old drive in is for sale again....wouldn't it be awesome if someone bought it and built a movie theatre !!!!!!!!!

    1. The bowling alley has been a mainstay for as long as I can remember (and longer!). It will be missed.
      The drive-in won't be coming back either. Some people will never know what it was like to see a movie on the big screen - in the open air!
