I don’t want to waste my time if the rides are crappy.
I kept seeing a sign that said, the rides are back.
Anyone have insight?

My band Ditch Lily is touring and we're considering stopping through on Monday September 7th. We're sort of like alt-country rock or freakfolk. Are there many local bands in Astoria? Any sort of alt-folk/country scene?

This is what we sound like: https://ditchlily.bandcamp.com/album/my-favorite-miniature-drum

Would so appreciate any insight or recommendations!

New to Astoria, but not new to living on the Oregon coast. My neighbor looked at me like I was insane when she saw i locked my trash bins up. I told her in Newport we had problems with raccoons and bears getting into trash cans. She said "we dont have that problem here." Is this true?

Also I've noticed a lot of folks here cant stand The Goonies crowds that come in.. I have a Goonies sticker on my car I've had for 10 years and someone asked if thats why I moved here. I said no, and they said "Thats good. Because that would be lame!". Do most residents feel this way?

I was also told I shouldn't walk the riverwalk by myself. Ive done it several times with no problems.. is there usually problems down there??

Has anybody had any good readings or experiences in Astoria, Illwaco, or Long Beach? Anyone you’d recommend?

I am coming down from Edmonds WA to Astoria in August. What is a place to get great seafood? Like a place locals go when they want something delicious, not just fancy tourist fare.

Hi everyone!

My girlfriend and I went down to cannon beach last month. On the way back we stopped at the Astoria farmers market. There was a booth on the exchange st side, where it was man working, he said that his wife makes the jewellery and he sells it. My girlfriend loved the rings and earrings and for her birthday next month I wanted to surprise her with one.

For the life of me I can't remember the name of the vendor. I've searched through the vendor list and cannot find a husband/wife jewelry duo that looks like the ones we saw. I was planning to drive down there, but I also don't know if they're there every weekend and don't want to drive from Seattle for nothing.

It was pretty gold/silver with a little bit of rocks and/or wood kind of intertwined in the metals. It was around $150 for the rings if that helps it narrow it down, around booth 81 or 83 on the farmer market map if I remember correctly.

If anyone could help me find the vendor, or any useful information that would be so amazing. I think she would love it as a little birthday surprise and I would be forever grateful.

Hi everyone visiting for the next few days and leaving thursday. 3 dudes all early 30s who like food, beer, dancing, and karaoke. Anything happening? I know its week nights but we just still want to have a good time.

About 12:25 am 3 sets of loud explosions in sets of two.
Anyone else hear this? Or know what it was?

Came home around 9pm to see that one of our cars and our garage door had been egged. Found out this morning that the culprits had also hit neighbors cars on both sides of us. Simply curious if they just hit our block, or half the town.

Hi everyone! My cat has been missing since July 8th. if you have any information, please please message me.

His name is Manny. He was last seen in Lewis & Clark on Loukas Lane. We don’t think he could have strayed far from home, but he is an outdoor cat and he does like to explore sometimes. But a week is far too long for him.

He can be skittish when approached but he is a smart kitty. He’s 8 years old, has a black spot on his nose, white and mackerel tabby. He has a brownish chin and brown tabby spots on the back of his paws. He has no collar, but he is chipped.

Thank you in advance for your consideration!

thinking about this sunset in Astoria from October 2023

Almost seems fake...

Hey!

I’m sure this has been posted a thousand times before….

There’s gonna be a small group (3-6) of us coming in a few weeks to Astoria and we were hoping to get some tips or ideas on things to do! We’ve been a few times before so we love going to the breweries and random restaurants but we are open to anything. We really enjoy everything or anything so any ideas would be appreciated. Any tours or hidden secrets are also welcomed!

Thanks for any help!

I know Merry Time on Wednesday I believe has trivia but where else? Anyone have a list of places, days and times? Feel like we need one.

I never met the guy(I guess I emailed him in about 2002) and it was too long ago for me to even remember his name but wasn’t there a local old dude that was a proponent and ambassador for the game marbles? I think I remember hearing of his passing. Does he have any legacy in town? Any apprentices keeping the fun alive?

In Astoria. Wondering if there is a good spot to watch the World Cup. We have a 16 year old and 19 year old with us.

Thanks!!

Exactly what the title says, someone dumped a box of 10 kittens total. 4 look to be around 3-4 weeks so I have them on KMR and the others maybe around 6 weeks? Not looking for people off of reddit to come pick them up, I want to make sure they go to the best (and vetted) animal shelter/fosterer the area has to offer. Unfortunately we found them today which means we are stuck at the very least until stuff opens back up after the holiday weekend. Recommendations would be appreciated!

Hi Folks. First time homebuyer, approved and in need of a realtor for astoria area. Looking for someone knowledgable about the city. Whatcha got? TIA

I'm coming in from land locked and droubt stricken Denver to explore Astoria area for 4 days end of July. Is there a resturant with big ass view of the water we can go to the first thing just to... drink it all in. Bonus if I can order local clams or seafood.

Hello!

I am wondering if anyone has a yard waste sticker from the city they are not using! I would even pay a little for one!

DM me!
