Considering the Best Western Lincoln Inn Astoria in Astoria?

RIVERFRONT by mtncorg
Like the Willamette riverfront in Portland, the waterfront here used to teem with wharfs, docks and mills. With the demise of fishing and timber, those wharfs, docks and mills became empty. Astoria, like Portland has taken the imitative and reinvigorate the silence with a fine walking path that extends the length of the old waterfront area - complete with explanatory exhibits along the way telling the story of Astoria?s past. The Astoria Trolley parallels the walkway for part of the journey. As you walk, remember this whole area was alive - more people lived in Astoria in 1940 than do so here today. Besides getting a sense of what was as you walk, you can gain a simple appreciation of the natural beauty that still exists. Sea lions pop their heads out of the river just offshore. Large and small ships are constantly in movement out on the water. All good reasons to get your feet moving.
