Day Twelve
The last time I was in Astoria was with my friend, Matt. We took a road trip through Oregon with a strategic stop over in Astoria. Astoria was the location used in the film, Kindergarten Cop: Matt was a big fan 
of the movie. That was 6 years ago and the town had fallen onto hard times when the fishing industry collapsed. A number of businesses had closed in the downtown area and the ones that remained were mostly thrift and second-hand stores.
I'm happy to report that Astoria is experiencing a small renaissance. Since my last visit, a number of upper-scale restaurants and hotels have opened. Most appear to be doing well and we could barely walk through the Sunday Market because of the crowds. It's a lovely town and I wish them all the best.
