I love Silverton. I've never gone to the car show at the Oregon Gardens, have you? I'm going to try and make it this year.
Yes, are you refering to the "Roses and Roadsters"? We also have another one downtown at the city park on the First Saturday of August every year. To add to that....starting in May we have a cruise every first Friday of the month until October downtown to add to the city's festiv "First Fridays" event. A couple of downtown blocks are completly shut off to traffic and reserved for Hot Rods only....about 60 or so cars each time.
You don't happen to be the Landlord at an apartment complex in Portland are ya?? There's a man who parks his 56 Lincoln Premiere there at times. It's a Salmon color. Very Pretty.
I went through my junior year in High School in Forest Grove. It used to be 27 miles to Portland I guess they must have straightened the highway out since then.
Last time I was there Scotty's drive In was still open, old scotty was gone though. they had one of my old hub caps hung on the wall. Do they still have 3/10s marked off down the road past the old cemetery behind the old high school?
P&B -I'm not sure about the 3/10s but I will have to go out and look. man sounds like the portlanders are coming out of the wood work. Do I smell a meet up coming on, maybe down town for beers?

Well I'll be just across the river in June if anyone wants to meet up for a cocktail and a chat or maybe a bowl of oyster stew down at the old Oyster House. Oh cross the bridge at the bottom of the hill then find your way about another 1/8 mile if I recall out on the straight stretch.
