r/Astoria_Oregon

Hey! Me and 2 friends are visiting from England just for one night next Thursday, we want to meet people and go out drinking so has anyone got any recommendations for that? Or want to join us, also any food recs would be great too thank you

My husband and I will be visiting 5/24-5/25 and would love to get a tattoo while we are down there (not matching, no worries y’all). Do you have any artists you recommend in the area that do black and grey realism?

Local hero please fix the signage at this intersection!!! The westbound on Olney “oncoming traffic does not stop” sign is INACCURATE!! It’s BOTH oncoming AND right turns off 7th into your lane.

Please hometown hero take a pickaxe to the sign. Or please hometown hero add a sign below the existing sign explaining the structure of the intersection. It’s too confusing for us pigeon-brained plebeians to navigate!!!

Do any of yall watch that Andy Ward from YouTube? He takes dirt from the ground & actually refines it into real, usable pottery clay! I currently live in north GA, where natural clay is beyond plentiful. I plan on moving here sometime in the next 2 years, as soon as I save enough to survive♡ Will I be able to continue my crafts? And! If it's a yes; what color of clay is it?

I know this is a long shot, a rarity to find somebody that would know, but I'd figure I'd ask anyway. Especially since the main Oregon sub is kinda anti-touristy right now... :/

I know everyone wants to be supportive of the brewery because it's a local business, it employs a lot of people, it brings a lot of tourism, and it's cool. Beer is cool.

And astorian citizens are polite, accommodating, and wouldn't say anything. Even if it was driving then absolutely insane.

So, I'll do it. I'll say something.

That brewery is a full on industrial process, happening in the middle of a residential neighborhood and wildlife area.

It offgasses byproducts from this industrial process into the air, as pollution, with clearly no filtration or mitigation.

Bad smells are pollution, guys. I don't care if it's acid fumes that will melt your lungs, or beer smells that melt down your property values.

I know it's deeply expensive to fix it.

It's worth it. Please do it. Please fix it as soon as possible. You're making a mistake.

Thank you.

So, I’m taking a solo trip to Astoria Oregon for my 24th birthday (as the title suggests). I fly into Portland tomorrow morning (May 1st), and am renting a car to drive to and stay in Astoria for about 5 days.

I’m looking for any suggestions on places I should visit and things to do. I’m an almost 24 year old single guy who loves reading, hiking, coffee shops, nature, and gaming. I love museums, appreciating art and music, and meeting new people. Any recommendations for fun activities are enocouraged! Any fun jazz bars in the area? Any places to meet young adults my age? Let me know! I’d love to have reasons to go back to the area, so I feel making friends would be a great place to start.

Thank you!

Has anyone else seen the lovely sex doll wearing a construction vest hanging on a sign poll?

It’s literally right by the homeless camp.

Drove by and she looks like she’s soliciting sex.

Also if this post gets removed be for real Astoria isn’t the cute little tourist town it use to be.

Anyone have any good recommendations for affordable hotels or Airbnbs in or near Astoria? Wanting to go in the begging of June. Also want to bring my pup too so gotta be dog friendly. Thanks all!
