I hope they don’t think because were from California they have to raise gas prices.
Got some salsa at the vegetable stand and had to go back and buy another one since the one I brought was too hot.
On our way to Myrtly Point we stopped by the Art building to check out what price they charge for art lessons. They seem to be real reasonable at $6.00 per day. Helen would only be going there once or twice a week to improve her skills. Great idea will keep her busy and she can learn something in the process.
We went to Myrtle Point again this time too look for any potential homes in the town did not see too much most of the homes in that area look pretty old. There is some pretty nice property west of town but looking at it real close I think its in a flood plain. The population of Myrtle Point is only there is around 2,490 which is pretty small in size. They do however have two grocery stores MacKay’s & a small Safeway. It’s really an old town which is pretty much a ghost town now. Looking at it in its hay days it was pretty much a logging town and when that went somewhat belly up. Diary cattle seem to be one of the main resources in that community in fact I think the whole Coquille valley is pretty much live stock and lumber. It was probably great when they had the Cheese Factory in Bandon but since Tillamook Cheese brought them out and closed the factory I am sure that hurt the local community, The Main Street appears to roll up the sidewalks at 8 in the evenings.
Myrtle Point was incorporated in Coos County in 1893. Primarily a farming community, it was named for the abundant groves of Oregon myrtlewood trees and its prominent geographical location above the Coquille River.
