Cannon Beach

In September 1846 the U.S. survey schooner Shark sank at the mouth of the Columbia River. Part of the wreckage, with three small cannons attached, floated southward and washed up within a month of the disaster near present-day Arch Cape. Finally, in 1922, local residents successfully petitioned for the post office to be called "Cannon Beach."

Newmans at 988

I must have driven by Newmans 988 in Cannon Beach more than 200 times during my visits to the Oregon Coast. It’s so easy when you are at the coast to hit the food staples, of the crab shacks and long-time restaurants like Mo’s.

What I had missed in the little yellow farmhouse along Hemlock Street was some of the best food I have ever eaten.

Once Upon A Breeze

Like any good entrepreneur,  DK Smith had an idea around 40 years ago, one that people weren’t sure was going to work.

Kites.

“When he opened the store, a lot of people laughed at him when he opened his shop,” said John Fraser, owner of Once Upon a Breeze.

The name of the shop, which opened in 1975, was the product of a naming contest in the small coastal city, Fraser said. The shop has the distinction of being the oldest kite shop on the Oregon coast, and for good reason, Fraser and his staff are experts at anything attached to a string that catches the wind.
