Ooops posted to soon

My last post I had posted it to soon. Maybe it wasn't a oops the post was getting a little long.



We always called it the North Bend Bridge but that never has been it's name. It started out as the Coos Bay Bridge. It is 5,305-foot steel cantilever truss bridge, desigend by master bridge engineer Conde B. McCullough, was the longest structure on Oregon’s highway system when constructed in 1936. It was Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works Project 932. After Conde B. McCullough passed away in 1946 it was renamed for him. Most of the bridge's on the Oregon Coast were designed by Mr. McCullough. These bridges and Hwy 101 are the only direct route North and South on the Oregon Coast.

Just a few of the building downtown Coos Bay.

This was one of the banks in Coos Bay when I was a kid, nine years a go it part of it was a bar now it stands empty.




This is the Candler Hotel Building, There used to be a coffee shop on the ground floor and it was a big treat to go in there. One day it closed and for years the table were set the salt and pepper shakers the sugar were there. It was always a little spooky it was like a restaurant for the ghost's.




This was the Hub the best store in the Bay Area. If you got to buy something in there it was special.

When I met Brian he lived upstairs in the white building they called it a hotel but it was a few steps up from a flop house, ok not that bad but pretty darn close.


OK now the post is done.
