On our tour of Fort Bragg galleries, we stopped by the Partners Gallery. There were some very nice…read morepieces, in particular some done in papier mache, and one very nice work that involved paint and what appeared to be a very old and dilapidated window, with panes in various states of well-being. We had a nice conversation with the partner in the gallery about her art and about other things artistic, and enjoyed the visit very much.

My wife and I walked in here on a whim, just spending time in Fort Bragg and it was the most…read moreenjoyable thing we did while in town. The photographs are amazing! There are at least 3 photographers whose work is sold here, as well as some excellent pottery (the potter is married to one of the photographers, and their young child has some of his paintings for sale). The prices seem very reasonable. We really enjoyed looking at the photographs and talking with the person in charge of the store that day. He was knowledgeable not just of his own photographs, but also of the others. While I was amazed at the artistic ability reflected in almost all of the photographs, I was especially enthralled with wave images by, I think Jon Klein. This isn't on the Main Street so it could easily be missed, but I'm so glad we stumbled across it.

Unfortunately, I wanted to share feedback from a recent visit to the NOYO Center for Marine Science…read moreduring our trip to FB. After seeing a post on Instagram, we were excited to visit and planned our afternoon around arriving at 2:30 p.m. on a Friday. Although the posted hours were 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., we found the Center closed with a sign indicating it would reopen at 3:10 p.m. We waited, ordering a smoothie at a nearby shop and returned shortly after reopening. Upon entering, I noticed the "No food or drinks" sign. Wanting to respect that policy, I asked the staff member at the front desk if there was a trash can where I could dispose of my smoothie cup. Rather than directing me to a nearby receptacle, she instructed me to use a public trash can outside and then began lecturing me about single-use plastics after noticing my disposable cup. The interaction was abrupt, unsolicited, and delivered in a tone that felt dismissive rather than welcoming. After locating a public trash can several storefronts away, I returned hoping to put the interaction behind us. While we were browsing the front area, the same staff member went outside to address a family near the entrance. From inside the Center, her tone and gestures appeared more like a reprimand than a courteous request, creating an atmosphere that felt unwelcoming. When I approached the desk to purchase admission, I mentioned that I work for a large land conservation organization that restores habitats, builds trails, protects open space, and supports sustainable agriculture. I told her, "We're on the same team." I shared that not because I expected different treatment, but because it underscored an important point: every visitor deserves to be treated with courtesy and respect, regardless of their background or profession. Staff members are often the public face of an organization's mission, and the way they interact with visitors directly influences how that mission is perceived. This experience did not diminish our support for marine conservation or the important work your organization does. However, it did leave us with a negative impression of the Center and, unfortunately, reflected poorly on the organization as a whole. I hope this feedback is received in the constructive spirit in which it is intended, as I believe a welcoming visitor experience is essential to building lasting public support for your mission.

FANTASTIC LYS! Oh how I would love for this to be MY local yarn shop! First off - tons and tons…read moreand tons of stuff. Everything you could need for knitting (or crocheting). On top of having everything you could need - the owner/woman working the day we went (Tuesday morning) was super friendly. Not at all stuck up and completely helpful if you need help while laying off if you don't. They had sales bins (20% and 50%) they had shelves of yarn that reached the ceilings in 4 different rooms of the shop. They had an entire Rowan section. Tons of Berroco. Some Debbie Bliss (yarn and a good selection of books). Noro. Manos del Uruguay. Nashua. A few finished objects littering the store. There was even a substantial selection of books and magazines and patterns off in yet ANOTHER side room. GREAT place. We were really impressed!

The grounds and the flowers are beautiful. They also have a huge log slice out in the garden area for you to take a picture, to show you how big those massive trees used to be. The home has been very well preserved and they have rooms filled with artifacts from the area as well as pictures and stories. If you're just walking down Main Street and doing some shopping and you see the sign is open walk up the walkway. You won't be disappointed and it's free.

Very happy with my latest experience visiting the Guest House Museum. My fiancé and I visited this…read moreafternoon today and were welcomed in by John. He was kind and very knowledgeable. We learned some of the history of the guest house and how it was originally built as the official residence for the Union Lumber Company (formerly knows as the Fort Bragg Lumber Company). I really appreciate the knowledge John shared with us. The Guest House Museum is run by volunteers, there is no entree fee but they do accept donations. Inside you can also purchase postcards, pins, magnets, books, and more. There is lots to see at this museum. I highly recommend stopping by and seeing this amazing piece of history.
