Goonies never say…read more..... Some movies are classics. I will forever love watching the Goonies. It has always been one of my favorites. The fact it was made in my home state of Oregon just makes it a little bit more awesome. Being in Astoria on vacation made this house a bucket list item. We didn't need to look through the windows at what the new owners had done. Or take items. There is a donation box. Please help pay for the constant vandalism. There was a time a previous owner had stopped access for obvious reasons. Let's try and respect the current owner and not keep the true fans from enjoying a bit of Oregon movie history. Just being in front of this actual lived in house from the Goonies movie is amazing. I really enjoyed thinking about all the movie scenes and how cool it would have been to be on set for filming. So much history. I know we've seen it already but I can't wait to see it up close again.

I've probably seen The Goonies movie about 50 times in my life. While in Astoria, we decided to…read morecome by to check out the house. It was pretty easy to research and map out how to get here. It's in a neighborhood on a private driveway. Be sure to not park in their driveway or the neighbor's spot. You can park in the neighborhood somewhere and walk up. There's a sign at the bottom of the driveway too, the owners know people will come by to take photos etc, so they aren't bothered by it. Just be respectful and you'll be fine. For any inconvenience, they put out a donation bin if you want to drop a few dollars for coming by. Cool to see the house that I admired as a little kid. Glad to have come by to snap a few photos and see it in person. We walked the neighborhood too, we were out of there in like 20 mins. Childhood memory fulfilled.

Parking was scary because there is only one spot and it felt like we were going to fall off the edge of the woods, so beware! lol It was very easy to find on both Apple Maps and in general due to the colorful appearance of the trolls. I thought it was really cool and random which is exactly what I wanted to experience. Overall, totally recommend if you happen to be in these neck of the woods. Not sure if it is worth going out of your way to visit, but it totally cures some boredom if you want something to do right outside of the city.

If you use the coordinates from here please note you'll need to go a little pass the called out spot because at first I don't I missed it. Only two vehicles can successfully park on the side.

They carry an impressive collection of rare and unusual plants, including one of the best selections of Japanese maples I've seen anywhere. What makes this place stand out is that it's not just a nursery--it feels like a botanical garden you can explore. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly care about plants, soil health, and helping people find the right plants for their space. Every visit I discover something new. If you love gardens, rare plants, or Japanese maples, Lael's Moon Garden is absolutely worth the trip.

In my esteem, the St. John's Bridge is the most beautiful bridge in all of Portland. Prior to the…read morebridge, the neighborhood of St. John's was served by a ferry and the construction of the bridge began just a month before the stock market crash of 1929. The bridge was built in 21 months and even one million under budget. Government officials waited until St. Patrick's Day 1931 to proclaim the bridge would be painted green. The bridge dedication ceremony was postponed until the 23rd annual Rose Festival on June 13, 1931. The bridge is a suspension style, at 2067 feet long, and 400 feet high. It's a Portland Historic Landmark and underneath you will also find stunning views from Cathedral Park. 2025 - Review # 17

St. John's Bridge? Oh, now that's a sight that makes my little beaver heart thump like a tail on…read morewater. Those tall green towers stretchin' up into the sky, all graceful like cedar trees in a morning mist--just beautiful. And the way the bridge arches over the river? Why, it casts the nicest shade for an afternoon float. The water beneath is calm enough for a good paddle, and the banks are full of fine lookin' plants--perfect for a snack or two if you know where to nibble. And let me tell you, the breeze that drifts under that bridge? Cool, quiet, and peaceful... just the way us woodland folk like it. If you're lookin' for a place to sit by the water, watch the sun touch the treetops, or just listen to the soft current drift by, St. John's Bridge is the kind of spot that makes you feel lucky to share the forest!

The trident wielding woman is enormous and is awe inspiring and beautiful and perhaps to a certain kind of man perhaps intimidating but that isn't necessarily a problem there. This statue is on the Portland Building and if you simply wall by or near it's nearly impossible to miss. This is also an attraction where there is no fee to take a look at it as it can literally be seen quite easily from the public sidewalk. Yet another iconic downtown Portland landmark that is not to missed!
