Stageworks Northwest puts out excellent theater with talented casts and crews. Impressed that there…read moreis amazing theater in Longview. Most people think you have to go to either Portland or Seattle for good live theater. But sandwiched between those cities is Longview And there they have the Columbia Theater for the Performing Arts. And one block down is Stageworks Northwest. Stageworks Northwest calls the old Longview Theater their home and the place is being restored. The plays and musicals there are creative with a good variety. Set design is excellent and acting, singing and dancing is delightful as well. All for a price that doesn't break the bank. I just saw a Rodgers and Hammerstein review which was 2 hours of great music. Before that, I watched a drama about 2 war photographers trying to adjust to life back home. And before that I was at a science fiction musical that used old rock and roll tunes mixed with space. All of them so well done. Stageworks Northwest is a cool place and I highly recommend it.

We had the best conversations with the wine maker and asst winemaker, who are also the owners. Very real, raw and down to Earth.

Only issue was she had to balance people walking in from inside the market, several outside tables like mine and retail transactions. It was too much. Also, it was odd to me that I didn't get new glasses for each taste. She would just fill my same glass 5 times. It was barely one sip's worth. So, I would recommend not doing the very time consuming tasting and just order one glass. You can bring food truck food and eat it with your beverages which is nice since they only have small bites (cheese, nuts, olives etc) to order. Anyway, sweet family place and each wine was actually surprisingly good. Will be back.

While checking out McMenamin's next door, we decided to stop into the Port of Kalama Interpretive…read moreCenter, which is located within the Port of Kalama Administrative Offices. We weren't sure what to expect at first, but it ended up being a pleasant surprise. The center does a great job of telling the story of how transportation shaped the settlement and growth of Kalama. From the early days of river travel and shipping on the Columbia, to the railroads that connected the region to the rest of the country, you really get a sense of how vital this area was in the development of commerce and community in southwest Washington. One of the main highlights inside is the full-size 1917 Northern Pacific Steam Locomotive on display. Seeing it up close was incredible--the sheer size and detail make you appreciate just how massive and powerful these machines were during their operating years. Standing beside it, you can almost imagine the noise, steam, and energy it must have carried through town over a century ago. The exhibits are well put together, with historic photographs, artifacts, and informative displays that bring the past to life in an easy-to-follow way. It's the kind of place that both history buffs and casual visitors can enjoy. The center itself is also clean, spacious, and well maintained, which made for a comfortable visit. Overall, this was a really cool and unexpected experience. If you're already in Kalama--whether you're dining at McMenamin's, exploring the waterfront, or just passing through--it's absolutely worth taking the time to stop in. We would definitely recommend checking it out when you're in the area.
