[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 10407469, member: 16283"]I'm with you Mirana,and he captures the lonely faded beauty of this old coastal town well. Eureka was a huge lumber & fishing town for decades til the fish decreased and lumbering slowed-then the economy cooled and froze,hence no large-scale slash & burn redevelopment that leveled much of the Bay Area and So Cal history. Retirees are moving there now from richer parts of California and finding much of the brick and Victorian ambience intact-I hope they manage to preserve it. Dag-We live in a small town just south of Portland now,but I've got a lifetime's worth of Eureka memories. PS-Here's a few shots of Eureka, the first one's a montage of a turn of the century cattle drive thru the middle of Old Town superimposed over the same location today.The second pics just a shot of Old Town at night.
