Exciting Day in Waldport!

My youngest daughter said that she enjoyed seeing the changes taking place in town. Since I had shopping to do today, I took my camera with me and was rewarded. NORMALLY, the most exciting thing in town is going down to watch the truck rust. (True picture. Today it was parked at what used to be Clark's Market. ANOTHER change. Clark's Market is now Alsea Bay Market. You have to take notes on all the changes - Can't keep track without a score card!)
TODAY was the day the power company decided to take down the old power poles! You can see them dropping the electric lines in the foreground.
And one by one they were taking down the old ugly, wooden power poles. Our street lights used to be attached to the poles - like the one across the street - tilted. Our NEW street light are in the foreground.
Here are some of the downtown improvements: benches along the sidewalk, the bakery has added some cafe tables outside, and you can see the empty planters they are installing.
