View down Main Street in Santa Cruz

While walking down Santa Cruz’s 3 block Main Street, I noticed a guy standing next to a pick up truck holding a fishing pole. I asked him, “What do you catch out there?”

He said, “Mostly Striped Bass. I’m out here to take my girlfriend’s kids fishing.”

Then he put his hand on my shoulder, looked me in the eye and said, “But if you had caught me 5 years ago, I would have been out here sidewalk fishing.”

We’re on our way to see Ian, our Big Sky Producer. He said we had to stop in Lincoln, the town where the unabomber lived. The only people we saw were through the a propped-open bar door and a guy locking up the ice chest outside a gas station.

And some of the best neon all trip.

We could not resist a town named Moscow in northern Idaho.

There is a long Main Street in Portland proper. But we opted to take a quick peek at this Main Street right outside the city limits in Milwaukie, where the city stores all it’s transportation vehicles (including it’s de-icers). This light industrial zone was also home to a nest of birds atop this tower.
