I lived in Portland from 1954-57 and this sure brings back a lot of great memories...Thanks for posting.

This is beautiful and back when Oregon was a true, undiscovered paradise. It seems like up until about 2010, nobody cared that this place even existed but now, we're facing an invasion.

[@Mr.Studies9599]

[@wadecollins5616]

Beautiful Oregon

[@Steadno]

a rare gem!

[@Titanius_Anglesmith.]

Born in Grants Pass. There was nothing like running around in the mountains and woods as a kid.

Reflect on Tom McCall and his efforts with our beautiful coast.

[@patricknorton5788]

I don't want to go back to much in the era depicted here, but McCall's beach access law is a legacy that apparently can't be replicated in modern times. After living in Oregon for thirty years I can't believe that private citizens can own the land down below the low-tide line and (in freshwater) below low river level. Barbaric otherwise. I am spoiled by Oregon, never want to live anywhere else. Of course, other states could enact similar laws, but they won't.

This is so cool! The older man sounds like Dr. Benton Quest.

[@ivydss1]

This is amazing!

[@jeffreynelson2660]

Great. But probably 1940's judging by the cars. No 1950's cars in sight. Very nostalgic. I know most of those places.

[@jarelnomeh2345]

Wow, what a great place this state was.

enjoyed this

[@GH-oi2jf]

Interesting that the narrator said “Astor Column.” That was what we called it when I lived near it in the 1950s. Today, it is called the “Astoria Column.” The local historians say that the latter is historically correct, but it still sounds wrong to me. By the way, the “Astor” was Vincent, not John Jacob.

[@chadparsons1972]

I'm 50 and lived in Oregon all my life always called it Astor column

[@dutchman063]

Those old wooden strawberry flats sure brings back memories

[@1matsg]

So sad how much my home state changed into a hellhole and why I had to leave.

@@thejwproject7593 When it comes to the scenery and legal marijuana yes Oregon is great but when it comes to taxes, cost of living, the politics and the annoying hippies and homeless people in Portland I say Oregon sucks

[@thejwproject7593]

Julio Moreta yep Oregon is a great state!

[@GH-oi2jf]

The Jackson Winfrey Project - It was. It seems to be run by morons these days.

The sea is a frontier we can't change ? Ouch! Plastic, Oil & Fukushima Oh My !!!

[@sodality3970]

This was back in the truly "good old days" . We aren't allowed to enjoy the natural wealth of this region much anymore , due to the influx of cheap goods and high regulations by our government overlords .

[@oop4841]

Sad. This beautiful land is now corrupted.
