The Cameo in Newberg is my favourite venue for movie-watching.
Chilly in the winter, hot in the summer.
But full of character and wonderful ornate details in the decorating.
Gotta love these light fixtures.
It is worth the extra dollar to sit in the loges.
Kick back and put your feet up.
We won't mention the archaic toilets.
Plus, you ALWAYS see someone you know.
On Friday night we went to a free 4th of July concert at the historic Liberty Theatre in downtown Astoria, courtesy of the North Coast Symphonic Band.
Do you get the feeling that EVERYTHING in Astoria is historic?
The Liberty is almost 100 years old and, like everything else in Astoria, has been the subject of restoration. The moldings inside are incredible. I'm not sure that these photos do it justice.
One of the best numbers of the evening was a medley of all of the songs of the armed forces. The announcer asked the families of members of each branch to stand as the anthem was played.
We stood for Edwin...Army Airborne.
Shout out to Edwin!
Then we stood for Charlie...Proud Marines!
And stayed standing for Jeff and the Coastguard.
Proud to be American and grateful to all those who made it possible.
