Small Business Saturday, Shopping Small and supporting Local in Baker City, Oregon
One of the best ways to experience a community is by visiting the locally owned independent businesses that reflect the unique and local character of the community. This weekend was a great start to what is definitely a different Christmas season. With lots of COVID precautions in place it was great to see so many folks out spreading holiday cheer and supporting local this weekend for black Friday and Small Business Saturday in Downtown Baker City
The small towns of Baker County offer a cornucopia of local and independent small businesses, many featuring locally crafted products that are made in, and in some cases can only be found in Baker County.
Baker City's historic downtown is one of the largest intact turn of the 20th century historic districts in the American West with over 100 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. today the downtown has been lovingly restored and the historic district is now a thriving downtown home to numerous art galleries, restaurants, micro breweries and local independently owned shops, making it the perfect destination for celebrating the holidays and shopping small unique businesses.

Can't help the feeling like my orchard is on life support. It is sad to think that once naturally productive soil has been obliterated by past and current cultural practices.
I will say that since its installation the soil is looking better and the trees are responding well.

Been longing to try the Auburn for a while so when I spotted this one I had a tingle and snapped it up.

New lighting setup? Yes or No?

But with something in the middle.
Multicam isn't the greatest I know, but I'm in the process of making a v2.
Enjoy the fig!

Here's something from the way back machine!
I've been thinking about Comus a bit since ending up there a few days ago looking for trains on UP's Spine Line. I remembered there was an effort to build an ethanol plant near the junction there - Progressive Rail pushed hard for it, and it could have generated traffic for UP, IC&E, or CP, all of whom would have had access there. Through pure dumb luck, I happened to be out on December 29, 2006 - must have been home from college on winter break - and caught PGR dropping this rolling billboard on a siding right next to Highway 3 between Malt-O-Meal and Kwik Trip.
I need to go back and do some digging on what exactly killed the project near Comus, though from reading some of my captions from that time, it looks like it was local opposition (especially with respect to water consumption) and the global economy / gas prices crashing soon thereafter - I even see a mention of other ethanol plants that were under construction at the time getting shut down... so, perhaps PGR dodged a bullet in the end. They (Progressive Rail) threatened to develop a commercial site that couldn't be slowed by regulatory action in lieu of ethanol, should the plans be halted, but I imagine the economy at the time prevented that from happening... along with their large commercial development in Randolph.
In any event, enjoy this shot from a dozen years ago, when MN&S-esque SD39 and SW1500's roamed the rails in Northfield as God intended.

Such is life. It is no cleaner than a kitchen; it reeks like a kitchen; and if you mean to cook your dinner, you must expect to soil your hands; the real art is in getting them clean again, and therein lies the whole morality of our epoch.
