NOTE: I have not collected live shells since the mid-1970's. I believe that the animal itself is much more valuable alive than destroyed for its shell. It is for this reason that I will now only collect beach/forest shells from deceased specimens.

ASHEVILLE NC: A long forgotten brand that was introduced [I BELIEVE] circa 1910 by American Tobacco Co. in Durham NC. Not much remains of the brand aside from the odd ghost sign found on brick walls in North Carolina.

 

An interesting bit of trivia: Back in the day, Piedmont was one of 16 brands that included a free baseball card with each pack. Today, the Honus Wagner card sells for BIG bucks.

 

In 2000, eBay sold one for $1,265,000. In February 2007, the same card went for a record $2,350,000. Seven months later, it sold again for $2,800,000.

Bueno queridos amigos aqui les dejo esta trivia. Como buen conocedores de las aves no deben de tener ningun problema en identificar con lo que se muestra, la especie de ave y al flor en la que se encuentra.

We made a little card game of NYC trivia to include in the welcome bags for the out of town guests.

Dan & Louis Oyster Bar is a seafood restaurant in Portland, Oregon described by Fodor's as a "Portland landmark".[1] As its name implies, it specializes in oysters — from Yaquina Bay and beyond — served raw and in an oyster stew the restaurant has been known for since 1919.

 

The restaurant has been in business since 1907 when it was founded by Louis C. Wachsmuth as a raw oyster bar. Louis was the son of Meinert Wachsmuth, a Danish immigrant who had farmed his own oyster beds on Yaquina Bay.[2][3] The bay became the home of a farm, the oldest in Oregon,[4] established to provide the oyster bar with a regular supply of oysters.[3]

 

The menu was expanded in 1919 when Wachsmuth took over the food bar of the Merchant's Exchange Saloon. Dining rooms were added in 1937 and 1940.[5] The restaurant remains under Wachsmuth family ownership into the 21st century, and is currently operated by Doug Wachsmuth, along with his son, Meinert Keoni Wachsmuth.

 

Dan & Louis Oyster Bar is located in Old Town, at 208 SW Ankeny Street, within a block of Voodoo Doughnut and about ten blocks east of Powell's City of Books.

 

Trivia

A descendant of Meinert Wachsmuth, Cory Schreiber, began his restaurant career at Dan & Louis (at the age of 11); years later, he founded his own Portland-based restaurant (Wildwood) and won a James Beard Foundation Award for his cuisine.[2]

U.S. Senator Mark Hatfield held his 1984 re-election celebration at Dan & Louis.[6]
