Coos Bay. How do you like it?

[Fenderman]

I have lived in Tennessee, Texas, Michigan, and Oklahoma and Coos Bay caught my attention several years back. I like the terrain and of course the ocean and the bay. The Oregon Connection was a nice place to visit to see all of the nice things made from myrtle trees.
I would like to live in Coos Bay someday during my retirement years.

I got hot at the Mill Bay Casino in town which was an added bonus See my pictures of Coos Bay and the Central & South Coast on my site Jason's Oregon Photoblog Introduction

Check out the photos--they are the next best thing to a tour of Oregon for those of us who can't be there right now.

--Thanks Hawkbacker!

Allow me to be the first then please, Oregonbeachlover, because I hate it here.

I LOVE it here. Here it is, early November, and I just got back from a long walk along the cliffs and on the beach. Bare feet in the sand, jeans and a t-shirt, hardly a breeze and clear as could be. LOVE IT HERE!!

we stoped by this town 7/3/09 and spent about 4 hrs there on our way to bandon.
I liked it as we drove by the airport a united express puddle jumper crossed right over our heads on approch to land. so we checked out the airport wow nice! to bad it costs a small fortune to fly there from SFO.
so we went from there to look at some new homes out on kentucky ave area... $240k nice homes but the area was kind of exposed/to open for my tastes. we looked at homes on the hills near that area and the homes were nice and well established areas I'm sure we just scrached the surface as far as neighborhoods in the area. we spent some time downtown in some antique shops and had some nice conversations with the owners time was running out and it was time to go south for our stay at the windermere in bandon. oh we stoped and shoped for food on our way out of town I think it was a safeway the store was fine good selection of all goods.what I'm saying is I really liked the town of coos bay I just want to spend more time there and I want to see all the neighborhoods. and get a true feel for the area. thanx eric
p.s. we are coming back 12/29/09 for a vacation.

Im so glad you liked it!! I love living here!!! when you come down in December, go to Shore Acres to look at the Christmas lights. They are really really neat! Google Shore Acres State park and you'll get an idea. But its a surreal experience when you can be there, going through it, drinking hot cider, listening to the caroling, and hearing the waves crashing behind it all....
have a safe trip when you come back in December!!
