Old Town Florence, OR.

                                Saturday 6/30/2012

On our last day in Florence, OR., we decided to go to Old Town in Florence.

We cross the Siuslaw River Bridge again to get to Old Town. It is a Art Deco style bridge.

Historic Old Town was a 1900s fishing village built along the Siuslaw River.

We decided to have lunch at the well known Oregon Coast restaurant Mo's.

Mo's is  located at several locations along the Oregon coast.

Mo's serves their World Famous Clam Chowder, so of course I had to try it. It was good, but in my opinion the "Maine Diner", in Wells Beach, ME. still has the BEST Clam Chowder!

Joe had the Oyster stew and thought is was ok.

From Mo's you can see the Siuslaw River Bridge.

The Siuslaw River Bridge has more personallity than your average bridge.

The Siuslaw River Bridge replaced ferry service in 1936.

The Siuslaw River Bridge is 1568 feet long.

Old Town has a lot of fun shops and boutiques. It also has lot of eateries mostly at the south end of the main shopping street.

In one of the shops there was a bee hive that was built inside the shop.

The bees came in and out as they pleased through the pipe that went directly out doors. Of course they also sold honey products.
