Now and then I wonder if anything will ever be done with the long-closed Albany restaurant property at 3225 Santiam Hwy. S.E., less than a block from Interstate 5.
When you drive north on Interstate 5 and come to Exit 228, you’re already in Albany. For years now, I have wondered why the Oregon Department of Transportation does not say so on its sign.
Airport Road in Albany is not on one of my regular bicycle routes. I went there Saturday to have a look at a tent.
The news in Oregon has been full of reports on the fatal dangers of the illegal use of fentanyl, but I had never seen a picture of what a fentanyl pill looks like.
For more than a decade now, travelers on I-5 have enjoyed the convenience of a large and well kept rest stop at Exit 99 in Canyonville. For that we can thank the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians.
A reader noticed construction activity right next to the southbound Albany freeway off-ramp that feeds into Airport Road.
Muddy Creek solar project asks more time
Driving up I-5 toward Albany the other day, I saw banners in the fields on the right with the word “Solar.” At freeway speed, I could not make out the rest. But whatever happened to the proposal to build the “Muddy Creek Energy Park” in that vicinity?
