Glendale is still a mill town, one of the few left in Oregon.  Each end of town has a large prosperous sawmill operation. The downtown is, however, dominated by the main north-south rail line, and even has a small switching yard.  One side of main street is the railroad, and the other side is the commercial district.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Glendale&state=OR&country=US&latitude=42.736401&longitude=-123.422203&geocode=CITY" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Glenda"><U><B>Area Map</B></U></A><A HREF="http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Glendale&state=OR&country=US&latitude=42.736401&longitude=-123.422203&geocode=CITY" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Glenda"><U><B>   </B></U></A><B>   Zoom to street level map</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id691.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Glendale Welcome Sign"><U>Glendale Welcome Sign</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id692.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Glendale City Hall"><U>Glendale City Hall</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id693.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Morningstar coffee house"><U>Morningstar coffee house</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id694.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Glendale Downtown"><U>Glendale Downtown</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id695.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Glendale Restaurant"><U>Glendale Restaurant</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id696.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Glendale High School"><U>Glendale High School</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id697.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Glendale Mill"><U>Glendale Mill</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id698.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Clear Cut Ridge"><U>Clear Cut Ridge</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id699.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Unloading logs"><U>Unloading logs</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id700.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Glendale Log Truck"><U>Glendale Log Truck</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id701.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Glendale Mill"><U>Glendale Mill</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id702.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Glendale City Park"><U>Glendale City Park</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id703.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Residential area"><U>Residential area</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id704.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Glendale Tracks"><U>Glendale Tracks</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id705.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Glendale Pullman"><U>Glendale Pullman</U></A></div> </td> <td valign="top" width=150 BGCOLOR="#0066CC" TEXT="#080000"> <div> <IMG SRC="c415ae00.jpg" border=0 width="90" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
