Glendale
     I keep speeding on by the Glendale exit when I go to California bass fishing so I have no pictures.  I am in too much of a hurry going and too tired returning to stop for pictures.  Glendale is a few miles off the interstate so takes a little extra effort to visit.  I do remember, however, playing high school baseball there about 1960.  They had a killer pitcher who could throw a 90 mile per hour fast ball.  I fouled him off three times before he struck me out.  My coach said I did really well.  I never had a chance!
  Good news.  I finally took some pictures of Glendale (fall, 2008). 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.
