The city park has a splendid little fountain on the pattern of Portland's "Northwest Rain" fountain at the Rose Garden, only smaller.  I will try to get photos of the fountain and some hop fields next summer (2001) (still haven't done it, 2009).  While many people happily drink beer few actually know what a hop plant looks like.</FONT></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://maps.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=mmvw&msds=E3D7F309$E4$FE$36w$F0$FC$36w94!L0$0B0Oregon.City20OR!60!4$FF000!8$FF!60$8D$9Dl$DA$F7$ADF$40$9A$28$DF$BF$3B$A6$5E$C0$320001000B000$F0$5F!70$14000!4$FF00$AA$2B$9F$E5y$EEQ$C0$E6$40$0F$B5m$FBT$C010" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://maps.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qs"><U>Area Map</U></A>      <A HREF="http://maps.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=mmvw&msds=A05A3FFA$E4$FE$36w$F0$FC$36w94!L0$0B0Oregon.City20OR!60!4$FF000!8$FF!60$8D$9Dl$DA$F7$ADF$40$9A$28$DF$BF$3B$A6$5E$C030001000B000$F0$5F!70$14000!4$FF00$AA$2B$9F$E5y$8ER$C0xeXG$924U$C010" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://maps.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qs"><U>Street Map</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0c693e00.jpg" border=0 width="659" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Hubbard doesn't have many tall building, just the grass seed processing plants, but we snapped this photo just because it looked so out of place. The city water tower is surrounded by scaffolding during repainting December of 2000.  At first they had it all covered with plastic but a windy winter storm took care of that!</div> </td> <td valign="top" width=150 BGCOLOR="#0066CC" TEXT="#080000"> <bR> <bR> <div> .</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
