If dreariness was a postcard, it would certainly be Vernonia. Funny thing though, when driving anywhere along the roads to and from the coast, there are an abundance of Department of Transportation signs pointing motorists towards that poor beleaguered town, as if to say, "Come visit this vital tourist stop!"
Once upon a time, it was a major part of Oregon's logging industry, but if you know the evil that killed it, you know a lot about what's going on.
I absolutely LOVE Veronica Oregon. About 8 years ago my family was rolling around in a dumpy old RV looking for work for my kid's father and we stayed for a bit in Vernonia at the city owned RV park. Last time we were there, they were closing it down and all the people who lived there were being forced to relocate, which was really sad, but it was such a nice and friendly little town.
