The making of Lincoln City's 51st Street...

... has been going on for a long long time. It's at the south end of town where the Siletz Bay goes into the ocean.

First the Indians settled there - and why not. It is a few feet from the ocean, a few feet from the bay with woods and creeks and rivers all around.

Then the home steaders settled there - and why not. It is a few feet from the ocean, a few feet from the bay with woods and creeks and rivers all around.

Now visitors are discovering it - and why not. It is a few feet from the ocean, a few feet from the bay with woods and creeks and rivers all around - plus - motels, restaurants, shops, galleries and a place you can rent crab rings or blow your own glass float.

It used to be a quiet little place called Taft but now as 51st Street, it's a happenin' place to be. Take a tip from me, winter is a good time to go there.
