Pier One Theatre.
Pier One Theatre was almost next door to the campground. On the first night, we
decide to drive around the spit just to get familiar. When we passed the theatre,
it was 15 minutes to curtain time. So we bought tickets and had a very good time.
The actors were all local and they did very well.

The Salty Dawg Saloon.
The Salty Dawg opened in 1956. At that time there were not as many tourists, but
many fishermen. They turned on the lamp in the lighthouse whenever they were open
so that fishermen at sea could see that they were open. They also had a CB radio
so the fishermen could call ahead to make sure they would stay open later than normal.
Notice how low the roof is on the main building. That makes it easier to heat in the
winter.

This is something like the Sign Post Forest, customers write on dollar bills and tack
them to the walls and ceiling.

Notice the low ceilings and the wood chips on the floor.

Homer has a brewery and it uses a unique beer bottle.
The beer tasted pretty good.
