Downtown Ferndale Hey Fans! Not so good on our last wayfinding question, although we did appreciate each and every response. But only 8? respondents. How about 30 or more on our final question -- which means THIS is your Final answer.

Question #5

Ditto for the Memorial Day parade. Most years the peaceniks outweigh the war veterans, which is as it should be in America. One day we'll have "Peace Day" to honor the folks that stood up to the military-industrial complex and said get out of Afghanistan. Last year in Ferndale marchers bore the faces and names of dead soldiers, reminding us their souls still live with us, their death still haunts us.

AJ's Cafe. It is a true community place that offers what chains cannot. You'd never see open mic, candidates' forums, the Assembly Line Concert at a chain cafe.

I like the Historical Museum posited by Frank.

I mentioned Hilton Road in the next wayfinding question. I think that area has a lot of potential. Many city's have taken "industrial" and made it cool- I think we can do the same thing.

Let's hope the weather allows the carvings to stay reasonably intact for a while. It's sad when they melt within days.

The historical architecture is great...the older the better.
And even Comos is classy now at more than 50 years old.
Love the fake brick pavers, and the renovated WAB, Loving Touch, and Emory

Finally, just in time for chilly riding, the bike racks are going in. Cutting cement, drilling holes, securing posts -- it all takes time, but it's a job finally underway in Downtown Ferndale.
