At the end of the day as you walk down the road
in downtown Oregon City, you might find yourself at
the end of the trail. Specifically, you will find your­
self at the Trail’s End Saloon, depending on which
end you were walking to.
Trail’s End is a decent-looking bar from the
outside and has gone through several renovations,
from serving Chinese food in WWII as “Sam’s Place”
to receiving its current name in 1992. Located just
a few minutes walk from the TriMet transit center,
the saloon is a convenient stop on the way home.
The saloon is a place that has its cast of regulars,
young and old, and that fact is encouraged by the
friendly staff of the saloon, including its manager
Cindy, who is more than willing to come over and
talk about anything regarding the Trail’s End.
The food is fresh and inexpensive with daily spe­
cials such as $3 cheeseburgers and fries on Monday
and $6 fish and chips. To-go orders are available
but are 50 cents extra. Trail’s End cooks up burgers,
sandwiches, salads and steaks, among other dishes.
The Trail’s End Saloon is also known for its live
evening music. Every evening Wednesday to Sunday
the Saloon presents several bands that help pro­
mote itself as a place of blues, such as singer Rae
Gordon who usually sings every Thursday at 7 p.m.
I recommend the Trail’s End Saloon as a nice
place to go during the later part of the week and
relax to blues music and a drink after your classes
on campus.

My server was terrific and always
arrived with a huge smile on her face.
The food was brought to my table in a
surprisingly short period of time.
Stanley’s Corner is set up as both a
family dining restaurant as well as a
bar, with guardrails separating the two
sections to make it obvious where one
ends and the other begins.
The bar is filled with various video
poker machines and a New Age juke­
box that plays pretty much what­
ever song you want to hear. There are
also numerous TVs to watch whatever
sporting event that happens to be on
TV that night. The bar staff is fantas­
tic and quick to get you your order.
The drinks are perfectly balanced
and reasonably priced. If I want a ter­
rific cocktail at a reasonable price,
and a serving of nachos that is enough
to fill even the hungriest person,
Stanley’s Corner will be my first
choice.

Stanley’s Corner is renowned as the
biome of the super nacho. The use of
•the word “super” is well deserved since
each super nacho is more than gigantic;
It is of gargantuan size.
Located in Gladstone, Stanley’s
Serves up huge portions. Unlike most
Restaurants that serve nachos, Stanley’s
layers all of the topping on a separate
plate loaded with beans, meat (chicken
or beef), cheese, salsa, guacamole and
pour cream. The dip is surrounded by
bnore chips that you can usually get in a
[single bag of tortillas chips.
I ordered the mini nacho, which is
said to be perfect for one person but
turned out to be more than I could han­
dle alone< I had also ordered a cheese­
burger with bacon and tater tots. The
burger was fantastic, juicy and per­
fectly prepared. Appetizers range in
>price from $4-$8, and meals range from
