ARTIST’S SKETCHBOOK
GONE
GOONIE
A
rtist Noel Thomas offers his insightful take on
Goonies weekend in this series of sketches for The
Daily Astorian.
The 30th anniversary celebration of “The Goonies”
brought thousands to Astoria and the North Coast. Fans
of the cult classic were able to relive many of the scenes

Thomas captures a line of fans snaking out of the
old Clatsop County Jail, the backdrop for the opening
scene of the movie; a Goonie in a Sloth mask; a look at
the commerce tied to the celebra-
tion; and the popular Astoria
Clowns car.
Noel Thomas is an Astoria
artist whose work may be seen
and purchased at the
RiverSea Gallery, 1160

call last week. And, we hope a high-speed chase did not ensue
after the tractor theft.
Follow reporter Kyle Spurr on his 9-1-What? Twitter watch, where
a few of the sometimes head-scratching calls to area dispatch take
centerstage. The full feed is at www.twitter.com/9_1_WHAT.
