THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 2016
‘Now that it’s offi cially summer, what is your favorite summer activity?’
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“That’s a hard one,
because I work a lot in
the summer, but it is
not my favorite thing
to do. But I love the
long evenings. It gives
me a chance to do some-
thing other than work.”
“I’d say sightseeing
with my family. We
make trips to Seaside
and Cannon Beach,
and we like the Sunday
Market and walking on
the Riverwalk. We like to
keep it local.”
“Staying out of the
sun. I just moved
into a new place,
and this summer
I’ll just be getting
everything wrangled
into place. And, I like to
go to the cinema.”
