Check. Flippant observations
about the colorful townsfolk?
Double check.
But the part of me that
sees Astoria as an adopted
home can’t help wondering
why, if Korfhage had to write
about our town, he chose to
cast it, fi rst and foremost, as
a place to get hammered. He
delivers this bottom line rea-
sonably well, to be sure, but
it’s a piece shaped, and nec-
essarily limited, by a drunk’s
selective attention. (It’s easy
to conclude that no one here
is sober when you only visit
the bars, for example.)
Then there’s the Goonies
house bit, where Korfhage
encourages visitors to wander
up the drive and check out
the Uppertown home. As he
points out, “it’s not a private
drive. It’s a public road, and
you have the right to walk
or drive up it. Never say die,
and feel no guilt.”
He is right. It is a public
road. Fair enough. No jour-
nalistic misconduct here.
I CAN’T FAULT ASTORIANS WHO,
KNOWING WHAT OUR RIVER
COMMUNITY HAS TO OFFER,
WOULD HAVE HOPED THAT AN
OUTSIDER WOULD VALUE IT
FOR SO MUCH MORE.
However, the city and
chamber of commerce
— and, for that matter,
“Goonies” star Sean Astin —
have been trying to keep peo-
ple away from the property
because the crush of visitors,
many of them ill-mannered,
made life miserable for the
homeowners. Korfhage, for
his part, provides the home
address.
This casually dismis-
sive attitude toward Sandi
Preston and the neighbor-
hood’s well-documented
Goonies hell makes it clear
that Korfhage’s allegiance is
to pleasure-seeking tourists
like himself rather than
Astorians impacted by their
behavior.
What the article lacks, in
short, is a sense that Korf-
hage genuinely cares about
the people who live here.
Were I the author, I
would argue that such criti-
cism is beside the point. The
piece is generally accurate,
amusing in parts, fulfi lls its
basic function. You want a
sarcastic, superfi cial piece
about how to have your way
with Astoria in 36 hours?
Here ya go.
Because Korfhage
doesn’t pretend to want a
deeper relationship with
Astoria than one where he
uses it for drive-thru self-in-
dulgence, I can’t hold that
against him. He is straight-
forward about his intentions.
But I can’t fault Astorians
who, knowing what our river
community has to offer,
would have hoped that an
outsider would value it for
so much more. CW
