Astoria businesses win awards Three Astoria businesses won awards from Oregon Main Street’s annual Excel- lence in Downtown Revital- ization. Mo’s Chowder, Good to Go and Gimre’s Shoes were rec- ognized with dozens of oth- er projects across the state. Awards were announced last month. Mo’s, a restaurant in down- town Astoria, won for Best Adaptive Reuse. The restau- rant filled a large vacancy left when Englund Marine relocated out of downtown. The former warehouse now houses a restaurant seating 160 people and a chowder production plant. The $3 million expansion created 30 full-time and 40 part-time jobs. Good to Go won the award for Best New Business. Own- ers Heidi and Dan Dlubac re- habilited a downtown bakery into a successful take-out and snack venue. Gimre’s, the oldest fami- ly-owned shoe store west of the Rockies, won Retailer of the Year. Gimre’s was found- ed in 1892 by the grandfather of Pete Gimre, current owner.
