Thompson Brewery & Public House

Location: Thompson Brewery & Public House, my first Salem location! It is a cute house on the outside AND on the inside, filled with cozy nooks upstairs that look like they used to be bedrooms.

I was headed back from a job in Lebanon so I took the back roads there:

Fellow travelers: Dayna! She is on call for her daughter's impending birth so I was very lucky to catch her today. We haven't had a meal together in years, so we talked for quite a long time.

Favorite light: Skylights in Oregon are special.

Favorite art: A location mostly decorated with posters. Outside, they had a lot of impact, though:

My favorite parts were these painted bits upstairs:

And this white/silver striped bathroom sink:

But I had given up seeing any "traditional" McMenamins art when I caught this on my way out of the building painted on an obscure access door:

Food: Ichabod turkey burger, delicious angel hair onion rings (wish more locations had these!), Ruby ale shake

Passport stamps: Thompson Brewery & Public House

Other items of note:

• It was not as straightforward to get out of Salem from here as I expected. I suspect Google was confused because I had taken all those back roads.
