- "One of the Oregon Coast's leading destination towns is the historic riverfront in Florence, OR. Originally the Siuslaw estuary was the winter home for the Siuslaw tribe. French, Russian and Spanish explorers and traders moved through the area, and in 1909 a river port was established here. The district thrived economically with industry from fishing, canning, lumber and rock quarries and eventually tourism. Today, discover the scenic boardwalk and harbor lined with historic buildings, landmarks, public art, unique shopping and excellent coastal dining." - www.eugenecascadescoast.org/r...
Hello, welcome to our channel. We are twins who love to walk and explore.

Now you'll get walking videos from the East Coast, West Coast, everything in between, and beyond! Stay tuned to see what's next on the iTWINerary!

See I’m weird, I love touristy towns. This looks like the best of both worlds. Can’t wait to visit next week!!
definitely the best of both worlds!
Thank you for being invited to take a walk to enjoy the beautiful surroundings
Thank you so much for watching :)
I live here, I will never leave
Me and my wife visited Florence last week, but we went to the newer part of the city, not the Old Town. Next time we will!
Hope you enjoyed your trip to Florence! The Old Town is charming, hope you get to see it next time!
@@theitwinerary yes, we enjoyed it very much! I was much impressed by what I saw and the people I met. Like I told my wife, "I wouldn't mind relocating to this area from Coos Bay." But I was told by a person I met in Florence that the average house goes for around $450,000. That's way beyond my affordability!!
nice
The river is pronounce…Si-u-slaw.
I was born and raised there in Florence before I joined the navy and left…the town has blown up since I was there, the population then was 4,000 people…we didn’t have the casino or McDonald’s or even Safeway in town…those aptments are all new and that boardwalk was all dirt and gravel
Wow, thanks for sharing. Florence has definitely grown a bit! Thanks for watching!
Should of started at bridgeport market instead of walking marina twice. Oh well
But we love the marina! Next time we will began the walk in a different location.
I lived in Coos Bay Oregon until I was 18 and then left for Eugene Oregon. That was 35 or 37 years ago; I wish that I never left Coos Bay Oregon. 🥲
We have not had the chance to visit Coos Bay but hopefully someday! Thanks for watching!
Pronounce the river name correctly please, Sigh-you-slaw spelled Siuslaw. The reason I take offense to the mispronouncing of this is the fact the river and the original first peoples of the area are intertwined. The Siuslaw peoples were effectively eradicated by white authorities who breed the tribe out of existence with land ownership laws that excluded anyone not white. The only Indians who owned land we’re married to whites. The people were removed to boarding schools and not allowed to speak their native language. By the 1960’s the language was extinct. Only a few original words exist and are questionable as to authenticity. Siuslaw, “sparkling waters”
Prefer Lovejoys, Heather is awesome
@@davidgletne4380 it took me a minute, Lovejoys, never been in there. Looks to be popular. I stay out of the popular places or the tourist draw places. I prefer quiet with less density. Not easy to find good places on the coast that aren’t crowded. Jerry’s and Darlings are good greasy burgers. In reedsport I really like The Schooner restaurant by the discovery center. Off the beaten path…. Hidden gems.
History is a favorite subject of mine. I know a lot of this history as well as the history of many Native-American tribes in and outside of Oregon. Of course these names can be tricky to pronounce, especially if you are not from the area and seeing the name for the first time. Thanks for sharing this history for those viewers who may not know it.
Florence has lost it's small town charm it has back in the 70s. Tourist trap now.
There are a lot of tourist attractions, but the natural beauty of the area is still there! Thanks for watching :)
Stay away hater.
And, in the 70's, I'm certain some would say, how much nicer it was here in the 50's.
