Next a walker came striding along and I thought I recognized him. I asked if he'd mind if I joined him. “Not at all”.

That got me to thinking about Gus West Island, a small sea stack just west of the former Union Lumber Company.
Gus West Island "had a brothel in historic times”. I've been told access was via a cable suspension bridge! Now days only a few impressions of the building's foundation remain on the island.
I can imagine a young "woods worker" coming in on the Friday evening logging train and heading for Gus West Island for a “kiss”, the waiting girls out there surrounded by pounding surf and fog. All that was needed was money in the pocket and the guts to cross that bridge!
An indication of past and present.
A nice residence (#49) kitty corner from the Baptist Church (#35)
Currently, Fort Bragg Glass (# 56). That's the "livery" (#61) to the left. I posted that one yesterday.
(#2) is the Guest House Museum, where I got the map.
I plan to use the guide to locate and photograph the buildings that still exist, fore instance:
#35 The First Baptist Church.
Further along North Harbor drive I noticed this at the Anchor Lodge.
That was it for the Noyo Neon! Walking home I happened to glance east up Oak Street and spotted this at the B&C Deli (Northeast corner of Harrison and Oak). Finally a crab!
Okay. That’s it for the neon, for now.
Tomorrow, good news! The 25% sale at Understuff is complete!
