[FRITZ JUENGLING]

Peter,
you remember that nearly every exit off I-5 used to point the driver toward "Ocean Beaches."  I don't know whether this is true, but alledgedly some out-of-staters thought that Ocean Beaches was a town.  Of course, it's not--it's the beaches that are on the ocean.  Well, I have not seen Ocean Beaches in a while. I think all the signs now read "Oregon Coast."
Fritz (who goes to the 'beach,' not the 'coast')

On US Hwy. 26 heading west into Portland from Mt. Hood and points east,
there is a sign for an exit that takes you to Oregon City and the town of
Boring.  You guessed it--the sign reads:

Boring
Oregon City

As a resident of the latter locality, I'm always inclined to comment, as
The New Yorker might once have done, "Just give the directions, please!"
