Jay & Cindy Visit Conway
February 25, 2006

To head out of the valley going south, one goes up Conway hill. The town of Conway consists of a public side, right off of the freeway, and a less public side, where the old, true downtown is, or was. When one passing through gets off the I-5 freeway on the way up Conway hill, the findings consist of a combination antique store, wine tasting room and deli and another combination store with gas and things... these two get pretty good through traffic.

Heading farther down the street, one notices that the homes are raised up about a story above ground level. The Skagit River has had a history of being particularly unruly in Conway. The teeny main drag still has a nice antique store, functioning post office and a place to eat. A good Saturday afternoon ramble...

Arriving on the main Conway drag,

the old food store...

or what used to be the food store, with mossy roof,

next to the still-functioning post office...

Lots of postings to peruse,

then meander on.
