The tragic end of Salem's most famous hotel
The Marion Hotel was built in 1870 at the southeast corner of Commercial and Ferry streets in downtown Salem and hailed as the largest and finest hotel north of San Francisco. It soon became the center of social, cultural and political activities, perhaps best known as the unofficial second capitol. More deals were reportedly struck and laws shaped in its back rooms and basement lounge than in the official chambers of state government. The hotel’s storied history ended in tragedy 55 years ago, when a pre-dawn fire Nov. 12, 1971, destroyed the four-story brick building and left the grand old showplace a smoking heap of blackened brick and twisted metal. By then, the hotel complex had grown to cover the entire block, and local firefighters considered the 101-year-old portion a firetrap. “We knew it was going to happen someday — it was just predicting the exact time,” the Salem fire chief told a Capital Journal reporter. “It was the kind of thing firemen took bets on.” Marion Hotel had high-end amenities such as speaking tubes Salem’s most famous hotel opened as The Chemeketa House on the day after Christmas in 1870. The glitzy opening-night dinner featured a speech by then-Gov.

Locals Say This Salem Barbecue Joint Hides The Best Brisket In All Of Oregon
The brisket here comes thick-cut, with a dark bark and a fat layer the kitchen leaves on purpose. That choice alone tells you a lot about the people running the smoker. The spot sits on a quiet road west of downtown, far from any busy food strip. It keeps a short schedule, too.

Lower Willamette River Fishing Report and Forecast
Sturgeon last man standing, and it’s not all that good. Lower Willamette River Fishing Report – With coho on the ropes, not that they were ever off the ropes, anglers just have sturgeon to focus on. It can be a good fishery, but even sturgeon can be a bit finicky at times. Pro guide Stephen “Spicy” Gettel ( 503-999-0904) put in some time on Wednesday, fishing just 2 rods around the Milwaukie area for no bites. There were using prime bait, sand shrimp, even saw fish jumping and marking them on the screen, just not able to get them to bite. Even sturgeon can have an attitude some days of the week. Maybe they were observing Veteran’s Day too.
