Reply to comment by Raam57 in New owner of Astoria Goonies house wants to keep it open for movie fans by OregonTripleBeam

I lived in Astoria for a while. The Goonies love is still very much alive. Goonies weekend brings a lot of tourism to the small city.

Ding ding ding. I promise if an absolute no where town like Rockford can remain relevant all these years purely because Cheap Trick came from there, I can guarentee Astoria hasn't been forgotten.

I worked in restaurants in Astoria and it was awful. Until the summer there is barely enough work to go around. As soon as tourist season hits you can't find enough workers.

I have PTSD from Goonies weekends.

Was just there last summer. Swung by the Goonies museum too, it was pretty fun.
