It’s hard to believe it’s still the depths of winter. Today in Old Town Florence, the sun is brilliant, the Douglas Firs are sharply etched against a winter blue sky, the office front door is open and as I type, I’m listening to the splash of the rugged rock fountain a few steps away from my desk. A slight breeze is stirring, wafting smells of freshly broiled steak through the door and the air is split every now and again with the raucous rumble of a Harley, reverberating in my chest. So this tells you some of the fun things to do in Florence if you’re a winter tourist: ride your Harley or your collector car on Bay Street, grab a bite to eat at Bridgeport Landing . It’s warm enough to sit at one of their outside tables so you have a front row seat from which to observe and comment on the local color: boats and seals and kayakers, flotsam and jetsam out and about on the Siuslaw River. If the Pacific beckons you, it’s only a couple of miles to the North Jetty. I’ve heard the surf’s up, so grab your board and let’s go!
