McMinnville Oregon \ One Cool Town

Everybody has a version of what a cool town is. For me, McMinnville, Oregon fits right into that category and, right along with some of Oregon's cool beach towns like Bandon.

My requirements for "Cool" are: 

1)   Something to see 
2)   Something to do
3)   Great food at reasonable prices (Something other than junk food and, food that is maybe gourmet and unusual)
4)   Free parking (No parking meters. No one puts a parking ticket on your windshield before you get the chance to get out of your car and feed the meter)
5)   Shade trees that line Main Street during hot summer months
6)   Cool wine bars
7)   Cool hotels like "Hotel Oregon" which is right in the heart of downtown
8)   Cool gift shops that aren't a "rip" and sell unusual things other than dumb souvenirs 
9)   Friendly people
10) A place to retire to someday that you can afford

Did I mention that McMinnville is right in the heart of Oregon's Wine Country and is also a short drive to the beach?

The Outdoor Business Signs Of McMinnville Two

More of the street and banner signs in the town of McMinnville which is in the heart of Oregon's Wine Country.

Maybe a little off-the-wall photography with the signs, but you have to be impressed with them if you ever get the chance to visit this neat place.

Everywhere you look there are cool wine shops, gift stores and restaurants. One of the most famous restaurants is Nick's Italian Cafe.

The Outdoor Business Signs Of McMinnville

One of the coolest towns in Oregon, make that anywhere, is McMinnville. In this post, I'm going to feature some of the business signs observed as walking down Main Street.

There are, to say the least, a slug of outdoor signs all in different venues...some are overhead, some are placed on the sidewalks, some are banners, some are window signs.

McMinnville is in the heart of Oregon's Wine Country. There are a lot of wine bars, cool gourmet restaurants and gift shops.

When visiting, my wife and I ate at the "Red Fox Bakery"...outstanding! It's a bit off of the main drag. 

We could tell when we were in there that it was were the locals eat. Good choice. My wife had a Waldorf Salad and I had a Reuben...both were super. Did I mention that they have gourmet cookies?
