HOLLYWOOD COMES TO ASTORIA




A LOOK AT THE MOVIES and SOME of our area's BEAUTY!
I didn't even realize myself how many movies have been filmed, or partially filmed, here in beautiful Astoria and surrounding areas!

When THE RING TWO, starring Naomi Watts, premiered in ASTORIA, NNB RADIO sponsored it and donated proceeds to our community's local project for the children. The TAPIOLA PARK PROJECT.
It was only one of the many events we participated in to help in our own community.
The project was to build a new and improved playground, that depicted many of the historical points in our area. It is now finished and is great! Children go play at Tapiola Playground in Astoria and are able to play in 'Fort Clatsop' cross the 'Megler Bridge'...play at the 'Astor Column' a Victoria House , boats and much more! As they play..the learn history as well!
