Hello people of Astoria - considering a move to the area and was wondering what your average monthly bill is for city utilities (water,sewer, trash); also what can be expected for gas/electricity? It would be a modest size home purchase, 1500 sq ft or less (ideally closer to 1k). I am currently in Boulder Colorado and my city utility (water, sewer, trash) bill is a minimum of $76 even if I use no water at all (basically that’s the minimum connection fee each month) and it only goes up with usage. Im around $135/month. As for your gas/electricity, In the summer months, I’m assuming it’s very little as the temperatures don’t really require AC or heat? Thanks for the insights and help!

Not sure if there is enough demand here but wanted to see. Thanks!

Should take no more than 15 minutes if you're passing by it.

I'm considering a medium term rental in the area, rather than spend money on travel and a hotel room to check it out in person, I'd rather you go knock on the door and ask if the person inside is rental from the guy claiming to own the property (and is trying to rent to me) or if it's even a rental on the market at all.

Will pay you even if it turns out it's not an actual rental.

Hi! I’ll be spending about 2 weeks in Astoria in November, I was wondering what your favorite things to do in Astoria (and the surrounding area) are. I last went about 10 years ago so I’m sure the old food places we visited closed. My family is older so I don’t want to put too much expectation on them to cook while I’m there. Please brag about the area to me! Tell me all about your favorite local (within 45 min) spots and places to bring people for food or things to do.

Previously we went to the

Good morning Oregon friends! My partner and I are planning to move to Astoria in the near future. We currently bank with a financial institution located only in Montana. As much as we love it we would like something we can access in town. What are your opinions on the banks located there?

Hi guys, I'm a student and hobby photographer passing through the city on a roadtrip. I was told to stop here and it's very beautiful.

I tried to get some sunset shots today, but the sun didn't really come out so hoping to get some when the sun rises. Any recommendations? I heard the column is good. Thanks!
