Do you like fruit pies? If so, you many know of famous ‘Blue Raeven Farmstand’ in Amity at 20650 OR-99W. It’s THE place to buy fruit pies. The company has a McMinnville connection: “On the more indulgent side, Blue Raeven Pie Co. also has its office and production facility along Alpine, although no retail shop,” says ‘Indulge Yamhill Valley’ on page A8 of McMinnville N-R, Oct 18, 2022

McMinnville’s
Third Street in 1910
Published June 7, 2022, the
book “Real
Photo Postcards: Pictures from a Changing Nation” includes (photo 130 on page
129) a photo of downtown McMinnville’s Third Street in 1910.Caption is “Auto
parade to Eugene, Oregon, 1910.” However, additional info in the book says, “Auto
parade to Eugene, Oregon, 1910, McMinnville, Oregon.” There’s also an explanation
that “Automobile parades epitomized the popularity of the motor car in the
early twentieth century. They were held all over the country, beginning as
early as 1899.” The photo appears to include the corner of Third and Davis,
with what is now Union Block coffee and used to be the location of Hamblin Wheeler Clothiers.
