ali110: Hi Med have u ever traveled in that ship ?if so i sure u enjoyed it so much becoz it is a most luxirious ship
Actually I just left it in May because it was sold and the new owner and the way they were managing it was a nightmare. This one was a relatively small one of the ones I've been on.
The small one here on the end was my favorite one. The "Mondriaan"

Hi Ali--interesting post. I guess Coos Bay would be considered a "city", but of course not like a metropolitan city. In Oregon we don't really use the term "village" (but I would say we do have them). In some parts of the U.S. the term "parish" is used, archaic and not surprisingly church-attached, also we say "Star Route" for a town or district that is too small to have actual addresses--i.e. when I was a small boy living in the country our address was "West Cape Franklin Road, Star Route 4, Whatever, OR. (get it?) The term "Square" is used for an established town, also "Range". (I thought for many years "Range" denoted a large ranch spread. It CAN, but the original meaning was a settlement of (I am possibly not quite accurate, but the idea is here) say, 160 residential lots by 160 residential lots- "R F D" is still used to denote a settlement outside of a small town. It means "Rural Fire District". In more recent times, these have been often called "Unincorporated towns". Back east there are at least four areas called "Farmsteads", also an even older and sometimes, but really seldom used term is "Grange".
