The land for the famous local restaurant Shirley's Tippy Canoe is for sale in Troutdale, Oregon


 

The Land is for sale where the famous local restaurant Shirley's Tippy Canoe is for sale. The restaurant burned down in 2020 under suspicious circumstances according to this news article:"Suspicious Fire" burns down Shirley's Tippy Canoe. Anyhow the location is just amazing and in a very beautiful spot on the Sandy River in an Emerald Green Forest with small waterfalls spilling down into the river, along the old historic Columbia River Highway. I use to eat at Shirley's Tippy Canoe every week practically on the weekend for breakfast. The blueberry pancakes were the best I've had anywhere and Shirley always gave this same pitch to every customer with "We take 16 eggs and beat the hell out of them for our homemade pancake batter and that is why they are so light and fluffy". Shirley was the owner, who originally was from Michigan. She named the restaurant after herself of course and took part of the political slogan of the Whig Party "Tippy Canoe and Tyler Too" whose nominee was John Tyler who became the 10th President of the United States. The restaurant was famous for it appearing in the television show GRIMM although Shirley said the carpenters for the TV show changed the appearance of the interior of the restaurant for those two episodes and then tore out their makeshift remodel when finished.

My idea for the new restaurant on the land is to make a smaller scale replica of THE LOTUS TEMPLE located in India. Behold! 

and of course look how cool the aerial view is. 
The restaurant would not need the water feature ponds like the original, just the beautiful building, lotus shape and clear views to the river. It should fit the footprint of 4,000 square feet. Now to paraphrase John Lennon, "You might say, I'm a dreamer" but in reality the visionary architect and genius named Fairiborz Sahba who designed the Lotus Temple lives in La Jolla, CA I read which makes La Jolla famous for Architecture, hippies, nudists, beach combers, and religious cults... The building would be so perfect with its white shell and being surrounded by an emerald forest and ferns by a beautiful river. This restaurant site deserves the most beautiful architecture in the world and darned good food is served inside. It would be so cool! The land is priced at $775,000.

The New Coffin Comic Book Themed Bar and Restaurant idea in Phoenix Arizona.

Image
  Sometimes a very successful restaurant that seems to have been in business forever eventually closes due to a catastrophic event like Covid-19. This happened to a Phoenix restaurant called  Tommy's Place  which is for sale now.   It served high quality Italian food and most reviews on Yelp were very favorable.  It would be crazy to replace it with a restaurant with the same cuisine because it would always be compared to Tommy's.           Now Tommy's was a bar and restaurant with balcony seating and it has a lot of character I got inspired for this post looking at this Haunted Themed bar restaurant menu for food and drinks located in Portland, Oregon called  Raven's Manor . The drinks are expensive but the place is packed all the time because the drinks look so cool. One drink called "The Elder God" costs $75.00 by itself but check out this photo of it  The Elder God . Now look at these drinks like  The Crystal Bal...

Grace Restaurant is for sale in Portland, Maine and would be great if purchased by actress/singers Anna Kendrick and Emma Watson.

  Grace Restaurant is for  Sale  and here  sale It is a church that was converted into a super nice restaurant. Here is the main doorway in.  The incredible interior just blows me away.  So cool, like out of a James Bond movie. Even the upper decks on the side look fantastic.  So cool to see a church actually become useful.  They even have special banquet rooms for weddings, concerts, karaoke, and special events.  This would be an amazing place as a dining option.  and it has fantastic appeal and it's fully equipped.  and ready to go.  Beautiful Restaurant! Looking into my crystal ball I see two critical celebrities that need to invest in this restaurant and buy it. The first is actress/singer Anna Kendrick who looks fantastic in a black business suit.  Anna was born and raised in Portland, Maine to be exact, and all people from Maine by birth are natural experts on the consumption of Maine Lobster. When Maine babies are b...

A New Star Trek themed restaurant that will surpass all before it, which have come and gone, to boldly go where no restaurant has gone before.........

Image
Above is the photo of the now out of business Star Trek Themed restaurant located in Italy, Texas called Starship Pegasus.   Here at this link is a list of Star Trek restaurants that have come and gone like the Dodo.  Star Trek Themed Restaurants . Actually there might be a couple still afloat out there.  Now for the new idea. Instead of focusing on a ship shaped building or an interior that looks like the ships interior with all the blinking lights, paraphernalia,  and photos of solar systems yada, yada, yada, I propose the restaurant be based on one episode of Star Trek: The Gamesters of Triskelion. The new restaurant would be called: THE CHICKEN WINGS AND DANCE CLUB OF TRISKELION.  Here is the photo of the logo along with your Table Thrall (waitress) for the restaurant but replace the spear with her holding a beautiful plate of tantalizing chicken wings. Just an outstanding outfit/uniform for a chicken wing/dance club and Brand emblem. I am en"THRALL"ed with ...
