Downtown Homer Scenes

This lighthouse is one of the views to greet the traveler traveling out of the Spit to the town of Homer.

Most of the building I have taken pictures of are original buildings from the time Homer was settled.

This is more or less how the town of Homer, away from the Spit, looks today. Most of the activity and commercial/tourist traps are along the Spit.

The flat roofed brown building is home to Fat Olivers, an Italian Restaurant serving outstanding Stromboli's. Yummy!

The pizza oven is made of brick surrounded by aluminum decoration on the outside. Originally the building housed the school buses for the local 8 schools. The renovation was done with care, attempting to utilize as much of the original building and what was already in place as possible. Sections of the floor in the bar are the metal strips the buses were run over when it was time to change the oil. Modern art by local Alaskans adorns the walls in the restaurant area.

Outside I could not help but take a picture of the "once upon a time" Hobart commercial mixer. It hit home to me as Whirlpool purchased the small appliance business from Hobart years ago, which included the much smaller household version of the mixer.
