The Coaster Theatre, in the City of Cannon Bach, Oregon, began life as a roller skating rink in the 1920's. In 1972 it was acquired by Portland art patron Maurie Clark who renovated the building into the theatre it is today. When he died in 2001, the Coaster Theatre Playhouse became a not for profit organization.
Here's a good example of employing elements of vanishing point perspective to draw the eye to the theatre's marquee.

The City of Cannon Beach is very much a resort town-it has 1600 or so residents but attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. There are a number of very attractive beach rental properties available and in the mix, a fine array of eclectic and individually appointed residences as well as the usual mix of Cape Cod themed homes. Coincidental with the tourist trade are souvenir and novelty oriented shops and restaurants, however it would appear the civic leaders take their role seriously and keep the tackiness level to a minimum.

Some of the local labels available at the wine shop across from the theatre. Sorry to report I cannot give a review of any of them. Maybe next time.
