"I feel like I'm halfway to the ocean on this tip of a tiny tendril of the urban growth boundary, so I'm surprised when, standing in the Friends of Historic Forest Grove Museum, I spot a 1926 schedule for the old Red Electric train."
"But even in this very well-established urban center (Forest Grove was platted in 1850 and is the oldest incorporated city in Washington County), that edge-of-the-world feeling still creeps in."
"Thinking of the Red Electric line, I wonder what people thought of the old interurban bringing in not just unsavory Portlanders but those Yamhill rowdies and McMinnville toughs."
