Shaniko

Late on Sunday, Aug. 21, 2022, a semi-truck buried itself into the 7 Directions Restaurant in Shaniko, Oregon. The truck destroyed the combination restaurant, ice cream parlor, and antique business. The restaurant is located on the edge of Shaniko, next to Highway 97, a road traveled by many semi-trucks. When I stopped on Sep. 26th, the damaged building, slated for demolition, sat with its new garage wide open. In 1910, Shaniko, Oregon, had a population of 500. Today about 40 people live in the community. The 7 Directions Restaurant may reopen in the Shaniko Hotel, the main building in the community. The Shaniko Hotel, formerly the Columbia Southern Hotel, opened in 1902. The building is currently undergoing renovations. This infrared image shows the tire marks of either the semi-truck or the tow truck used to remove the semi-truck. 261/365
