View down Alabama Street
This is the view looking South on Alabama Street prior to the fire that destroyed much of Bandon. The building at the end of the street was one of three buildings that survived the fire. At the time it was the bank.

The building still stands today. The businesses that were previously along the street are no longer there. There no longer is a drugstore in Old Town. The drugstores (and other stores providing ‘necessities’ for locals) are either ‘uptown,’ or north of town. Old Town has the best eateries, and great specialty stores.
Alabama Street Today
Welcome to Bandon
Before the Bandon fire, this sign on Second Street welcomed tourists to the town and the beachfront activities.
Today the sign is located in about the same place. The buildings that replaced those damaged in the fire are smaller, and seem to be much more targeted to visitors than to the local community.
