"Pixie Kitchen and Pixieland were Oregon coastal landmarks. Beginning in 1952, waiting lines at the restaurant in what is now Lincoln City were hours long during the summer months as eager diners awaited the all-you-can eat seafood cuisine. On the Sunday drive home to the Willamette Valley visitors could encounter more Pixies at Pixieland, a short-lived amusement park opened in 1968 with an odd assortment of buildings and rides in the middle of the Salmon River estuary. Pixies in the Valley: Oregon's Pixie Kitchen and Pixieland is the story of these two developments which, even today, bring nostalgic memories to many Oregonians."--Publisher's description.
