The real-life Goonies house in Astoria, Oregon has becoming something of a mecca for fans of the 80s cult classic. They would stop by, take pictures, do the Truffle Shuffle and all was good. But all of that Pacific Northwest hospitality has disappeared as the owner of the house has gotten sick of the attention and blocked access to the property, including covering the outside of the house in tarps. Hey, you guyyyyyys…get off my lawn!
This year marks the 30th anniversary of one of my favorite movies of all time, The Goonies. This movie, which was mostly shot and filmed in Astoria, Oregon, is holding Goonies Day all weekend long.
