The Bridge Tender

It's Montag Mondays with photos from Seaside's early 1900s photographer, William Montag.

This is sometime around 1910 with the Seaside Pier in the background. It was located just north of the Turnaround, from 1906 to 1918 when the winter storms finally took their toll. But its demise prompted the community to vote a bond issue to build the Prom, so all's well that ends well.

Golden hour on the dunes with the crew—crouch low, catch that dramatic sky-and-sand shot, then let one friend pick the after-spot. Walk down Broadway to BridgeTender, order a round of cold beers or a signature cocktail, and toast the day like the locals do.

Two regulars, matching hoodies, and a round on the house—easy. But the bartender slides a third glass down the bar, already packed with ice, like it’s been waiting all along. She nods toward the empty seat by the window and says, “They’re back in town.”

That third drink? It’s for the one who always comes in quietly, sits by the window, and never has to order—the kind of regular you don’t forget… even when they’ve been gone a while. She poured it early because at Bridge Tender, some folks don’t walk in first—stories do.
