[Todd V Call, 05/28/2010]
Billed as the "World's Tallest Barber Pole," it's actually 72 feet (29.95) meters tall.
The easiest way to find it is to go north on Main St. from OR Highway 8 (Pacific Highway) about 4 1/2 blocks and look for the small parking lot on the right-hand side, next to the running track / soccer field - the pole is on the edge of the parking lot.
[Daniel L. Jones, 05/09/2010]There is the World's Tallest Barber Shop Pole. Painted red white and blue just like the smaller ones. It is located off of Main St. near Pacific University.
