Last year Lay It Out Events launched a fairly successful “Shakespeare in the Park” event that took place in Drake Park in August: three days of a live performance of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” that was very well received. They’re back again this year with one of the big ones: … Continue reading
I was over by where TuckMo Subs & Sandwiches was located yesterday and I was surprised to see the signs gone, the lights out, and everything generally being closed up—I didn’t remember coming across anything about them being closed that I could remember, but sure enough, a sign on the … Continue reading
I haven’t done a roundup of the local beer happenings in a while, and there’s a lot of stuff going on! Most interestingly, and amusingly, Bend’s craft beer scene is apparently the subject of a nearly-10-minute Korean news magazine article. Shots of Deschutes Brewery, the Cycle Pub, and more are … Continue reading
