Jake has a post of local (to Bend) telephone prefixes. Good resource. And he says, "When I lived in Bend growing up, I knew if the phone number didn’t start with 38-something (382, 385, 388, 389, and then 383 came along later) or 593, it was a long-distance call." I … Continue reading
The results for monkeyinabox’s Real Best of Bend 2006 are up! Classic… I’m thinking about making a link in the sidebar for this. 2. Best Roundabout To Drive In Circles: Winner:the "SEX" roundabout Runner Up: Chicken with the butt on fire. Makes you proud to be a Bendite, with landmarks … Continue reading
monkeyinabox has posted a funny-yet-oh-so-true voting form for the Real Best of Bend 2006. It’s a rip on tribute to The Source‘s annual Best of Bend edition. But I like this version better. With categories such as "Best Skanky Bar" and "Best Z21 Anchor Not Named Bob Shaw" how could … Continue reading
I don’t quite know when they did this, but Google has updated their satellite views for their map of Bend, and it’s pretty up-to-date—as in, recent sometime in the past year. To see it, search "Bend Oregon", then click on either the "Satellite" or "Hybrid" views and zoom in. Way … Continue reading
Chalk this up to another Shannon find: The Source Weekly’s website, in addition to finally being updated and looking like something 2002 2006 would offer, has blogs too! You can get to them here. Honestly, though, they’re a little confusing, even to a seasoned (ha) blogger like myself… the listing … Continue reading
There’s a new Bend Oregon Restaurants blog (not to be confused with the original). So far it seems to have just started, but looks promising. And the writing is fun and just the right amount of snarky… The best part of Bend, or Deschutes County for that matter, is that … Continue reading
Jake broke this news: Ticketmaster has a crazy promotion to see Fiona Apple and Damien Rice in concert at the Les Schwab Amphitheater for only $1! (The tickets are actually free, but Ticketmaster charges a "nominal" processing fee.) For a limited time, Ticketmaster is offering complimentary tickets* to see Fiona … Continue reading
No sooner than Jake invoked it and I pointed to BendStuff, craigslist has come to Bend. Not a lot on there yet, but expect that to change. Also, Dave and Shannon beat me to the punch.
Via Jake comes a pointer to this local classifieds site: BendStuff. I like the potential here, but I’m hoping this site just launched because there’s only 4 listings at this time. I’ll keep an eye on it. Jake’s comment amused me, though: "Be sure to check it out until Craig … Continue reading
The Old Mill District‘s website has a pretty good summertime calendar of events online (in PDF format). It covers the next three months, and includes non-Old Mill events—though Old Mill-specific ones are highlighted in orange text. Events are listed from June through August. It reminded me that the Bend Farmer’s … Continue reading
