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
While we were driving to Sunriver for the Sunfest yesterday, we passed the Lava River Cave and I thought this would be a good blog topic. The Cave is the longest-known lava tube in Oregon, running 5400 feet (over a mile) underground. It’s located about 12 miles south of Bend … Continue reading
Yesterday we drove out to Sunriver to attend the Sunfest wine festival. It was a nice day for it, warm and sunny but with enough overcast to keep from getting burnt (though I think I did burn my neck a little bit). It wasn’t a huge setup, though; if you’ve … Continue reading
A few of the events coming up this weekend I thought I’d mention: Balloons Over Bend: A bunch of balloons are launched, and fly over Bend… to be honest, I don’t really get it. You have to get up really early to watch the balloons launch at 6:30, then… what? … Continue reading
Just thought I’d write up a short report to the Farmer’s Market that started today down in the park. It was a nice day for it, and there were a fair number of people about. I was wandering around about 3:30… off the top of my head, there were: Beverages; … Continue reading
When Simone broke the news about the new free newspaper, the Bend Weekly, I guess I had it stuck in my head that it was an online-only thing. Nope! I saw the actual paper in a newsbox along side all of our other local publications, and picked one up. It … Continue reading
This Wednesday the 7th is the first Farmer’s Market in downtown Bend, in the Drake Park and Riverfront Plaza area. Every Wednesday through October, from 3pm until 7. And according to Shannon it’s also every Friday in St. Charles’ parking lot… I’m assuming the same hours. There’s no official website … Continue reading
Sad to say, I actually haven’t been to the theater in McMenamins Old St. Francis School yet. But I’ve been to some of their other theaters, and I know it’s a good deal. First of all, $3 movies! You don’t find that anymore. Second, seating is comfortable chairs and couches. … 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
I always forget about Little Caesars anymore (maybe because we don’t live on the south side of town), but tonight we were down by Fred Meyer and picked up one of their "hot and ready" pizzas for dinner—large pepperoni pizzas that are ready to go, and only $5. Works great … Continue reading
