I keep hearing about Redmond’s Music on the Green on the radio and forgetting to blog about it. It’s Redmond’s free summer concert series, held every other Wednesday in Sam Johnson Park. Free! There are four concerts left this season, starting on Wednesday. July 26 (this Wednesday): The Alliance August … Continue reading
KTVZ has posted a couple of advisories that I thought I’d point to. First is the heat advisory. Pretty sure we’re all aware of this one by now. They’re predicting 103 degrees for Saturday. The other is unusual: measles advisory. Unusual because I haven’t heard anything about measles in, what, … Continue reading
I wrote about the Bond Street Barber Shop on my other blog a few months back, and I wanted to mention it here as well. It’s an old-school barber shop that looks a bit like a sport bar as far as atmosphere goes (whereas the other barber shop in downtown, … Continue reading
A promo-note to any garage salers reading: my brother and his girlfriend are having a garage sale today (Saturday the 15th). Among other things, he was planning on selling some of his older video game systems (Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo), with games, and we took a toddler mattress over there … Continue reading

It’s an art showcase, running from 5 until 9PM. You’re … Continue reading
Today is the first day of the annual Munch N Music concert series down in Drake Park. It’s free! Well, almost—you have to pay for your food and drink. But the music is free. Here’s the "three second explanation" I wrote on my other blog last year: Thursday evenings during … Continue reading
The morning of the fourth found us downtown at the Pet Parade with a decent spot to watch across the street from Wells Fargo. It was pretty good this year, and everybody looked like they were having a good time. My brother was in it as well, carrying one of … Continue reading
Among other things happening this July 4th (which I’ll blog about separately), the Bend Public Library is having one of their big book sales on that day. It’s running from 10am to 4pm down at the Library Administration Building at 507 NW Wall Street (just south of the main library … Continue reading
Here’s an odd thing: the traffic lights at the intersection of Bond St. and Oregon Ave. downtown this morning were off. We were driving through around 11, and they were dark—no idea what was going on; the other lights downtown were working. Anyone know what’s up? Was it just a … Continue reading
