East Bend Liquor’s new location
A quick note about East Bend Liquor’s new location… apparently they’ve moved up the street a few blocks on Highway 20. So instead of their old spot in that shopping center on the northeast corner of Hwy. 20 and 27th, they’re now next to Bed Mart. I haven’t been to … Continue reading
Election day – ballot drops
Today’s election day—did you get your ballot returned yet? If not, the County website has a PDF of ballot drop sites where you can turn it in. All ballots are due by 8pm tonight, and it’s too late to mail them—postmarks do not count, they have to be in the … Continue reading
La Costa Azul

Greg’s Grill

It’s the new upscale restaurant down in the Old Mill District that just opened to much fanfare from the Bulletin, which revealed, among other things, that they spent "around $225,000 training the Greg’s Grill team of 120 employees" … Continue reading
Northside notes
Just a couple of quick blurbs about things happening up north, along Empire Avenue. The new Empire Car Wash is open. It’s a full-service car wash and they had an ad in Sunday’s paper for a free wash (good through May, I think). They also have a sign out on … Continue reading
Bend makes Inc. Magazine’s top 10 boomtowns
I don’t know how many people have seen this yet, but Bend has been named one of Inc. Magazine’s top 10 boomtowns. It’s their annual "best of" entrepreneurial cities. Bend is actually highlighted twice: as one of the top 20 small cities for doing business, and one of the top … Continue reading
