Bigfoot on Pilot Butte!
Following up on yesterday’s Bigfoot news, I thought I’d better share the photographic evidence I have of a Bigfoot on Pilot Butte. Look carefully:
Year: 2007
Sasquatch!
As usual, Jake was on the forefront of this news: this June, the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization will be descending on Central Oregon to have a, well, Bigfoot hunting expedition. Once Jake ran the story, it picked up steam: appearing in an article in the Bulletin (you need to pay … Continue reading
Open-air produce stands
A tip on one of those open-air produce stands you see around (actually, they’re less "stands" than just vendors selling out of the back of their trucks): a co-worker recommended the guy on the corner of Third and Division (south end of town, by 7-Eleven) for the best oranges in … Continue reading
New coffee shop: Thump
Via Jen, there’s a new coffee shop downtown: Thump Coffee. It’s located at 25 NW Minnesota, just down from the Firehall building (which houses Staccato).

They have their liquor license application posted on their window (to sell beer, wine and cider), which was entered January 4th, under the name "Makahna’s, LLC". Inside there’s … Continue reading
Hack Bend 2006 Zeitgeist
In the spirit of doing these "zeitgeist" things on my other blogs, I thought I’d do one here, too. Considering I only launch this blog at the beginning of May, I think these are pretty good numbers. Number of blog entries: 130 Approximate total number of words written: 20,386 Average … Continue reading
Beer Festival at Joker’s
Yes, Joker’s Bar & Grill is having their 1st Annual Beer Festival on Thursday, January 11th. That’s according to their ad in The Source, anyway—I don’t see anything on their website about it. It’ll run from 7pm until 11, and is featuring beers from the following breweries: Deschutes Brewery Bend … Continue reading
Bend’s private airstrip: Pilot Butte Airport
In the latest Source Weekly, there’s an article about the private airstrip that’s located southeast, just off of Bear Creek Road. I’ve seen that before on maps and wondered about it, especially as it was near Sugarbowl Park (which I blogged about). You can see the strip in the image … Continue reading
Franklin Avenue underpass is closed this morning
Just a heads-up to drivers; as of at least 8am this morning, the underpass on Franklin Avenue is closed due to the rain. Since the forecast is calling for rain all day today, I imagine it’ll stay closed. Watch out for the other underpasses, too.
