Last year (or two) in August…
Looking back at the previous couple of Augusts here on the blog.
- The Source got with the times and added blogs to their site
- August is the month of the Bend Brew Fest
- I mentioned the Cascade Festival of Music (which retired this year)
- The golf nets at the old Volcano Golf Center came down—leaving giants poles and rotting fake green behind
- Reader comments and reviews of 38 Degrees (which just recently closed)
- Pondering the mystery of chalk shadow outlines
- I (finally) noticed Jokers Bar & Grill (also now closed)
- Supper Burrito’s last day at their old downtown location was imminent
- Bend Brew Fest again—and they were looking for volunteers this time
- Writer Ursula Le Guin came to Sisters for a reading and signing
- We found out that KOHD’s Jay Frank used to be on MTV’s "The Real World"
- Jake’s Truck Stop: The Movie
- The news broke that Hans was closing
- Pictures of a fire on Awbrey Butte
- Zucca’s—the restaurant that replaced Mercury Diner—closed after only six months
- First in the "Why the Eastside Rocks" posts: Pilot Butte
- Eastside Rocks #2: Juniper Pool
- Giuseppe’s announced they were closing to change to "Bistro Pow" (note that they’ve since changed back to Giuseppe’s again)
- Eastside Rocks #3: Best burgers
- Eastside Rocks #4: Costco (oh I so did)
- Eastside Rocks #5: Down-home diners
