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
Jake broke this news: Ticketmaster has a crazy promotion to see Fiona Apple and Damien Rice in concert at the Les Schwab Amphitheater for only $1! (The tickets are actually free, but Ticketmaster charges a "nominal" processing fee.) For a limited time, Ticketmaster is offering complimentary tickets* to see Fiona … Continue reading
Shannon sends along this tip: Avoid driving around the intersection of Wall and Newport in Downtown Bend this week. She says there’s roadwork going on that’s backing up traffic at least until tomorrow. (She also notes, "road rage city. poor guy that is running the stop/go sign is pissing ppl … Continue reading

It’s located in the Brooks Street alley overlooking Drake Park, just past the breezeway. They’re open from 4pm til midnight Tuesday through Saturday. They’re a great place … Continue reading

No sooner than Jake invoked it and I pointed to BendStuff, craigslist has come to Bend. Not a lot on there yet, but expect that to change. Also, Dave and Shannon beat me to the punch.
It was only relatively recently that I found out my friend Brian had written a book a few years back, called The 11th Postcard. Shannon recommended it, but said the only place you can get it is Amazon. So imagine my surprise the other day when I was browsing in … Continue reading
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
