Give me the tea… Moving
Moving to Junction City (working in Eugene) from the Midwest in 2 weeks and am looking for intel from those who have also relocated from out of state (or locals if you’re not sick of invaders). I’ve been researching for months so I’m looking for the really obscure details that never occurred to you until you got there.

Relocated recently. No sales tax is nice, but work paycheck taxes were 3x what they were in the southwest.. I’m sure it’ll work out at the end of the year but it sucked that my paycheck went down when I got here. Eugene public library is awesome .. you can check out books and also things! It’s really cool. The downtown location is awesome. If you drive in Eugene there’s 3 things that are kinda funny but make sense since it’s a smaller city.1) google maps doesn’t have the lanes correct on most of the downtown roads 2) even if they paint a forward arrow on the street, it can can turn into a turning only lane immediately afterward (especially downtown), and 3) there’s almost no pause between one direction having a red light and the other getting the green.. welcome to town! If you find good food.. post about it.. I’m still exploring stuff.
