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.

I grew up in the south and moved to Eugene a few years ago, my family currently lives in the midwest so I know the vibe there too. Like i’ve seen some other people say, if you like doing things outdoors you’ll have plenty to do here. Talk to some locals to find some good spots. Chula’s has acceptable mexican food, and there’s a lot of great pizza here. The coast is a great weekend trip, it’s only an hour away, but bring layers because it can be windy and brisk even in the dead of summer. We take trips to Portland sometimes too for good shopping. My best advice though is not to let the pessimism of locals get you down. We have a lot to offer here even though people love to complain! Check out the eugene saturday market too :)
