What amenities do you wish Eugene had? Something to do

For the sake of breaking up the monotony of this sub’s typical posts, what are some amenities you wish we had here? I don’t care if they are unrealistic for the population. I’ll go first: Top Golf and go karts. I don’t want to drive 1.5-2.5 hrs for those up in Wilsonville and Hillsboro more than once a year, and would go to both a many times a year if they were local! Do not mention Swing Suite; I won’t try it since it seems like expensive Wii golf lol!

I searched the sub for a post similar to this and didn’t find one. If there is, I didn’t want to spend more than 15 seconds scrolling for it😆

Edit: The intent of this post is FUN- unrealistic or not. I totally get the valid qualms with Eugene’s problems but that is discussed daily on this sub. I said break up the monotony. For the most part everyone has been great about this and listed some excellent ideas. Please keep this fun and positive and save your grievances for the other posts in this sub that give you this opportunity daily!

Rage room

Gemstone/ rock hound shop

Gluten free fish and chips place, reminiscent of Corbett fish house which closed in Portland in 2020. (If no one else does it, one of my retirement pipe dreams is to open a GF fish cart. For anyone wondering, they used rice flour and rice oil; No batter, just rice flour dipped, then fried. Juicy, crispy goodness.)

I remember that! I was living in Portland at the time, sadly. I think I moved back to Eugene the year that room closed, though I am unsure.
