Saw a post asking about overhyped restaurants here’s a few I think are worth it. I’m sure some might disagree but here’s what I got:

1) Los Dos Hermanos Taqueria. Good food, I love their burritos they are big and a good price (around ~$12) I usually go for “The Oregon” burrito. Also it’s usually clean inside, good vibes all around. I have yet to try burrito girl I wonder if that place would change my opinion.

2) Mandy’s Diner. Maybe not as clean but a sticky floor is part of the American Diner experience. Most of the food is pretty good I think. Milkshakes are why I go there. Open 24 hours as well.

3) Chi’s Korean Tacos I can’t hype that place up enough. Chi is rough around the edges, crazy Florida man. Don’t be offended if he seems mean to you he’s just like that. I’ve eaten here more than anywhere else in Eugene. Rice balls are my favorite, ask for the awesome sauce AFTER he hands you the food. the breakfast burritos he makes are a great cure for hangovers. Will be eating at chi’s long as I live here.

I left my purse like an idiot, but they went above and beyond to get it back to me.

Everything's all there, and I'm just super grateful.

Did you managed to sell the stocks at the peak and if so, did that make you rich?

I am curious to hear stories from the ex employees.

Hi friends! You may have already seen me posting about the group I’m trying to start, Eugene Creation Exchange. So far we have done jewelry making, collage, movie night, paint by numbers.

I’ve found that I’m putting in a LOT of effort into planning events, inviting friends and anyone I run into that might be interested. I make event posters, reserve venues, buy all necessary supplies. I don’t want to give up, but I feel like I’m doing something wrong!

It’s been fun, however we’ve had an inconsistent turn out each time. How do I get the same people to come back? Also, I’ve had lots of trouble getting members to participate in discussions about future events, their availability, etc. I don’t want to make this a chore and I totally understand that people have busy lives, but I guess I just had different expectations.

I could use some tips from people who either have experience in coordinating group meet ups, or what you’d like to see as a group member. Thanks for your help in advance!

This morning at 11:50am my wife and I were at the winco in west eugene (4275 Barger Dr Eugene, OR 97402 United States) we had our little can in a carrier and she got out and ran off we spent over an hour trying to find her with no success, shes small with black fur with spots of brown and orange, she has green eyes and she was wearing a green camo vest if anyone finds her could you please send me a text message losing her really broke our hearts

I must say, l love bicycling past this! The new bridge is wonderful.

Here is the full list of boycotted goods https://boycottbigfoot.now/

Once again I am not a Teamster and do not represent the striking workers in any official capacity. I am a union carpenter and DSA member who helps out with the strike as much as I can.

It is day 108 of the strike. It started out with Bigfoot Beverages not bargaining in good faith and demanding the workers lose their pension and switch to a 401k, the workers are now fighting to keep their union.

Some highlights

-Bigfoot Beverages has threatened all strikers with permanent replacement. That goes against labor law as this is a ULP strike and the workers have protections. -Bigfoot policy changed and eliminated the daily overtime threshold, an employee must now work 40+ hours a week to qualify for any overtime. -The striking workers have had their healthcare removed as Bigfoot Beverages states they are no longer employees. -Teamster held a rally on Dec 24th to ask governor Kotek for support. -On November 26th Bigfoot Beverages claimed it had withdrawn its recognition of the union representing employees. Stating they had received a petition from a majority of members. In reality this was a petition signed by the scab workers, and it is a violation of labor law. For decertification to happen the NLRB must conduct an election https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/the-law/employees/decertification-election

It’s been a long fight, and the Teamsters are not giving up, the workers must win. Spirits have been very high this week, Teamsters and community orgs have been sending people out to put up posters and fliers. Apparently Bigfoot is having their scabs take them down, what a fine use of scab time.

Striking Teamsters also spoke to some more bars this week and have convinced even more to join the boycott. The strikers have years long relationships with these people, you can’t just replace that. It’s good to see how many people are willing to stick with the workers and be on the right side of history.

I wish that I had more updates for you all, unfortunately since Eric Forrest and Andy Moore have refused to come to the negotiating table, there has been no progress with negotiations.

They have hired out of state scabs for nearly double what the striking workers earned, in addition to 24/7 security. They are losing customers and business support. Simply put, there is no way that they are not losing money since they have less income and more expenses. This is now a test of how greedy Eric and Andy are. How willing are they to run the company into the ground to get rid of the union?

Here’s how you can help

-Join the boycott, there is a lot on this list and it’s easy to slip up https://boycottbigfoot.now/

-Join the line and show your support. Bring supplies if you can, water and hand warmers are always appreciated.

-Tell Bigfoot what you think of them. Call them and tell them to come back to the table or leave them a 1 star review and call them union busters.

-Boycott Fast Track Carwash, it is owned by Eric Forrest, don’t give him your money.

-Eric Forrest sits on the board of directors for Umpqua bank, if you have an account there you can complain and ask for him to be removed.

-Andy Moore sits on the board of directors for Summit bank, if you have an account there you can complain and ask for him to be removed.

-Help us put up posters and hand out fliers to get the word out and annoy the bosses. Sign up here and say that you are interested in the "how you heard about us" box https://boycottbigfoot.now/contact-us/

Thank you for all of the support!

The photos of the folks on the line are provided by a local photographer who came out and took them out of the goodness of his heart. Please check out his Instagram, he's a great guy and has more strike photos there. https://www.instagram.com/m5n5d?igsh=dHV1emhjeHVpN3Vu

New homeowner here. I understand that the water table is high here, and water is often a problem, leading to many people getting sump pumps.

With all the rains we've been having, I went into my crawlspace to check on things and discovered that maybe 1/10th or 1/20th of the ground has puddles of water. Maybe a centimeter deep max, so it's not bathing the posts in water (since they're on concrete blocks), but obviously still not ideal. Most of the ground is covered with vapor barrier (although it's a mess and not 100% covered)--the bulk of the water seems to be seeping in the sides through the foundation, especially near downspouts which aren't piped all the way to the street anymore (collapsed pipes), but only have those above-ground 3-foot-long plastic downspout extenders.

Is this worth spending lots of money to fix, or par for the course around here?

(BTW, to give a sense of the seasonal cycles: In the summertime, it's nearly all dry--maybe one tiny puddle.)

Going to Willamette for the first time next weekend and my girlfriend has just started to dabble in some black runs. Wanted to see if there was any local knowledge for progression from easier blacks to harder blacks?

Any help is appreciated!

Frontside - Eagle's Flight

• Good Time Charlie

• High Lead

• Timburr

• Success

• RTS

Backside: - June's Run

• Northern Exposure

Anyone aware of bars in Eugene that back either the Minnesota Vikings or the Detroit Lions? I'd like to watch the game that's on tonight after 5PM. If it's dog friendly, that's a bonus. My boys been couped up too long.

Recently my physical health has greatly diminished and I find myself unable to do my previous job. Does anyone know of any companies hiring remote workers or even office jobs that aren’t physically intensive in the area? I’m not really sure what to do as I’m still a fairly young adult and I don’t really want to be on disability for the rest of my life from such a young age. Any help is appreciated :)

I scheduled an appointment with Safeway for tomorrow but can’t find anything about the cost without insurance anywhere. Worried the Covid booster is going to be out of my price range but I have a baby to meet!!

When will it rain - Jackyl

Yours?

Hey there!

New to the Eugene area and have been having a hard time finding a place to rent out, was traveling but I've been off the road for a couple months now and getting some roots here. Just looking to pay rent somewhere with some cool, respectful people and have more of a space of my own than I got currently lol

Also looking for people to jam with or start a music project! I do solo gigs occasionally but miss playing with a group. I'm a singer/guitarist mainly into folk/blues/alt/punk but I enjoy playing guitar for any projects or whatever (rap, noise, etc.)

New ideas please! I have old ideas: so, Not defy Not get air Not a pool Not the arcade/bowling (at valley river) Thank you!

I love you. Today at the Q st. Fred Meyers was my second time seeing you around and I just gotta say, love the energy you’re putting out there.

Where can I find kolaches? I’m craving one so bad back at home they had them at every donut shop. They only sell donuts here :( Edit: I’m talking about the pigs and blanket kolache not the sweet kolache
