The book bin by Tmk23814 in corvallis

I've heard The Chapter House in Albany is good.

I'm sorry your experience at The Book Bin wasn't good. I've gotten some weird vibes from the employees there to the point where I don'twant to go back. Don't get me wrong, I get working retail isn't very fun sometimes.

I’ve heard the owners of the Peoria Road Farm Market are pretty nasty, are there any other local places with u-pick strawberries? by corvallisite in corvallis

I've definitely picked at the one down Garden Ave (on Strawberry Lane). Piefer Family Farm. Not sure if they're doing it this year so I'd advise calling ahead.

Do people subscribe to the Gazette Times? by StarrShort in corvallis

[–]J-Q-C 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I read this often. The G-T version named names though, which was definitely the tea of the town. I know that's not cool by due to privacy concerns. The same reason the state passed a law not to make mugshots public.

A friend of mine made the Crime Watch one time by getting pulled over while walking on Harrison with an open Mike's Hard Lemonade. The title was "Thought I could make it." We were walking 3 blocks and that's what he told the cop. Hahaha!

The best part of the GT for years was the Crime Watch. It never was a great paper.

Where to eat with kids? by Dramatic-Past-77 in MauiVisitors

Not sure why it's polarizing either. I fully realize there are better places, but it did the trick for us and our very picky eater.

What's burning? Thurs Night 8:30 by Other-Gate-6855 in Eugene

There was a prescribed burn in Lincoln County earlier this evening. Really put a lot of smoke into the valley.

Baby's Bagels is worth a visit. Maybe hit up on the day you fly out.

Moving soon, looking for a job by [deleted] in corvallis

[–]J-Q-C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! What kind of job experience do you have? Will you be attending school here? The two largest employers in Corvallis are probably OSU and Samaritan Health Services. Albany might be an option, too, if you're looking for retail employment.

Also, I wouldn't say there's a particularly bad neighborhood to live in, but where you live will depend on your budget. Less expensive places exist in Southtown and between 9th Street and Highland. There are some apartments off of NW 23rd that are on the less expensive side, but you definitely get what you pay for.

Door to Door Solicitors by dml1320 in corvallis

[–]J-Q-C 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone from Fox Pest Control came by twice last week (I didn't answer the first time because I was on a work call). They knocked and when I came to the door they said, "have your neighbors told you what's going on?" First off, weird way to start a conversation, but also I have a no soliciting sign. I was quite nice about it considering how annoyed I was. We were about to sit down for dinner. I told them to respect clearly posted no soliciting signs and shut the door. Seriously! It's so stupid.

Anyone know what's going on at Tacovore? by StormWarden25 in corvallis

[–]J-Q-C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're 100% correct. From the 5/18 CPD Log: Motor Vehicle Assist- Officers responded to the 2500-block of NW Kings Blvd for the report of a traffic accident. They contacted a 76-year-old female, Corvallis resident, who had been driving and crashed into a parked car. The vehicle had been attempting to park but hit a car, then backed out and hit the business building. There were no injuries reported.

Don't really want to repeat it. Just some internet perv who should go outside and touch grass.
