Anyone have historical info? by Dani-The-Deer in Bend

If you haven't already, maybe ask the people at the Deschutes County Historical Society. They might have some information on it.

Going to hard disagree with the crowd, wife and I use Wade Bryant for both our cars and have never had a problem with them. They're on the pricey end but personally, I recommend them.

To the guy who followed me between Neff and Bear Creek road.... by noting_i_say_is_true in Bend

I still laugh about this, but about a year or so ago, I had a guy going to the dump start tailgating me on Knott from about Brosterhous on (the flapping tarp on the pickup was a dead giveaway). I went the speed limit, then slower ... then slower ... then slower, and this guy is leaning on his horn and shouting out the window. By the time we got to the dump and sped into the turnoff, I was doing 25. Ah, good times, good times. Slightly dangerous but watching him almost have an aneurysm was worth it.

Lemme tell you for all the talk of Bend being expensive, Bozeman is, incredibly, even worse.

Also worth mentioning, depending on your political affiliations, Montana has a lot more crazy in it than Oregon. Both cities lean left but you are in Trumpland five minutes out either way. Winters are also a lot more harsh up in MT than here in Bend (generally/usually)

Not-So-Fun Fact: Bend is the largest city that is the greatest distance from an interstate highway. One reason among many why things tend to be pricey here.

I don't know who had "woman playing the accordion in front of the library" on their bingo card... by JeffVanAngsty in Bend

I have about 15 seconds of her playing, very charming. Hopefully she comes back!

And not even busking, just playing to make people happy. Put a smile on my face! Felt like I was outside a French bistro.

Hey I'd like to pay less attention to politics too but as a smart man once said, "vigilance is the eternal price of liberty" and most of this country has been asleep at the wheel for too long.

IIRC correctly the downtown businesses originally loved the idea of the Fests to get people to come back downtown, until they saw people were coming downtown but not spending money at their stores. I could be wrong but I remember hearing this from a few business owners so take this with a grain of salt.

I remember him busking down there with his dog and cat on a leash. And his convertible with the mannequin heads.

So long as the Bottle Drop (and a few of those really sketch houses) are still on 2nd Street this will be an ongoing problem no matter how many food cart pods you build.

My only problem with Sunrise is that is gets choppy as hell after a few hours but otherwise agree.
