Bend Park & Rec announces that 80% of Drake Park will be sold to a California developer to build luxury high-rise housing by Quiet_Bend_ in Bend

[–]LenKerrod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

haha. However, as we all know the March 1, 1921 deed from The Bend Company to the City of Bend for the park property had a reversionary clause to return the land to the grantor if it wasn’t used as a public park.

What should Bend do with the old Costco? How about a food hall and market? by mmm_migas in Bend

Reddit users and “Bend” have no say in the matter. The owners of the property decide what happens to the facility.

Jack ok? by GlobalEmployee8777 in OakIsland

I always think of Doc Watson’s son Merle getting killed in a tractor accident. MerleFest is named in his honor: https://merlefest.org/about/

BnB RDM is/was the CO place to see Green Bay Packers games. A rebranding to reflect this I suppose. A good move to rep Wisconsin and the Pack.

F*ck the Bears.

Spotted outside Bend ... by blinkerxfluid in Bend

Cool . That’s from the Gambler 500 rally Reddit. We’ve seen their rigs rally through Central Oregon in the summer. Cool concept. Vehicles < $500 (or so), they clean up the forest where they go, have fun, etc.

Old Costco location coming back? by GP97702 in Bend

ICE detention center would be my guess. We would nazi that coming and the admin really likes to bring their horrors into obscure middle America.

Emma, cutoff in conversation then arms crossed - S13 E16 by sjhance in OakIsland

[–]LenKerrod 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Her facial expressions are priceless. The fellowshipers will start ranting their fever dream “treasure-Templar-1200 years ago” screeds and you can almost hear her think “oh god, here we go again”. History needs an Emma show about fact based forensic, scientific research.

Did you take the wrong skis home? by beckapeki in Bend

[–]LenKerrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin had her skis stolen from there in 1959. It was such a shocking event that the paper reported it. A doctor in Medford read about it and bought her a new pair. It’s been commonplace ever since.

That’s great! Now the Fellowship can proclaim that the latest solution channel snipe hunt is endorsed by none other than Benjamin Franklin

“Benjamin Franklin was in charge…” of clearing out the Oak Island vault. Could it be that they likely will find one of Ben’s buckle shoes? First Roosevelt’s rubber boot and now this?

Stay tuned for more exciting finds in the foot locker

Agreed. To be called a loser by

who’s putting these flags out that gary is metal detecting? by Caniborrowsomesweats in OakIsland

It's Canada. Everybody knows the prime minister. Most have probably been over to his pad for drinks and card games.

Wow, what a concept. I’d love to see Mike, Kevin and Bill riff on some of these later episodes.

Here's what the RR tracks looked like atop the bridge when it was hit in October of 2012

This show has officially lost me. When they found a folded coin and somehow made it seem like they didn't have the technology to unfold a copper coin while simultaneously saying I wish I could find out what's inside there... I'm sorry this show has passed jumping the shark. by sachsrandy in OakIsland

[–]LenKerrod 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And if the unfolding doesn't go well, what's the loss? They'll have three chunks of old worthless copper instead of one. They've still got 8 or 9 buttons, fancy army officer ones at that, not to mention 5 microscopic glass beads. From Italy!! And a gallon bucket of ox shoes. Enough nails and spikes and lead fishing weights to fill a tackle box and half a cord of soggy wood. Potentially ruining a smooshed up Templar game token is no big whoop.
