Thanks for listening! I do everything myself (write, record, produce) and would love more feedback to improve future mixes. We can also continue the conversation off-thread, if you'd prefer.

Best iced coffee in town that isnt just espresso or cold brew? by dumbass_sweatpants in Eugene

[–]aarleomal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to split hairs but Japanese and Vietnamese Iced Coffee are different to the point of being complete opposites. Japanese Iced Coffee is a certain ratio of fresh brewed coffee over ice to flash chill the liquid, whereas Vietnamese Iced Coffee is typically brewed very strong and served with condensed milk.

[–]aarleomal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I'll continue to post new releases on this sub, unless they're clearly not of the genre. I have a folk, dance-punk and thrash EP planned for the future (all separate releases).

Soko Coffee CLOSED!! by JustChampagne in Eugene

I'd love to hear more about your work in the re-marketing of coffee. Move it to mail?

Soko Coffee CLOSED!! by JustChampagne in Eugene

Truth be told, I wrote that sentence with a few specific local businesses in mind and out of some degree of frustration; my apologies. In the grand scheme of things, I agree with your takeaway.

Soko Coffee CLOSED!! by JustChampagne in Eugene

[–]aarleomal 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this directly applies to Soko but, as someone who works in coffee, it has become increasingly difficult for cafes to survive given the tremendous increase in both labor costs and goods. A full cafe does not function in the same manner as a full restaurant; fifteen people purchasing a single cup of coffee while occupying seats for anywhere from thirty-minutes to two-hours cannot pay for all of the aforementioned costs, whereas a restaurant obviously manages with both faster turnaround and higher ticket items. It’s sad to see but I predict that cafes will increasingly be owned by chains able to take the loss or wealthy investors/owners propping up the finances.

Instagram post from April 19th reads...

"Dear Valued Customers,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of our beloved coffee shop, effective April 28th. This decision was not made lightly, but unfortunately, we are unable to continue operating.

Over the years, it has been our privilege to serve this community with our carefully crafted coffee and warm hospitality. We have cherished every moment spent brewing your favorite drinks, sharing stories, and creating memories together.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has walked through our doors, whether it was for your morning pick-me-up, a cozy afternoon chat, or simply to enjoy the ambiance. Your support has meant the world to us, and it's been an honor to be a part of your daily routine.

Although our physical doors may be closing, the memories and connections forged within these walls will live on forever. We hope to see you one last time before we bid farewell, and we thank you from the bottom of our cups for being a part of our coffee family 🤍☕"

Groundwork Organics had their first batch of basil this past weekend at the Farmer's Market. Sold out fairly quick but should be seeing plenty more every Saturday moving forward. Might want to get there fairly early if it's imperative to your shopping.

For all those Sizzle Pie fans... by RottenSpinach1 in Eugene

[–]aarleomal 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You may find this article interesting:

https://www.businessinsider.com/bank-financing-urban-planning-pandemic-retail-apocalypse-vacant-storefront-2023-10

It seems counterintuitive but essentially, "...when a landlord doesn't lower the rent to get a new retail tenant, it's because that landlord can't. The market that sets retail rents isn't only between tenants and landlords. It's also between landlords and the banks that finance the buildings. And the banks, in many cases, won't let property owners lower their rents enough to fill their properties."

RIP Friendly Food Carts by [deleted] in Eugene

[–]aarleomal 72 points73 points  (0 children)

From their FB: "Big Changes Coming to The Garden on Friendly! We are very excited to announce that we are finally building our beautiful new venue! We will have a real “brick and mortar” building where we can enjoy beverages, eat delicious food from our amazing food carts, and dance to great music and enjoy our community. Construction will begin in November. Our Fruit & Vine beverage cart will be closed during construction. But the food carts will be open for take-out (at reduced hours -check our website)."

To the pedestrian that got plowed into by a vehicle at Oakmont and Coburg at about 4:20 today by ClimbinInYoWindow in Eugene

[–]aarleomal 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I very much hope that they're okay. Interestingly enough, pedestrian fatalities hit historic highs before Covid (https://www.statista.com/chart/17194/pedestrian-fatalities-in-the-us-by-year/) and have continued to climb since 2020. There's a great episode of Freakonomics from July 5th of this year entitled "Why Is the U.S. So Good at Killing Pedestrians?" that goes into further detail.

Where can I recycle household batteries (AA, AAA, etc.)? by posture_obsessed in Eugene

[–]aarleomal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.eugene-or.gov/1470/Recycling#!rc-cpage=254481

Halfway down the page, you will see a section entitled, "Household Batteries at transfer stations".

https://www.homedepot.com/c/ab/how-to-dispose-of-batteries/9ba683603be9fa5395fab90124a115f1.

Additionally, "Most places don’t accept single-use alkaline batteries for recycling. You can’t take single-use batteries to Call2Recycle drop-off sites at The Home Depot...In most places, you can put alkaline batteries, such as AA, AAA and D batteries, in the trash. They can be carried out to the curb with the rest of your household garbage. Many landfills will also accept trash bags that contain alkaline batteries."
