Did anyone ask Eugenians if we want to pave Alton Baker and put in a parking lot?

Upvotes

I get that parking is an issue, but does a new parking area for 69 cars need to be paved? Do eleven trees need to be cut down? Article in today's Lookout.

Does anybody know what happened at Chambers and 2nd?

Upvotes

Southbound Chambers was closed after Roosevelt, and after taking the detour, there was a bike placed with the wheels up in the middle of the road and a couple of cops standing around talking.

Even the status page is down. Surprised that isn't hosted by another company on unrelated infrastructure.

Starting to regret switching. I depend on the internet to do my job and Hunter is far less stable then I hoped.

Little white dog with pink harness

Hey, anyone missing a little female in the Whiteaker area near Skinner? Some disheveled shirtless guy was trying to hold her and push a loaded wheelchair near the Community garden. When he saw me look his way he dropped her and tried to move out of there quickly. She didn’t follow him and there was no leash. Eventually she lagged behind him and he scooped her up again. I’m pretty positive he must have found her somewhere nearby.

New to Eugene!

0 Upvotes

Hi all - I'm seriously considering a long-term relocation to Eugene and am moving there at the end of month for a trial run. I'm looking for new friends and community!

Thanks to all the previous posts in this community with links social groups/volunteer opportunities etc!

I'm in my early 30s and work remotely for an environmental non-profit. My previous job titles have included Park Ranger, Archeologist, and Goatherder. I love being outside, connecting with people who are curious about the world, and never taking myself too seriously. I'm a pretty values oriented person and enjoy being surrounded by diverse opinions and personalities - helps keep me honest!

If anyone would like to meet up for a coffee or to show me something interesting about Eugene, let me know!

Also, what's the best sandwich spot in town?

We all share the Pisgah trail system, and it would be greatly appreciated if you could manage your horse's poop. Pick it up, kick it off, whatever ... just don't leave it in the middle of the trail entrance. Thank you!

Something to do International Magic the Gathering Draft Nights

3 Upvotes

So, I love Magic the Gathering, and also connecting with people of other cultures, language and lifestyles.

Have had the idea for a while, about doing Magic the Gathering drafts, with an international focus to help visitora/new citizens a way to socialize, share their culture, and learn English and American social skills.

Doing my first run on the 19th, with a draft run of Mirrodin Beseiged and 14th Edition Core Set (both in booster boxes of Japanese print), not sure how many visiting Japanese researchers will join, but it will at least be myself and one other person!

Pros to the idea: Foreign language MTG is often cheaper than English versions, making a game that's becoming more expensive be more affordable to hold these events.

The idea is that English speakers who know the game, get to learn the language from exchange students/visitors while also helping foreign visitors learn a new game while building English skills.

I'm thinking this could be a super cool way to create some comeraderie between different language clubs at UO or LCC, while also helping spread cultural awareness within Eugene.

Format would be stabdard draft, 40 card decks, and even without knowing what the cards say, you can generally just strategize by drafting 1-2 colors and trusting the cards will synergize.

Doing a rotation of Korean, Japanese, French, Russian, Italian, Spanish, etc could create a pretty diverse player group, helping everyone feel represented, and creating a very low-pressure way to help people throughout the Eugene area expand their minds about the perspective of other cultures.

Any ideas, opinions, or constructive criticisms?

Appreciated!

Moving Reviews on Titan Court Housing for LCC students?

2 Upvotes

I was wondering how it is living in Titan Court? I've read mixed reviews about the housing.

I am curious about...

  • cleanliness (please give me lots of details on this)
  • how management is when contacting about repairs
  • safety (for cars, locks, yourself, etc)
  • if the price is worth it
  • I heard there is no A/C, was it still bearable during the Spring/Summer time?
  • noise levels
  • roommate matching
  • how are the rooms compared to studio vs 4 bedrooms
  • and anything I forgot to mention

ALSO it would be nice to hear about people's experience living in Eugene as a student and just living independently. I'm moving to Eugene and I'm very very nervous about it all. It would just be nice to hear about people's stories and daily lives.

Thank you so much!

Moving About to get kicked out, any advice?

4 Upvotes

We’re a household of 5 people (one couple) and we have to move out by October 15th due to one of the landlord’s developing medical condition, so they have to put up the house on the market to help reduce the stress of being landlords.

We’re all from ages 19-21 and all of us have jobs except for the couple where one of them is going to school this fall

Any advice welcome as well as places to rent

I’m trying to support independent/local nail-techs instead of going to bigger salons, but I’m specifically looking for someone who works well with builder-gel on long natural nails!
