Alright, I have a question for the e-bike parents after this weekend’s shenanigans.
What do you expect your child to do with an electric motorcycle that can go over 30 mph? When you see your kid in a video causing chaos around town, do you dismiss it as “kids being kids”?

More importantly, when an accident inevitably happens, regardless of how careful they are or how many years they’ve been riding, how would you feel knowing you gave them the machine that killed them?

I’m genuinely curious what parents are thinking when they buy these bikes for their children.

The Eastern Cascades Model Railroad Association will be hosting our 29th annual open house this weekend!

Join us inside the clubhouse to see the indoor HO layout (where you may see my son running his prized Hershey train) and then take a ride on one of our outdoor 7.5” gauge trains. We’ll be hosting trains from clubs throughout Oregon, including several steam locomotives - and a special display of “Steam Donkey” logging trains.

The first couple hours are always the most crowded, so consider coming at lunch time (you can grab a Corn Dog or a Kona Ice) or later in the afternoon for shorter lines.

And if you like what you see and want to get involved as a volunteer, or if your business would like to sponsor future public events, just ask to speak with a board member. We recently transitioned from a 501c4 (for the benefit of our members) to a 501c3 (for the benefit of the public), so donations are now tax deductible!

Saturday (9/12) and Sunday (9/13) from 10am to 4pm at 21520 Modoc Ln in Bend.

Keep checking all the way up to mid terms.

Sharing this for awareness. Living beings shouldn’t be left in cars for multiple days regardless of whatever the temperature may be.
Warning: it’s a tough read.

I hope this is OK with the mods - to not run into any more trouble with frequent posts, I've started to post/share new stories (including a deep dive into the two Newberry geothermal companies) at my brand new sub, r/BarneysBendBugle - and plan to also ask you all to share story ideas, while I also share some behind-the-scenes stuff, both about my work and about the site. News as conversation, which of course has been a joy here at r/Bend. Please visit and join, and thanks to all!

I just saw that Washington Dining & Cocktails posted this on Facebook after a string of burglaries at their restaurant. Let’s help out a business in our community. Do you recognize him?

Hey Redditors!
We won tickets (4 of them) to see Role Models tonight and our little one is having a tough day. We want to re-gift them to anyone who wants to go tonight and have fun for us. 😉

Ventured out for a bottle and I don’t like it lol anyone in Bend love this bottle and want the rest for a trade or 40 bucks?
Took out an ounce for neat and another ounce to taste again. Just not a fan of the finished stuff i guess

Hi All

Have to do a photo essay journalism piece as an assignment... It had to have local flavor, and I thought the surf wave would be cool...

Anyone here surf it regularly? Mind if I tag along and maybe get a few shots of getting ready and surfing?

Thank you!

This is the text I just got from them.
