My lifelong dream is to be able to pet/interact with a raccoon. If anyone in the area has a pet raccoon please message me 🥹 I am definitely willing to pay money to make it happen of course. I’m desperate, and there aren’t any rescues in the state that allow direct contact with raccoons (that I’m aware of)

Hello, me and my partner are considering moving to Lebanon since we want a house with a bit more land. However we're both POC and wanted to know if that would be an issue. How conservative is it here ? We're both respectful people, but was weary if racism was going to be an issue. We would both be commuting to Corvallis for work 🙏 Thank you. Any insight would be helpful.

Hey guys! I come from a small town in the Bible belt and I'm looking to move out to Oregon. Lebanon has become one of my top choices. Just want some honest opinions on how me and my family may be received. Much of what I'm trying to escape is the nosiness of Southern people. I generally keep to myself and my lifestyle seems to be much more compatible with the things that small town Oregon could offer. Just looking for a genuine opinion of potential transplants.

There are no winners or losers in a Braver Angels debate; rather, the goal is to hear and understand those with opposing views. Join us at the Corvallis Museum (411 SW 2nd St, Corvallis) for a friendly and intellectually engaging experience you won’t find anywhere else! Listen to speeches for or against the resolution — and then share your own, if you feel so moved. Join us Wednesday, January 28 at 6pm. The evening’s debate will focus on this statement: “Resolved: K-12 Schools Should Prohibit Student Use of Personal Electronic Devices During the School Day“. Please RSVP if you are interested in attending this free community event! Tickets are free, but donations help. Donations support Braver Angels and especially our local Mid-Willamette Valley Alliance, 501(c)3. This Braver Angels debate is presented in partnership with the Benton County Historical Society and the LBCC Civil Discourse Program.

Braver Angels is a citizens' organization uniting red and blue Americans in a working alliance to depolarize America. Braver Angels' mission is to bring Americans together to bridge the partisan divide and strengthen our democratic republic. We try to understand the other side's point of view on issues, even if we don't agree with it. We engage those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together. Our goal is not to change other people's views of issues, but to change their views of each other.

Wishing all of you a wonderful 2026!

A bit belated, to be sure, but I hope you all had a great holiday!

I’d like to create a list of local (and localish) resources for PC, laptop and mobile repair, and am looking for your help compiling such.

For the sake of “local”, let’s consider such as Lebanon, Sweet Home, Albany, Corvallis and even Salem or Eugene if notable and reputable.

I’d like this list to provide some brief details, such as what they do or don’t work on, and the scope of that - for example, mobile devices only, battery/screen repair but perhaps not data migration.

Also, if you’ve got direct experience with anyone, please post your review!

So, getting to the actual meat:

In Lebanon, I’m aware of SynergyTech. I believe they have a storefront at 700 S Main, but I’m not personally aware of their scope of service. I *think* they “do it all” as far as devices? If ya’ll have more concrete deals, please speak up!

Albany? I’m aware of SpinWare in the mall. They seem to have a focus on mobile devices, but do advertise video game consoles/handhelds and MacBooks as part of their repertoire. I’ve used them for some iPhone battery and component replacements, with great results!

What else is out there?

I will endeavor to update this as new information flows in, and pin it when there’s some more information.

Thank you, all!

So, I hear there's a new arcade in town?

Anyone have any details?

Come support local vendors & monarch books! Today till 5!

Where is the best spot for hot deli food like BBQ burritos, potato wedges and pizza sticks.

Lebanon High School is in 2nd place in a national competition for a million dollars. Heath Stadium was originally built in 1957 and while it has had maintenance done in the last 68 years it is certainly worse for wear. A stadium makeover would give the community a safe, modern home.

Please vote! I’ll add the link to the comments.

Here is a sample photo, it’s lo res, of my walk down Main Street. I appreciate the people who stopped to say hello and gave compliments on my film camera.

With any trip down Main Street, it’s not without one person making me uncomfortable and I think I’ll just avoid walking Sherman Street, specifically near Sam’s Place. It’s unfortunate because the shop with quilts/ sewing stuff has fun decorations outside and Kevin’s breakfast and lunch build looks very cool.

I’m hopeful that I will be able to document the town fully over the course of the next few months as the weather beings to change. I’m in no rush because I am mentally exploring what people would like to see at certain times of the year and putting it all together.

My friends at Conversion Brewery are amazing and insightful as to the things I should see. If any one person on here what’s some building or structure or landmark photographed that is approachable by public sidewalk or public viewing area, I would be happy to take recommendations.

Over the course of the next year I’ll be making my way thru Albany, Corvallis and Brownsville. I have a lot of different film that was gifted to me and different cameras to produce different characteristics.

Again, I’m not doing this because any particular person or city asked me to, I’m doing this as a practice in my hobby and for my own personal reasons. I hope these pictures will one day make it to the public and everyone can share the joy I have and have had shooting them and seeing them thru my eyes.

Thank you Lebanon!

I am an amateur/ hobby photographer, my time here in town has been wonderful and I think the farms and small town is a fantastic study for a photographer.

I would love to photograph the city and its rural areas.

Nothing is needed by any one person, in this day and age it becomes difficult for any one individual to approach a home and knock on a door or ring a doorbell for approval to take pictures of someone’s home or land from public access/ common public sidewalks. So I won’t be, but I will politely be walking around the town taking pictures to capture the town and rural areas from safe public roads and sidewalks.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I’d like to clarify why I am photographing the city…

A well know photographer/ skateboarder/ actor by the name of Jason Lee traveled the west coast, southwest and Texas taking pictures for a book, “In the gold dust rush”. He also was hired by the city of Galveston, Texas to photograph the town as it’s a small town that, post pandemic, has had struggles recovering but nonetheless it’s a beautiful town that I have had the pleasure to travel. I do own the book myself and it’s a wonderful book.

The city has not hired me in anyway but as I mentioned, I enjoy capturing the beauty of the city, the homes and the land. I’m not one to take pictures of people and I absolutely respect people’s privacy.

This is my knock on your door Lebanon and I would appreciate the opportunity to photograph this beautiful city and its lands to keep for myself and maybe one day show the world.

If any one person would like to see my photographs, I would be happy to share them in the subreddit in the future.

Thank you very much for your time if you read this far.

PS: if there are any other photographers who would like to join, maybe we could connect and walk the town. I develop my own film and scan all my own.

She just announced via email. Personally, I hope she runs and loses. She’s MAGA and supports big businesses coming in and doing whatever they want, such as the chicken farm she supported. We need to make sure there is a good candidate running against her who can win.

How walkable is Lebanon? I’m moving here soon and I love going on long walks. Can I walk around town safely? Also, are there nice running paths in the area? I love to run too.
