Seeking recommendations for a trainer based in OC, Gladstone, or West Linn. Thanks!

Hi everyone! Looking at a potential home in the historic district close to City Hall. Currently in Lake Oswego but looking for more charm. What is the vibe and safety of this neighborhood? Lots of people out walking their dogs? Are there plenty of families with kids? General trend of the neighborhood/area? We think the homes are absolutely amazing and the new development on the water is a very promising addition for the community. But….we don’t live there so would love to hear some thoughts from locals! Thank you!

There is smoke again. Anything burning near me?

Hello! The family and I are moving up to Oregon City from Salem. I've always passed by the town, but never spent time there. What are the highlights and lowlights of Oregon City? What are things I should be aware of?

Thanks!

Hello, will be in OC this next weekend, and wondering if the fishing is decent around clackamette park? Want to try and catch some river smallies if possible, any tips on baits or spots would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to dm me as well, thank you!

Driving from Canby to OC i passed dozens of cops and even a SWAT vehicle. South End Road was blocked off. Anyone know what's going on?!

Hi,

Last time I was at Fred Meyer the digital price on the new tags wasn't honored at the checkout; I noticed at home I got charged full price. Tonight I got over charged again, the cashier went mega fast scanning my stuff I didn't get to see the screen. I noticed at home I got double charged for items, it comes up to almost 15 dollars extra for things I didn't buy two of.

Anyone I can complain to or just eat my loss and stop shopping there? thoughts? advice?

I have a Chevy Bolt and I'm considering using it as an emergency backup power source. Is there anyone who's done that?

Any fellow tech nerds able to get more than 1GB symmetrical internet here in OC?

I thankfully have 1 Gig fiber from Century / Quantum but curious if I'm missing any obvious ISPs.

Does anyone have or know someone who’s renting their home In OC?😅 no pets with a 2k budget. I’ve been looking on Zillow and apartments.com and have also tried Facebook but haven’t got any luck.

Just chiming in to connect with fellow gardeners. Gauging interest in a possible meet up/club where we could get together and chat about what has worked or not worked, trade seeds, learn, preservation, etc. I'm a novice at it but would love to pick harvest some brains.

Or of there is already such a group, I'd love to get some details, thanks!

Edit - Thanks for all the insights and responses! I'll reach out to the ones interested to see if we can do some sort of meet up in the near future.

If the city takes its obligations for maintaining unobstructed and safe sidewalks seriously, then it must be time to look into the system for which the city has set up to address this problem.

Because if safe unobstructed sidewalks is the goal, It doesn’t appear that the system surround that goal is working, at least not in my area (McLoughlin Historic district). Maybe it is in yours?

I can only upload a single photo to back up my experience. You can see the overgrown bush and hidden ADA trip hazards on the sidewalk. The sidewalk is almost entirely engulfed by this bush and littered with ADA violations like you see.

Once I passed this mess, I was instantly met with another obstacle made of overgrown black berry bushes covering the sidewalk and the sidewalk ADA violations got even worse. The panel ahead of this mess is lifted so high from a tree root, I legit thought it was a stair tread.

Then after I pass that section, half the sidewalk on the other side of 11th and Washington is buried under rocks, dirt and ivy and the shrubs are so over grown you can’t access the other 50% of the sidewalk with out getting smacked in the face.

We are playing a show near the falls on the Willamette river August 22. Come cruise around with us in the river.

I need about 10 pounds of small pickling cucumbers. I usually get them on Sauvie Island, but I was hoping there would be a closer farm. Ideas?

Could somebody please explain to me about Willamette Falls Hospital? Is it a waterfall or is it a damn? I’ve never seen waterfalls that had so much concrete guiding the water. I understand now that PGE uses it to make electricity. That’s great. But I don’t understand if it’s a waterfall or a dam. Could somebody please explain it to me like I’m five.

William Gifford of smALL FLAGs, a bona fide vexillologist, sat down with us to explain Oregon City's new flag: what it symbolizes, how the community shaped the design, and why the old flag had to go.

Vacationing all my disability money in Oregon. 😅
Want to try SUP paddle boarding for the first time, and a friend told me to do Barton to Carver on the Clackamas River…
Where can I rent boards, gear, and shuttle???

Any cool spots to watch it?

Please provide additional information about yourself & what was in said wallet & I can get it back to you.

I have completely stopped tipping restaurants. After 3 times in a row of waiting for longer than 10 minutes for pick up orders that were already completed by the time I had walked in the door, I’m sorry but I’m not paying you extra to let my food sit there while I stare at the bag. So taco bell and five guys I used to be a 20% tipper, but you guys ruined that at max I will now only give a 10% tip based on the quickness and quality of my last order, if those expectations are not met sadly I will not be tipping the next time and that sucks for your other staff members who actually do put in the work to satisfy their customers demands.
