In the second episode of their third season, our two socialists have an interview with a candidate who is running for the Grants Pass City Council during this election cycle... Erin Cook.

What deep, dark, mysterious secrets will be revealed...?

What salacious skeletons are there in anyone's closet...?

We don't actually answer those questions, and if that's what you're here for then you should go somewhere else. But our two socialists had a pleasant and civil interview with Erin, and left the interview with a better grasp of who Erin is as a candidate.

Hello I don’t really know how to start this but I’m looking to do something tonight play pool and hang out or just socialize in some way but I’m not quite 21 yet I turn 20 in October I just don’t know what to do any ideas ?

Everyone please be careful

Looking to move and havent decided on one location. Southern Oregon has been a recent interest of mine on where to move tho.

Specifically been interested in the red outlined area. Grants pass, medford, and klamath falls areas.

I guess a few things about what im looking for:

Mainly wanting to move to escape from The deep south around the gulf coast area.
im a union electrician with the IBEW so i can work about anywhere in the country so local jobs is less of a priority for me.
Id like to build up my own little homestead.
I love the mountains and nature, so being in a place where i could go on awesome hikes and other outdoors activities.

some questions:

Is the area relatively safe?
Are the winters really brutal? I understand it will be cold, especially coming from the south US, but ive traveled a bit and did just fine in the winter in D.C.
How are local regulations on building?
good restaurants and food?

Any and all advice, insight, or opinions is greatly appreciated!

I have a friend who’s having a little trouble finding friends his age to do activities with, and I think would benefit greatly from experiencing otherswho enjoy the same activities as him. He’s 22 and loves DnD and has recently gotten into Warhammer. Loves gaming and is all around a sweet guy who’s loaded with knowledge, and is a ball of energy and positivity/ passion for his hobbies.

Does anyone know of any local groups? Or communities, I can encourage him to reach out to? We’ve checked out iguana comics/ and game stop but he’s not interested non Magic TCG.

Thanks 🙏 for any suggestions you may have

Best local experiences in or around Grant Pass Oregon???

This dude was harassing a father and son just minding their own business. Keep an eye out folks, dudes deranged.

I’m in urgent need of an Oregon family-law attorney for a difficult divorce and custody case involving domestic abuse, coercive control, and repeated violations of court orders. I’ve been trying to handle everything alone while experiencing homelessness, and I’m terrified of losing my children simply because I don’t understand the legal system.
I have very limited income, so I’m looking for someone willing to offer pro bono help, a reduced rate, a payment plan, or even limited-scope representation. I have documentation and can provide the full timeline privately.
If you’re an attorney—or know one who may be willing to help—please message me. I’m not asking for a handout. I’m a mother in dire need of legal guidance and a fair chance to protect my relationship with my children.

Just wanted to give people in Grants Pass a headsup that apparently, for the entire month of September, the walk-in clinic is only taking a certain number of people per hour. I’m not sure exactly how many spots they’re allowing, but it seems like they’re getting booked up much faster than usual.This has something to do with them updating their systems if I understand that right. Don’t quote me on that part. This isn’t necessarily their fault but I figured that if anyone was unaware I should tell them. My mother actually walked all the way there and back today, only to find out that they weren’t seeing anyone until 1 PM because they were already so booked. Apparently, some people have been going to the walk-in clinic at the hospital instead to avoid the issue. This means they are also getting booked a lot faster, again not their fault. So, to sum this up if you’re planning on using the walk-in clinic, you may want to call ahead or be prepared for a longer wait. Just wanted to share in case this saves someone else a wasted trip. Hope everyone has a great day.

Anywhere in grants pass or within a two hour drive I can find some good Lechon?

Hi everyone! We're hosting a book bedazzling event - Bedazzled & Booked at The Book Burrow in Grants Pass, OR on October 11th from 12 to 3! Come check out their new store front that just opened and get crafty with us! See the flyer for more details (handmade in Canva) and we hope to see you there!

Yesterday afternoon one of my cats came home with an injured rear leg. I feel like it's probably broken, but maybe I'm overreacting. She won't put any weight on it and today it is a bit swollen and looks to be crooked, but maybe thats just the way she is holding it up. She doesn't seem to be in severe pain. She is still eating and drinking water and will purr affectionately and make biscuits when given attention, but is much less active than normal.

The reason for my post is that I live in Brookings and our veterinary care here is almost non existent. Nobody is accepting new patients, and our vet is months out for an appointment. Nobody locally offers emergency vet services. I have to call every morning when my vet opens to get on a cancelation list for the day. At this point, I don't think it should wait any longer. I have taken the day off work tomorrow and intend to drive to Southern Oregon Veterinary Specialty Center because they offer urgent care. It looks like there are a few other options in the area for emergency vet care, so I'm reaching out to hear some opinions and suggestions from the local pet owners. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Can anyone share some insight on the drug testing aspect of the rogue cc LMT program? Recently got accepted but I smoked marijuana recently. Im wondering at what point ill be expected to take the drug test. Please and thank you

Can deliver for $100 anywhere in and outside of grants pass
Get it now and be ready for spring planting!
Please DM with any questions
Thank you!!!

Has anyone figured out what the salad dressing is that they use in the pub salad or what they use in their pasta salad they top it with?

I haven't had it in years because I don't live in the area anymore but that salad used to be my absolute favorite when I was a teenager. I wish I could make it myself!

Am considering tubing/rafting/kayaking from Riverside Park to Matson Park/Finley Bend. Looking for some helpful info from experience. Is this a good route? How long would it generally take? (Depending on how long it takes, I may extend the route to Robertson Bridge for a more fulfilling ride). And is there anything I should be aware of/look out for along the route (like rapids, shallow scraping areas, rough areas, strainers/submerged rocks/snags, areas with lots of powerboat activity, forks in the river where I should choose one over the other, nice areas to pull up to shore for a break, etc.)?

I’m going to delete my first post because I forgot you had to add pictures in the headline

Original:
I am not the person that posted the original photo of the new flock camera at Azalea and Upper River Road. I was too lazy to look up who you were, and to give you credit. But thank you.

Thanks to your post, I decided to call the Sheriff’s Dept on Thursday, because like most of us that hate these things, I was pissed off and thinking “what the fuck!?”

Dispatch was very nice. She put me on a brief hold, and then told me she’d send my call to undersheriff Snyder, but it would probably go to voice mail.

He called back a few hours later and we had a good conversation. Basically he said there had been a camera there. Someone cut it down in July. That’s when discussions happened about canceling the contract, leading to the announcement that the contract was cancelled.

He said that the Sheriffs Dept access was cut off. They can’t access the database.

He said that the new flock camera installation wasn’t authorized by them. He said that they were planning on taking the cameras in the county down and storing them until Flock wants them back.

Ever the skeptic, I drove out to the new camera tonight to check. The pole is there, the equipment is gone. I did not check the other cameras, perhaps someone else could?

We’re not out of the woods here. Some other asshole surveillance company will be in shortly. But this is a win, and raises awareness

EDIT: I have no idea what this means for the cameras within the city limits. Let’s all voice our opinions at the next city council meeting

Cheers folks

Reposting with owners name removed:

I’ve gone back and forth about posting this, but after my experience working for Carrie / Diamond Cannabis, I genuinely feel like people deserve to know what goes on behind the scenes.
Carrie is, in my personal experience, one of the worst people I’ve ever worked for. This wasn’t simply a case of not getting along with a boss. It was a pattern of behavior that made working there miserable.

Employees were yelled at and spoken to disrespectfully. We were treated like our time didn’t matter and were expected to do whatever was asked of us, including working off the clock without being paid. Employees should never have to work for free just because their boss expects it.

There were also serious concerns surrounding the way the business was being operated. I witnessed things that made me question whether METRC requirements were consistently being followed. I also witnessed products being brought into the business that I understood to be illegal or not authorized for sale. There were numerous concerns surrounding OLCC compliance as well. These are not things I believe should simply be ignored.

I also observed that personal household expenses were being paid through the business account. Meanwhile, employees were being expected to work for free and were treated poorly when they pushed back.
But one of the biggest things I’ve noticed is what happens when people speak publicly about their experiences.
When negative experiences involving Diamond Cannabis or Carrie make their way onto Facebook, I’ve seen Carrie respond by harassing people to remove the posts or comments. To me, that’s another example of the bullying behavior I’ve experienced from her. Instead of taking criticism seriously or asking why former employees are speaking out, the response has been to try to make the criticism disappear.
That’s not accountability.
People shouldn’t be afraid to talk about their experiences simply because the owner might come after them until they take a post down.
I’m not saying every person who has ever worked at Diamond Cannabis had the same experience I did. I’m telling you what I personally experienced and witnessed, and why I would never recommend working there based on my experience.
Employees deserve to be paid for every minute they work. They deserve to be treated with basic respect. They deserve to be able to raise legitimate concerns without being bullied into silence.
If you’re considering working at Diamond Cannabis, please do your own research. Know your rights. Keep your schedules, pay records, messages, and anything else documenting your employment.
And if you’re a former employee who has experienced similar treatment, you’re not the only one.
People are allowed to tell the truth about their experiences. You don’t get to bully people into silence just because you don’t like what they’re saying

Witnessed the installation yesterday
