OT: southern oregon

[Guest guest]

Do you mean Tee Time, as in the golf tongue in

cheek name cafe, or is it some other place?

 

i also like to browse the antique shops. The " first friday "

nights are always fun, too. GP is a cute town i think....

the people are warm and friendly for the most part.

It sure is growing fast though. A lot has changed since

we moved out here [from NY] in 1997.

 

We have a new healthfood store that just opened Nov. 6th.

It is in a new stripmall area by Si Casa Flores off the

parkway... called Gooseberries. Some family from

California that moved up to make a store similar to

a Trader Joes; that is their intention from what i heard

thru the grapevine. It has a lot of growing to do to achieve

Trader Joe quality, IMO... but i really hope thay can make

a go of it here. We need more places like that especially since

our two Market of Choice stores all turned into Ray's. ugh...

We give thanks for bounty, health and happiness.

We take joy in each other

on this day;

For our family we give thanks

For this harvest we thank the wealth of nature

and the one who from the beginning of time

Loved all creation.

My sympathies, pt -- our Market of Choice in Cottage Grove turned into a

Ray's, too. They still have pretty much all of the wonderful M of C

vegetarian and vegan things (so far), but they no longer take other stores'

coupons -- bummer! At least they're still paying a nickel per paper bag

the customer brings in to reload groceries. I'm only 25 or so miles from

the Markets of Choice in Eugene, which I go to every week or two to visit

my mother, so I still get a shot of those nice grocery stores -- also TJ's,

several good natural food stores, a Latin market, two Chinese markets, a

Vietnamese market, and Cash & Carry. So I don't feel terribly deprived,

just weary of driving so much.

Yes I meant Tee Time. Does Denny still own it?

 

What is the 'first Friday " ?

 

I'm going to have to get down there soon. I do like Grants Pass. Eugene

too.

Ashland is another shining example of what Oregon has to offer. The

Shakespearean Festival there has certainly attracted the attention of people

throughout the nation too. Wondering if there are any non-Oregonians on the

list? They must be drooling about now and they haven't even seen our coast line,

the most beautiful in the states bar now (not even New England's coast).

Re: OT: southern oregon; was:UK weather?

 

 

Hello. Another Southern Oregonian here. Been busy lately, so haven't

chimed in for awhile, but I still scan the posts. Ashland has been

sunny. Today I had most of my layers off from late morning to after

sundown a bit, though it gets cold fairly fast once that sun goes

down. The other day we had a warm wind for the full moon. Rain and

snow coming soon, though, according to the forecasts...

Not sure. Come down and poke your head in there.

On the first friday of every month the downtown

merchants stay open later, some hire live entertainment,

serve cookies and punch etc. Just a fun festive feel

everywhere you go; very family friendly and leaves one

with a pleasant feeling of community.

There's nothing worth the wear of winning,

But laughter and the love of friends.

I am a non-Oregonian, I live in Connecticut.

 

I have been to Oregon however that was close to 25 years ago. My cousin was

married in Astoria, what a beautiful place that was.
