A fishing trip on Lake Billy Chinook turned tragic Aug. 18, when a man experienced a cardiac event as he swam to retrieve his friend from their fishing boat as it drifted away into the lake. Vaughn Alan Waugaman and a friend had spent the evening fishing on a small aluminum boat in Lake Billy […]
It’s not hyperbole that winning the “Best Brewer” category — in beer-crazed Bend — might be one of the most illustrious “Best Of” categories there is.

Stepping into Revival Vintage feels like entering a cocktail party attended by disembodied — if gloriously outfitted — party guests, transported from any number of the 20th Century’s fashion eras.

That much was clear when the Victorian Café owner/executive chef, took part in our photo shoot for Best Bloody Mary — an award that Nolan’s brunch destination has won, what, nearly 20 times in a row? Chatting with Source reporters, Nolan insisted that no conversation about Bloody Marys was appropriate […]
Nope, that’s not a typo; the Bent Alley Cat Races has yowled to life.
