Planning a road trip for the kids’ spring break? If not, no need to worry. Why leave Bend? Central Oregon has an endless amount of natural beauty with tons of trails and multiple parks to explore. But what about activities for kids who are tired of parents making them hike or bike all the time? […]
In Oregon we take Sasquatch (also known as Bigfoot) seriously. It’s one of the main legends associated with this state — so much so that when I travel and tell people I’m from Oregon, they ask if I’ve seen Bigfoot. I haven’t, but I also don’t spend that much time in the forest, to be […]

Bookish dialogue enveloped the back corner high-top table where eight women circled, books in tow, awaiting their hour of silent reading among restaurant-goers out for a Sunday afternoon drink at Broken Top Bottle Shop last month.

I‘ve said it before but it bears repeating: no one puts on a show like John Kish. He doesn’t just sell out performances of his productions, he sells out the entire run (believe me I know, I’ve tried and failed to get tickets before). The Greenhouse Cabaret‘s productions from “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” to […]
