The dream is real: Bend now has an official Asian market. Tomi Mart opened June 26, in the shopping center on the southeast corner of Third Street and Reed Market Road. The bright space, opened by Jess Scott and Natasha Dempsey, is named in honor of Scott’s daughter Tomiko, who in turn is named after […]
The Podski has a new food cart serving simple sweet treats, New Zealand style. Cassandra Price and Taylor Samuelsen opened Birdsong Ice Cream in mid June, featuring Alden’s organic ice cream that gets mixed together with fresh berries. Currently, that includes strawberries, marionberries, raspberries or blackberries in cups, cones or waffle cones. Toppings include freshly […]
The first time I walked into Mill Works Pub, I knew it was gonna be something different. Normally when you walk into a place with “Pub” in the title, the TVs scattered throughout the place will have some type of sports ball playing on them (or multiple). But here the TV near the bar was […]
A fire in the early morning hours of June 20 left the beloved east side location for El Sancho destroyed. The cause of the fire was ruled accidental.
