Editor’s note: This issue of the Source Weekly has a little bit of everything that makes a weekly like ours so fun to read: Lively letters from readers, an opinion piece on an important current issue (in this case, police accountability), a feature that tells the real tales of locals dealing with a widespread issue […]
Editor’s note: Cannabis has been legal in Oregon for six years now, and believe it or not, this fine publication is still the only one east of the mountains with a dedicated column on the subject.

Editor’s note: The first few days of October are bringing plenty of fall cheer to the streets of both Bend and Sisters, with both Bend’s Fall Festival and the Sisters Folk Festival back on the docket this year. Seeing live music in the streets is one way to spark the joy that so many of […]
Editor’s note: This week’s cover image is what is commonly referred to as a “ghost bike.” Drawn by our graphic designer Erica Durtschi, it was the image that came to mind most readily when we were discussing our coverage of the Safe Streets Summit happening this coming week. Too many cyclists and pedestrians are hit […]
