Stalking the Florida Weisse

On a tour of U.S. beer, the Sunshine State offers its own craft claim to fame

Given their “rich uncle” in Belgium, it’s perhaps no surprise that 10 Barrel’s beer can now be obtained in parts of the U.S. that are quite a distance away from Galveston Avenue. Fans can find brands like Joe and Apocalypse in bars in such far-off and exotic places as Minneapolis, New York, Pittsburgh…and even at […]

Looking for Love?

These days, apps are far a far-from-taboo way to search for your new boo

Passing notes in high school may have helped you score your first kiss or your first true love, but the dating world has become a bit more difficult to navigate in the years since “Beverly Hills 90210” or even “Gilmore Girls” taught us the ins and outs of l-u-v. If you’re looking to find love […]

What you should know about changing Bend’s City Charter

Ever wonder why we’re the largest Oregon city without an elected mayor, or speculated on why there are only two council members representing the east side compared to the five from the west side?

The Accidental Owls

Goldeen Ogawa can literally do it all

Visually too. If you need specifics, call her a fantasy writer/illustrator/painter/ cartoonist. Not bad for someone who left kindergarten after six months and didn’t fully learn to read until age 12. Instead, her parents opted to teach Ogawa and her little brother at home. “I’m off the deep end of non-traditional [education],” she says. “I […]

Love Don’t Cost A Thing

Ariana makes for a very romantic evening

Last week we took a brief look at ways to celebrate the day without breaking the bank. That’s one way to go about things. While expressing love isn’t necessarily about celebrating materialism or who can buy the biggest and brightest thing, sometimes it’s also nice to mark the day as special by getting a little […]
