Lane County Dump as I like to call it is a great service. In the 5 years we've been here in Eugene…read morewe've accumulated some stuff that we simply don't need anymore. Last week I took 3 different truck loads here. I had never been here before, and when looking for help with questions, there were plenty of employee's around that were able to answer my questions. They have a lot of different areas to drop off anything from anti-freeze, to cardboard, books, batteries, bottles, reusable lumber, metal, plastics, plant pots and treys and that's just the recycling section. Once you separate everything out, the rest can head to the dump for 15.00 a sq. ft. Kinda spendy at the end of the day, but if you take the time to separate the papers and books and items as such, you can reduce your dump fee. Loads of wood may also be brought here for dumping. They charge 13.50 a load. Make sure you make it worth your time to do a dump run though, even though all I had to dump was an older AC unit today, I still had to pay 15.00 for it since it's considered an appliance. Looking back, I should've just took it to good will. I could've gave 4 stars if the fee's weren't so high, but the customer service is what kept it from being 2 stars.

I never have been Bite of Eugene before, I didn't even know it existed till we rode by on our bikes…read moreand since the admission was free- we decided to stop and see what it was all about. They had Valet Bicycle Parking! Yea- I said it! VALET BICYCLE PARKING!!! So cool! Every where should have this! The music was okay- some jazzy smooth band, not my favorite but it was still ok. There were kids running around everywhere. It was really fun to see them playing at the bottle rocket booth. There were about 5 or 6 wine vineyards booth there. Tasters where $1-3 and glasses where $5-8. There were 4 different cupcake stands! I thought this to be a wonderful pairing; wine and cupcakes! It made me happy! There were a few food booths and 2 or 3 Insurance booths. It was nothing to exciting for crazy, but it was a nice/fun surprise on our bike ride today.

Third year for me at the Bite of Eugene, and I have to say it was OK but not fabu. My compatriots…read moreand I headed down for dinner on Saturday night and felt like the whole shindig was a ghost down. The music was shutting down as we arrived (7:00), Party! was out of food, Ring of Fire was giving away mangoes (no one wanted their sticky rice), and there were several empty booths. Another bummer: no wine or beer tasting, just direct pours--with several beers already tapped out. We did find some food gems, though. The stand-outs? Delicata (dungeness crab hush puppies = brilliant) and Soubise! Soubise was making what they termed their "staff meal" and it was So Good. Pork carnitas with all the fixins, and mexi-corn with lots of lime. The bites we had here were so fantastic that they made me want Chef Gil to tire of this French nonsense and go full-on south of the border (remember those Party! Cart take-overs last summer?). But I digress. After finding our faves, we tried to sit down and watch the finale of the Iron Chef competition. Unfortunately, the announcers (save the faux-auctioneer) were so quiet (not holding the mic appropriately--either for themselves or for the interviewees), insipid, and self-centered, we just had to leave. After three years of trying to watch this competition it's become clear that there is really no producer involved, and one is needed desperately. Desserts were located on the other side of the venue, ostensibly due to its shadier nature. Vanilla Jill's disappointed ($4.25 for an icy, runny, small cup of chocolate fro yo), Lochmead thrilled ($2.00 for an ice cream!). The demonstration booths were fun, and something I'd like to see more of. All in all, I think this festival still has a lot to learn. And the lackadaisical nature of the promoters makes me wonder if that will ever happen.

What a great study spot in the heart of campus. Grab a coffee or a snack and find yourself a spot…read morethat fits you. Want to socialize and run into your friends? Try hanging out in the fish bowl near the Starbucks, chipotle, and Panda Express. Want a quieter place to work? I like the cozy couches in the multicultural center or the window seats in the gallery on the third floor. The emu is also a great place to figure out what's going on on campus and in the community. There are lots of clubs, jobs, and housing fairs that go on so keep and eye out for flyers and tables for all of the details. It's also easy to pick up a copy of ethos or the daily emerald to get those community news updates! The emu is also the spot for all of your ID card, atm, printing, crafting, and computer lab needs. And that's just to mention a few! I like the ceramics studio in the craft center. It's free for students and you can buy all of the clay you need right there! Just make sure to sign up for a quick 30 minute - 1 hour orientation. (Pro tip: there's free printing in the womens center!) You can also find the gender neutral bathrooms on the bottom floor near the east side of the building.

The front desk interaction, however, was shockingly unhelpful and honestly pretty condescending. The woman working there was unnecessarily rude and dismissive from the moment my mom tried to ask a simple question. Instead of offering any actual guidance, she acted irritated, gave us attitude for no reason, and basically told us we could be there for hours and to just "use a phone" because they weren't going to assist us at all, after we had already been waiting about an hour. It was a pretty basic request for information, not a difficult situation, which makes the attitude even more baffling. Thankfully, the officer who came out afterward completely changed the tone and was helpful and professional. But if the front desk is supposed to be the first impression of the municipal court, it's not a great one. A little basic courtesy would go a long way. Right now, it feels like you're an inconvenience just for walking in and needing help.

Near Pioneer Street and Highway 58, Lowell, OR 97452…read more43.90957° N, 122.77952° W Lowell Covered Bridge is a nice spot to get out of the vehicle, stretch your legs, and literally take a short walk through some Oregon history. The original bridge at this location dates back to 1907, while the present covered bridge was built in 1945. At approximately 165 feet long and 24 feet wide, it is considered the widest covered bridge in Oregon. The bridge is no longer open to vehicle traffic and now serves as an interpretive center. A paved walkway with railings leads toward and through the bridge, with displays providing some of the history of covered bridges and the surrounding area. There are also several places along the walkway to stop and enjoy the view. The parking area is large enough that vehicles pulling trailers can maneuver through while still leaving room for regular passenger vehicles. That was something we appreciated while exploring the different recreation areas around Dexter Reservoir. The view across the reservoir is probably as much a reason to stop as the bridge itself. On our visit, we had the added experience of watching a floatplane fly over us and then come down onto the reservoir. Definitely not something we expected to see when we pulled in, but it added a memorable moment to the visit. This does not have to be a long stop. Even if you only have 15 or 20 minutes, it is worth getting out, walking through the bridge, reading some of the displays, and taking a few moments to enjoy the view across the water. See photos.

The views of Dexter Lake right next to it are gorgeous, and honestly, it's one of the best spots around to watch the sunset. It's also a great place to go fishing if you've got the time. Overall, it's a quick visit, but a really neat piece of history and a great photo spot.

I was especially surprised to see the number of books related to Horror Cinema (a passion of mine). The library also has Group Study Rooms which are essential for keeping focused when the library is busy and louder than usual. The only thing that irks me about the library is it's children policy (it only irks me when the Group Study Rooms are full). Although I understand some students have kids/toddlers, they shouldn't be allowed in the library if they're not going to be quiet. * if you're THAT parent and you see the majority of the 60+ people turning their heads, please get a clue and excuse yourself from the building.
