After the two hour wait, I was helped by a very kind gentleman, whose name I unfortunately forgot. It may have been included in the information which could only be gained by asking him to dinner first? That information may have only included his home town and favorite color, but I was too entranced to recall. #stunner All and all it only costs $340ish dollars to move to Oregon and become the proud driver of an economy sedan you already own. On the plus: license good for 8yrs and Reg for 2. This branch is in all honesty a pleasure. Coming from NV, OR DMV is a breeze!

So you show up and are told, "YOU MUST HAVE AN APPOINTMENT"!!!!! If you don't they'll give you a number and you're on a wait list.

The next available scheduled appointment is 5 days later. This is a terrible system and the website is not accurate. DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, SCHEDULED ON LINE!!!!!

That said, the people working there are grinding all day long. Steady, professional, and dealing with a constant stream of folks who all need something yesterday. It's not light work, and they carry it well. The wait is the only reason for four stars instead of five. The crew behind the counter? They're doing their part. Tip your hat to them -- they're working hard for this town.

On July 3 2016 while visiting Ashland we stopped at the Ashland Albertsons. It was sunny and 90…read moredegrees. We noticed a dog locked in a Subaru wagon parked next to us with all of the windows up and the doors locked. The dog was panting profusely and appeared to have been in the car for more than a few minutes. Other customers noticed me walking around the Subaru and asked if I needed help. I showed them the dog in the car and many wanted to break the window to free the dog. I called Ashland Police non emergency and the Dispatcher was Very Helpful and genuinely concerned. She told me help would be out right away. With in a few minutes a Sergeant with Ashland Police arrived. About this time, the owner of the dog came to her car. She claimed she was "only in the store for 10 minutes." The dog was ok and the owner was given a stern talking to about the dangers of leaving the dog in the car. To the Sergeant and Dispatcher who helped us, Thank You for your service. You made a difference.

A cultural hot spot in Oregon…read more We stopped by the City of Ashland mainly because we saw a roadside attraction we Googled and supposedly it's a public fountain that spouts "health water" from a nearby spring. After walking around Lithia Park we actually found it on Main Street near an information booth. There are 8 spouts with signs all around reading "Out of Order." LoL oh well... I guess, the Lithia water fountain is more of an oddity than for the water's supposed health benefits. In our search for that Natural Lithia Water Fountain we also happened to find Mix Bakeshop. I purchased a few pastries which we enjoyed on our drive back to California. We also stumbled upon a historic park in the heart of downtown Ashland -- Lithia Park. We only saw a little bit of the 93-acre park but it had ponds, fountains, gardens (including a Japanese Garden) and hiking trails. Its huge! Ashland OR was on our way home to California when we took Interstate 5. It is about 18 miles from the California/Oregon border. Last but not least... Ashland is home to the world-famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Happy travels! Review #3267

SITREP ...but much smaller and more boutique, because we are talking about Ashland of course - this is the gig when with friends doing our road warrior I-5 roadtrippin on our way up to & back from Portland and Seattle on travel-junkets. THE SETUP It's nice to take a few hours and pop into Ashland, OR and hit some off the very cool stops in the downtown area: DINING & DRINK The delicious eateries, bakeries and restaurants they have all along the main drag (literally "Main St."), and along the side streets from Main St., including: * The Mix Sweet Shop - excellent bakery & pastries * The Greanleaf Restaurant, replete with fantastic vegan options * Lost Brasserie & Bar - elegant evening dining with stellar soups & seafood dishes LITHIA PARK A beautiful lush park full of green lawns, duck ponds, and hiking areas. SHAKESPEARIAN FESTIVAL Of course, Ashland is internationally renown for it's extensive collection of theaters and theater-companies both resident & visiting theater groups, promoting the dramas, comedies & dramedies of my favorite English Bard..........Monty Python! No no, I KID, I KID. But always fun to see the theater runs and enjoy not only Shakespeare, but many other play by talented writers in this community. THE LOWDOWN A great community with a lot of artistic flare, style and cuisines.
