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.

The Local Flavor Is Fun!…read more SITREP Mom and I blitzed down from Seattle through town to see our Oregonian siblings and cousins and we had fun! THE SETUP There are so many Thai and Mexican restaurants to enjoy (our favorite cuisines right now) that are reasonably priced. Voodoo Donuts is always a fun stop to grab a baker's dozen of some pretty special Choco-Peanut donut masterpieces to take back home with us. And the gas always seems cheaper here than it is back home. THE LOWDOWN Always love my time in Eugene, OR.

On the 8th of August an incident that was very personal to me could have gone very badly for one of…read moreyoung ladies I was with. The ramifications could have been life changing in a negative way. The officers involved John Moos, Martin Siller, and Marcus Pope deserve recognition for the invaluable and professional way they handle the incident. Because one of the young ladies was in a blacked-out rage, due to alcohol, it was hard to see the respectful, kind, loving person she is. Like most of us she has her demons. That night they got the best of her. To the officers: Thank You!! The three of you were very kind and gentle with her. Despite her insulting violent behavior you showed amazing patience. Her behavior was arrest worthy but you chose to take her to Buckley in stead of jail. I feel like your supervisor, co workers, families, and the public should know about the outstanding job that night. It may have seemed like a routine call to you. Hell it may have been the easiest thing you did all night, but to me......it mattered. So once again with heartfelt appreciation... Thank You!!!!!

I'm giving 2 stars solely because the officer who came out to help me was genuinely kind,…read moreprofessional, and the only redeeming part of this experience. 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.

The materials that compose the Wayne Lyman Morse United States Courthouse are humble - poured…read moreconcrete, stainless steel - however its expression isn't in the opulence of materials (as in historic courthouses) but rather how they form spaces and give way to natural light. Like the new San Francisco Federal Building this courthouse, although a seemingly self-indulgent expression of the architect Thom Mayne's design biases, is really a rational response to the function of the building, its environmental conditions (nearby flooding river, light orientations, wind, and climate) and the urban landscape of which it is a part. This particular building has the added responsibility to be symbolic as it is a functional representation of the justice system. Additionally it is situated in an obviously moribund site giving it the opportunity to act as a catalyst for future development in the area. It is interesting to note that one half of one percent of federal building cost is allocated for art in the building to be created by living American artists. This art is most often commissioned for the building and the artist works closely with the architect to integrate the art with the architecture. I was particularly impressed with the art in the Wayne Lyman Morse United States Courthouse which includes: Sean Healy's "Jury Pool", a series of glass polka dots affixed to the glass doors of the jury assembly room; Installation artist Matthew Ritchie's "Stare Decisis", a steel sculpture which sits on the second floor exterior of the building and emulates the nearby Willamette River as well as complementary work "Life, Liberty and Pursuit" composed of huge light boxes that shift as you walk by them; Photographer Kristin Timken's "Witness" a series of pinhole photographs of Oregon's landscape. NOTES: This is a public building which means anyone is free to visit as long as you show a government-issued photo id and pass through a magnotometer (like those at the airport) No cameras allowed inside First LEED Gold US courthouse (a rating based on five areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality) CONCLUSION: The Wayne Lyman Morse United States Courthouse in Eugene, Oregon is yet another fine example of Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Thom Mayne's commitment to design excellence. His thoroughly rational responses to the function of the building and surrounding environmental circumstances have allowed him to create a courthouse that will be admired for generations.

Overall pretty daring architecture for Eugene, everyone seems to have an opinion, love it or hate it. Hopefully this starts the development march to reconnect downtown with the river.
