Are you tired of the same old boring weekend road trips? Do you have a fascination with giant wood…read moreapes? Come to the North American Bigfoot Center, where cryptids are anything but boring...even though it's in Boring. This is probably the best place for unbelievers and pop culture vultures to be convinced of Bigfoot's existence while gaining Yeti-sized slack (subgenius-approved). This has everything you would expect: scale-sized bigfoots, footprint molds, handprints, and even a world-famous bigfoot buttocks cast. See and smell the splendor of the squatch (spoiler: he stinks). The life-sized squatch is Instagram crack, so all your friends can participate in the mystery. Enjoy the interactive evidence, and dive into the historical artifacts, tribal maps, videos, and photos. Also, stop by the sensational squatch shop for t-shirts and other ephemera for your Bigfoot-believing needs.

Beverages, windsocks, artwork, mini statues, snow globes, magnets, lamps and I can't list it all but wow it's very well organized and stocked. There was a few areas with books and even a clearance center. I had so much fun just a forty minute drive or so from home but hey I love this subject matter so if you're curious about Bigfoot/Sasquatch you gotta check this out. There's historical things all over and modern research also. The staff was super helpful the prices were competitive. I got a long sleeve tshirt on sale for $15. Regular tshirts were $25 I believe. They are cotton and well made.

She wrote the wrong information without checking facts about Taliban coming into power in Afghanistan in "1984". I told her Taliban didn't exist then. They came more than a decade later. She looked at me in a very irate manner "Well I just wrote what she said (the woman who gave her info about Afghanistan). I told her well it's wrong, explaining about when Taliban came into power. The museum lady said "I'll research it" and walked away talking to others. I've never been felt unwelcomed and felt horrible vibes from somebody who supposedly cares about the museum or cares about facts. I'm Afghan, and I told her I was. She didn't care. She wasn't rude. She was just very stand offish and annoyed that I was even talking to her.

Imagine the joy of finding that one-of-a-kind art deco lamp that goes with your place so perfectly…read moreyou couldn't have designed something so perfect: I'm going for a blue peacock art deco theme. Just think how hard. It is to get the stars to align for this. A gorgeous art deco, petite, ceramic, art deco lamp. The seller had great reviews, , I paid $396.00 for it to ship from the Netherlands. No big deal I thought, my dad can easily rewire it and put a nice long cord on it. I was practically giggly when it arrived but but that quickly changed. It arrived broken and missing its head. My giggles quickly turned to tears. I messaged the seller. She felt terrible, my poor little lamp probably got manhandled in customs and lost the head. The seller felt terrible, she actually refunded all my money including shipping. That was a lovely gesture. I was determined to get the head restored. As I do with all projects I need done I ask Yelp. As always, Yelp did not let me down. As I recall, Jason at The Conservation Lab didn't reply to my quote request, I tracked him down. One art restorer quoted me $1000.00. Jason quoted me $275.00. I said yes immediately. I had actually poked around on his website and was really impressed with the quality of his work. Quite frankly I was shocked that an artist of his caliber was only charging me $275.00 for such a difficult job as recreating a ceramic head for my peacock lamp. But I'm grateful that someone like him is making art restoration accessible to people like me. I gifted him with a charcoal drawing I did. It took him about a month. This job was no small task. He sent me photos of the finished product. I was thrilled. It looked gorgeous. My dad picked it up to rewire it from EU wiring is USA wiring. My lamp came home yesterday, I put it in its place of honor and I plugged in. I just sat back and smiled. 2024 - Review #4

She was kind enough to take photos of us throughout our relaxing day, and she was incredibly knowledgeable about the Willamette Valley region and wines. The van that she transported us in was very spacious for our group. She provided us with water bottles, a special sweet treat and allowed us to charge our phones.
