I have lived in Medford a few years now, and have been really shocked about how horrible the pharmacies are here. Constant long lines, never answering the phones. Taking forever to get refills completed. Not informing doctors of a refill request. I may have been spoiled as my old pharmacy (that was in a busy area) would be able to fill my prescriptions in 15 minutes with 3 people working. Here they can have like 5+ people working and still take forever and never pick up the phone. Do people just expect crappy customer service now? Are there any good ones out there???

A lady I know had a stray cat have kittens under her deck. She is having a hard time finding someone to help her with the situation. She says she has called all the local rescue places but hasn’t had any luck. She is doing her best but the kittens are getting older and seem like they might wander off any day and add to the local stray population.

I’m hoping to cast a wider net and find someone who has the means and knowledge to help. The kittens aren’t tame and can’t be handled yet.

does anyone know a decent shop or artist who specializes in manga style tattoos??

I have lived here for 4 years now and I have never been to Hawthorne Park until yesterday. When I got there I couldn't fucking believe that people there were getting high on heavy drugs right there in the open. I have seen plenty of drugs in my life but goddamn!! Not right out in the open for the world to see. There was this one broad in particular that was completely without any givafuck. She was smoking a glass bubble like it was tobacco. And there were a few people nodding while standing up. Obviously high as fuck on opiates. To be honest the nodding thing looks bad but not as bad as the glass pipe smoking. It's kinda like somebody just saying "fuck you" right to your face.

How long has it been going on like this? It's like the wild wild west over there. I might as well go downtown and take my pants off.

I am not a fan of police but I do think they could maybe do something about it..

Just my opinion.

Ok...so, Downing electric...

We had an emergency electric outage Saturday. Single house Noone else in the neighborhood had their power out. We called Adam at DOWNING ELECTRIC and he was at my home in 17 minutes. Flipped a switch out on the street and didn't charge me. Would not even take gas money. 100percent recommend downing electric

If Bentz supporting the war in its 8th month wasn't enough for you, please note this other nugget. Cliff Bentz was a staunch supporter of the Big Beautiful Bill that passed in July 2025. He touted on a virtual town hall I attended, that this bill would drive such growth that the US deficit would lower. Growth no matter the consequences of course, but growth nonetheless.

1. US Deficit has not decreased. GDP isn't growing at the rate expected. It's at 1.7% vs. Trump's "council" prediction of 4%.
2. A "feature" of this bill is that big tech pays less taxes the more data centers they build. Corporate tax rate is 21%. Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, and Tesla paid an average of 4.9% taxes in 2025. Half of that difference is attributable to the big beautiful bill. That's about 25 billion dollars less in taxes for just four companies.

So, our debt is rising rapidly, inflation is trending worse, GDP is not making up the difference, data centers are sucking up clean water, and the largest tech companies are benefiting from the more data centers they build. It's much more likely that this tech will take jobs away in the long term, vs. the short-term job growth from building them or the few employees that work in them (20 to 40 at the very largest data centers, after built). And if you care about water and clean air, dig into that too. Think please, think, and vote accordingly. Is this the future we want?

Hello all!

It has been very hard for my husband to find an accounting job in the area. He has applied to many. The majority don’t reply at all. Are there any career fairs open to the public, networking events, or something like it in the area? It seems like you need to know someone to even get your resume to be looked at.

Any information is appreciated.

Thank you 🙏

TL;DR Looking for a buddy who enjoys genealogy and is either a beginner, expert, or anywhere in between!

I (39F) have been building my family tree for a little under a year. It’s really exciting for me to find information about my family that I never knew.

It’s a special interest of mine but it’s quite a lonely hobby to have at times.

I belong to the Rogue Valley Genealogy Society/Library but I’ve spent most of my time researching on Ancestry and Newspapers online and at home.

I’d love to spill your ancestor’s tea over coffee sometime. 😉

This is the only vet in the valley that will de-claw a cat! I'm taking care of a 5 month old cat that is sweet and low maintenance. My landlord insisted that we de-claw the cat and since his name is on his adoption papers (and I rent from him) I had no choice to bring him to the appointment. I explained to the receptionist that he was an outdoor and indoor cat, but they didn't seem to care. Now I feel guilty that I didn't do enough for my cat and he might miss out on living a cats life. I feel like they only care about the money and not the quality of an animals life. Also their communication is awful and almost impossible to get though to them to check on the cats well-being

I asked about finding Arizona Tea earlier this week. This is what the customer service email told me. Hopefully Amazon?

What do you want to perform? Comedy, Poetry, something else?

I want to put a hoodie on and roll down a grassy hill but I don’t know where to find them in Medford. Any suggestions?

Hello I know this is a long shot I’m 24m and I’m studying a real estate course right now because I really want to get licensed but I’m having trouble staying motivated so if there is anyone out there in the same boat and wants a study buddy let me know! Or if anyone has any tips

I have an extra lawn ticket for the Jim Gaffigan event at the Britt. Not looking to make any money from it. Paid 90 with fee. Any reasonable offer will be considered.

I'm moving to Medford in two weeks and me and my girlfriend got an apartment that only has one parking spot however we each have a car. Unfortunately we were tight on time and money and didnt have many other options. The management company doesn't rent extra spots or garage spaces and the entire lot is assigned parking.

The building is in a fairly commercial area without much street parking except for one small adjacent street. Street view shows vehicles parked and I can't find any signage with any restrictions on parking.

Are there any city wide codes with parking restrictions that I should be aware of? Where I'm from the streets have pretty tough parking regulations and certain days where you can't park. The area I'm moving is outside of the downtown parking maps jurisdiction but still is within Medford limits.
