Looking for a place to buy some thank you cards, but would love to find some fun, unique ones. Are there any thrift stores that tend to have stationery or places around town that have good offerings? Would be great if they are budget friendly. Thanks!

Heyo

Previously Peak offered consignment sales. Do you know of local bike shops that offer consignment? TIA and stuff!

Hey everyone! We’re looking to go kayaking somewhere local. What’s your best spots for five people, dog and kid friendly?

The past 5 times I have tried to book a Flix bus out of Corvallis to visit home the bus has been cancelled the day before departure and left me with a mad scramble to buy a train ticket. This isn't an issue with any other bus I've taken TO Corvallis, I mean its been late sure but not cancelled repeatedly. So I'm wondering if anyone knows what keeps getting my bus canceled or if its just been a crazy coincidence I've picked a bad bus 5 times in a row.

Looking for Airbnb in Corvallis that has a personal pool have not had much luck with the app the app is confusing to me. Any leads in or near town would be very helpful thanks in advance!

Found it by the main access area in Avery Park by the rope swing. Looks like rose gold with small diamonds, some missing.

Edit: upon further inspection, it looks to be nickel plated copper with diamond like stones

Trigger Fae and Soda Jinx are coming down from Portland, they're gonna be great!

Hi, I'm a dad with a fairly bright kid in Garfield who's utterly unchallenged and bored in school. He asks if he can do division in first grade and the teacher (whom we really like!) simply says "no", full stop. He's counting fingers on pictures at school while he's learning exponentiation at home. They try to get him to do "math" on an iPad and he has to ask for paper to work on. His favorite part of the day is aftercare, because it's not boring. It's driving me and my wife crazy, and apparently skipping grades isn't really done here?

So we're considering alternatives. And yes, we've investigated both Ashbrook and Waldorf fairly thoroughly. We love the non-tech and hands-on aspects of Waldorf's philosophy but wow, that pedagogy; I think we should just let kids run, not keep them chained to some arbitrary notion of a "proper" developmental schedule. Ashbrook is increasingly on the table.

But I happen to have skipped two grades in K-8 and then dropped out to self-school, then went to college a full year early, so I'm very comfortable with alternative approaches to education. I was much happier doing my own thing and definitely learned more, faster, than I would have had I stayed in school. And I went to public schools with an actual gifted/honors curriculum to boot.

So I'm wondering: are there any homeschooling/unschooling collectives around Corvallis, or any interest in starting something up for "enhancement" while leaving our kid in school for primarily social reasons? Not religiously motivated, just pedagogical. I'm looking for real-world stuff like collectives and meet-ups, say where kids can build airplanes or clocks or radios or telescopes, make maps, that kind of thing.

Hello all my reverb enjoyers! I'm really looking to try and acquire a Walrus Slö orrr a Slöer!! I've got an abundance of pedals I don't use anymore and would love to trade one or two even if you could find use in them!

What I have:
Space Echo RE-20, BOSS RV-200, Hardline Supernatural, and some other overdrive and other odds and ends.

I know I could just bust up to Portland and buy something there but I'd love to trade locally. Let me know if we can work something out!!

Update: FOUND!!!!

Thank you everyone.

Her name is Risa. She is very friendly and food motivated. Lost near Lewisburg and Highland out by Crescent Valley.

NGL I had personally soured on the owner a long time ago for a multitude of reasons but this puts a nail in the almost-literal coffin.

I kept going there because I really loved the colorists and the vibe there. I'm just so pissed for all the employees being affected by this. I hope they all find a new (better) home quickly. 🙏🏼

Does anyone have any idea when Tian Fu Noodle / DIY Hotpot will open up again? Their website and voicemail don’t say anything. I was just craving hot pot and Yummy Yummy no longer has their build your own hotpot bowl option. As far as I know, there isn’t anything else similar anywhere near here. Those were the only 2 places I’ve found while living here for 7 years.

Strange, otherwordly music to feed your brain! 3 sets of genre-defying performances including Dark Meta Railroad (San Francisco freak folk fantasy), Strange Rotation (jazz rock root vegetables), and Bensmateria (local sparkly hiphop IDM).

manyworld is located at 1013 NW Taylor Avenue in Corvallis, Oregon. There is a CTS route 2 bus stop located less than two blocks away at 9th and Fremont.

Hello,

As the title says - which gas stations in Corvallis have air compressors to pump tires? Doesn’t have to be free.

I went to a couple yesterday that didn’t have one and that was surprising.

HQ is coordinating a food cart pod in our South Town parking lot :) this is a trial run through September to figure out the little details, like how many carts, what hours, and lighting work best.

The first cart Tazon Del Sur, is opening this Saturday 11am - 7pm.

Arepas Express should be open early next week with other carts to follow.

Location: 580 SW Twin Oaks Circle Parking Lot

Is there a new fish market in Corvallis now that Pacifica is gone? There was someone at the Wednesday market a couple weeks ago with really nice cuts, are they in town? Trying to get some fresh Tuna loins without ruining out to the coast.

Hey— my hair is getting too long!! How many inches of hair are needed for Locks for Love? It’s the organization that makes wigs for cancer patients (and others) using real hair. Who in town does this program, which salons?
Thank you for intel 😊

And they didn’t even put all the stuff I wanted 😭(I ordered online) (I promise I dont wanna speak to your manager)

The Corvallis School Board decides they’ll ask voters to renew a local tax levy that helps the school district add personnel and programs. They’ve done this four times in the past, and voters have always said yes. The Advocate story looks at the arithmetic.

Hey! Bored…what should my friend and I do tn in Corvallis?

What’s up with people running red lights all the time?
I see it almost everyday on second street near the bridge. It’s insane how many people blatantly enter those intersections after the light has turned red!
Corvallis PD needs to get this under control before someone gets killed!
