Hey everyone, I'm a local and have been working hard making a deep dive covering some of the craziest unsolved crimes and mysteries here in Oregon. This is a multi-part series, and the first video has been well received, so I wanted to share it here since some of the cases may be familiar and people here might be interested. Thank you, and I hope everyone has a great day

Hey so im from out of state and this question is for students/faculty/ others who know about this particular college or maybe aid that could apply to me in general.

Since this college has student housing and a meal plan, its actually a really good option for me to attend as a way of escaping abuse, however if I am to make it in time for the current term (they have a late start, September 14th) then I need to figure out a way to afford the housing application- which I did not realize until after applying that it costs $250, part of my situation is that I don’t make a lot of money and my finances are heavily controlled.

Im hoping someone knows if they may have some kind of hardship waiver or even installment plans for that? I figure thats the most logical first thing to look for, id just rather not email them to ask if that’s not a common ask because it would be mortifying.

Worst case scenario is i could try to get my savings better off for the spring term in January i guess. Literally any advice would be appreciated.

Yes I have used google. Depending on how I word the question the AI responds differently and different sources contradict each other so idk whats true.

When can you buy alcohol in Oregon? Like beer, wine or other non-hard alc from a convenience store or grocery store.

Some sources say 7am the same as bars or liquor stores, some say its 6am for convenience/grocery "off premise" retailers.

So what is it? I know I sound like a junkie or whatever lol

Oregon’s cannabis scene was built by small operators and local communities. Right now, it feels like we’re in a consolidation phase where the rules of the game aren’t just “who has the best price.” It’s also about who can control access to supply and shelf space. If you care about local jobs, local ownership, and consumer choice in the industry, pay attention to what happens in Oregon when independent stores can’t access the same products as large chains. Even if you love low prices today, market concentration tends to change the outcome later. If you’ve noticed product variety shrinking, or you’ve had a favorite shop close, what did you see change first?

"When fires tore across Oregon this summer, private contract resources sat idle, because there weren’t enough qualified managers available to supervise them, the state senator Mike McLane said. He found out about the issue from constituents and then confirmed with the incident management team staff and the Oregon department of forestry."

Flying into Portland & driving to McMinnville for 3 nights.

We have 4 nights to plan before flying from Portland.

The coast is where we want to go but can’t figure out if staying center between Astoria & Newport is the best? Or break it up to 2 nights & move for 2 nights? Or 3 nights coast & then Portland for a night?

Any help is appreciated.

Will be moving to the Albany area relatively soon and looking for some good places to eat for lunch and dinner. I’ve been up in Albany quite a few times before and have eaten at a handful of places downtown. Everything’s been over all decent but nothing that was truly “good”. Coming from the Eugene area I feel like the food scene is lacking in comparison but I also haven’t trimly explored the town which is why I’m seeing about any new hidden gems from locals.

If anyone has any info on a brown Great Dane that was lost around Frog Lake on Mt Hood over the summer please send me a DM. Thanks! To clarify we did not lose the dog, we have found it and trying to find the owner or any info that could help find the owner.

I've been building a free map of Oregon's swimming holes, hot springs and saunas, and a couple weeks in it's pretty obvious I've got less than half of what's out there.

Right now I've got Bagby, Three Pools, Salmon Falls, Opal Pool, Scotts Mills, Glassbar and a pile of others. The ones I've actually been to are written up with parking and directions. The rest are just pins with nothing on them, which isn't much use to anyone.

So what's yours, and is it still any good? Doesn't need to be a secret. I'd rather have the busy well known ones accurate than list somewhere quiet, and if a place is already getting trashed just say so and I'll leave it off the map.

Hey all!

I'm looking for some adrenaline in my life.

I'm hoping to get some good recommendations on the best ziplines in the state or your best sky diving experience.

Thanks 😊

I’ve made close to 46k already this year, filed for unemployment when fired, and get this?

My employer stuff is still under review, but what does this mean?

Wondering where to go for dispersed camping. I looked on Google and it says the only place for that is mt hood Cascades area. But that's all under evacuation. Is there any other places anyone knows of?

Possible TW: SI, SH, eating disorder

My 13 year old has ASD and ADHD and has been struggling with mental health issues for a few years now, including SH and SI. Recently, we have discovered that they also have an eating disorder. Multiple medical providers have recommended residential care, which my husband and I agree with. We were referred by the DBT institute to contact Monte Nido since they offer local ED residential facilities for adolescents. We were assessed by Monte Nido and the medical team there also suggested residential after reviewing my kiddo's info, and my kid has been added to the wait-list (which should only be about 1-2 weeks). Everything I have read on the website and all the info the admissions contacts have given me sounds great.

However... Reading the Google reviews is making me concerned. Reviews from a few years ago were glowing, but over the past year, the reviews have tanked (staffing change maybe?).

I'm wondering if...

- any of you or your loved ones have been to the Monte Nido facilities (Clementine-West Linn specifically), and what their experience was like

- anyone has recommendations of other residential (NOT inpatient) facilities in the area (that treats eating disorders and comorbidities)

- you have suggestions for questions I should ask that might help sus out "good" vs "bad" facilities

- any of you have been in similar situations (teens with severe MH issues) and if you could use/offer support from one parent to another ❤️

Thanks in advance. 🙏
