Bbang opened on Wednesday, February 18, next to Holy Ghost Bar on SE Gladstone Street, specializing in Korean-influenced burgers and sandwiches. Owned by the same folks as Korean barbecue cart Doyaji, the menu includes a kimchi smash burger, a fried shrimp burger, a tofu katsu sandwich, Korean fried chicken, and sides like cheese corn and potato salad with smoked pork belly.
Hatfield sports fluorescent green Nikes himself; a signature fedora hat adorns his head. Hatfield is playing his role, one that began in 1996. His presence is not ornamental -- he shakes hands with donors and talks to recruits, gleefully glad-handing for the university he attended and the football program whose modus operandi has come to be synonymous with Hatfield's creativity and Nike's branding.
OREGON CITY - It'll be a long and arduous journey emblematic of the original 1840s Oregon Trail migration itself. But, in the end, some years from now, restoration of the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive and Visitor Center in Oregon City should produce a beacon of history, education, and pride for the state and citizens of all backgrounds. An updated venue will include a new addition housing original wagons, a beautiful plank house, amphitheater events, and expanded programming.
Last night I had a dream and you were in it, and I was in it with you. I was doing the packing I never did. Not sure how it started, that's how dreams go. But I was nervous that you might show up. Just like you were nervous I'd be there. Eventually you did show up, but your head was buzzed and dyed orange.
In this episode of the On Coaching podcast, hosts Steve Magness and John Marcus dive deep into the insights and lessons from the recent NCAA Championships. They highlight key performances, such as record-breaking steeple chases and tactical 1500 meters races, and discuss the evolving dynamics of modern racing, including the impact of super shoes. Additionally, they emphasize the importance of mental preparation, holistic athlete development, and how coaches can foster environments that encourage risk-taking and peak performances.
Sacco is from Malta. He immigrated here, I think when he was 11 or 12, and created a whole genre of comics journalism: He embeds himself in conflict zones, then writes a graphic novel. Palestine is incredibly powerful and it's obviously still relevant. It was the story of Palestine in the '90s. That's the book to go to if you wanted to start reading Joe Sacco.
WolfBrown found that Eugene had an abundance of art; however, the town needed more support from the business sector. The results showed that "we punched above our weight for a community our size," said Kelly Johnson, executive director of the nonprofit Arts & Business Alliance of Eugene, which the city created in 2008 to link the arts and business communities.
The 15-member commission, which was created by the Oregon Legislature, has already awarded $125,000 in community grants to 38 eligible organizations for projects focusing on how the 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 has shaped the state. The funding, which was approved in two rounds, has flowed to both urban and rural parts of Oregon. Now the commission has announced that a third round of grants totaling $50,000 will be available starting on Wednesday, March 4. The maximum grant is $3,000 and no match is required. Fifty percent of the grants will be dedicated to rural communities.
The DNA of a good dive bar isn't necessarily its menu, but its feel. It should be well-worn, the vinyl on the stools crackling like a dry lake bed on the verge of a rip. The soundtrack is familiar and at a volume that muffles nearby table conversation. The lighting is low, augmented by ambient string lights and flashes from arcade games. Drinks should be cheap. Yukon Tavern in Sellwood is a couple of those things, and more.
With most of us, 90 minutes of reminiscing wouldn't make for scintillating theater. Gert Boyle, as played by Wendy Westerwelle, is the exception to that rule. The late Gert came to fame when she took the reins of Columbia Sportswear after her husband's death in 1970 and also became the "One Tough Mother," with gray hair and glasses, of its comedic '80s and '90s ad campaigns. In one, she put her son, Tim, through a carwash to test the durability of a coat.
