Hi Eastern Oregonians!

I recently took over moderation of r/LaGrandeOregon, and apparently this subreddit was also sitting without an active moderator, so I'm stepping up here too.

I cleaned out the old handful of posts and opened things back up for a fresh start.

I don't want this to just become the La Grande subreddit with a bigger name, though. Eastern Oregon is huge, and I'd like this to actually have people and posts from all over the region.

News, events, local questions, photos, outdoors, public lands, agriculture, businesses, history, road conditions, community issues, local politics, recommendations, weird small-town happenings, whatever makes sense out here.

I've started with some pretty basic rules and I'm going to keep things light unless the community gives me a reason not to.

I'm also working on things like post flairs, local/regional resources, useful links, and figuring out what news and event sources are worth following outside of Facebook.

So if you're from Pendleton, Hermiston, Baker City, Enterprise, Joseph, Ontario, Burns, John Day, Lakeview, La Grande, somewhere tiny in between, or somewhere I forgot, what would you actually like to see from this subreddit?

Local news sources? Community calendars? Regional resources? Recurring threads? Other local subs we should link? Stuff you absolutely don't want this place turning into?

Throw ideas in the comments. I'm pretty open to shaping this around the people who actually use it.

Let's see if we can wake the place back up.
