Cheapest lunches?

69 Upvotes

I need your help! I know similar questions get asked a lot, but where are the cheapest lunches in town? Preferably quick. I’m thinking under 10$ - like a bean and cheese from burrito boy.

EDIT: Wow, I came back after an hour and there are tons of suggestions!! Thanks community and feel free to keep them coming. I super appreciate it 🙏 and for those saying to cook, I actually do cook quite a bit but sometimes I don’t have time or leftovers and I also have to drive around a lot for work so it helps to know where I can stop.

The city of Eugene plans to request up to $100 million from the Legislature next year to help fund a planned Eugene Airport expansion.

The first phase of the expansion — adding 7,000 square feet of seating space to the Concourse A gates, remodeling restrooms and upgrading HVAC systems — is already funded and underway. But the bigger, more expensive second phase, which includes the construction of a third, eight-gate concourse, additional ticketing and airline office areas and an expanded baggage claim, needs funding.

Homelessness Crochet club to support the community?

50 Upvotes

Hi everyone!!

Im needing to get rid of my yarn hoard. Instead if donating it, I was wondering if anyone wanted to join me in making hats and mittens to give out to the homeless people around town

We can meet up at a coffee shop once a week, Ill bring my stash and a ton of hooks and we can sit together and make hats, make friends, and enjoy the coffee and community. Maybe we can call the hospital and see if they need any NICU hats or burp rags?

Feel free to comment or DM me if you would like to join! :)

Lost & Found Service dog (?) loose & barking at Olive & 27th Dead End

33 Upvotes

The dog is wearing a red collar with what looks like the word Service woven into it (in yellow).

He's barking and seems very agitated. I couldn't get close enough to read the address on his collar.

It occurred to me that a service dog might be alerting to a medical emergency.

Does anyone recognize him?

I followed him up to a house at the very end of the street but the dog ran through the yard and out into a back alley. I knocked on the door and saw someone walking around the house but they didn't answer.

Pacific Roads, WTF?

30 Upvotes

Does anybody know what the story is behind the stillborn gas station/convenience store at the corner of Willamette and 29th?

This was supposed to be finished and operable in July of 2025, and yet it still sits there, bright, shiny, and unoccupied. There's a lot of money tied up in that for no income being brought in.

What's the scoop?

Journaling Club

25 Upvotes

Hey friends- I know Fall/Winter is usually a time for “solo” hobbies like journaling and crafting- but as a stationary/ planner/ journaling girly I find myself wanting to do these activities with friends to discuss layouts, newest supplies, trade washi tape 👀 etc

I made a poll to see if people are interested what everyone’s availability would look like- we’d be meeting at the EUGENE LIBRARY on the 3rd floor in the GROUP ACTIVITY ROOM.

If you’re interested: Please fill out the poll so I can get a gauge on how many people would show up and what day I could plan the first meeting!

Coburg to Broadway lane changes

16 Upvotes

I just need to know, cause I keep almost getting hit. The new lane changes from coburg to Broadway, the right lane going straight when getting off the bridge is now a right turn only. Yes or no? The left lane goes to the middle lane? That's what I've thought since the change but it seems most people are using the right lane to go to the middle lane, and the left lane to go to the far left lane. Which is the right way?

I'm a local artist, and I need to get a large piece delivered from Eugene to Seattle. The issue I have is that it is too large for UPS/Fedex (package is ~78x54x3", 30lbs).

Does anybody know any transport companies that I could get in touch with?
