[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go, Ducks!

It rains here and is gray for a long stretch from fall through early spring. Not much snow. Last winter wasn’t so bad but the magic of summertime is not matched weather-wise by the rest of the year! [/quote]

Fellow Duck here ('97) and living in Old Town since 2005. The rain doesn't even start until November and is mostly gone by May. Dec- Feb produced a lot of snow the years I was there and Eugene is magical in a blanket of white. I get it isn't for everyone but the whole "PNW will make you eat a bullet" is total BS.

I'd kill someone for a Tempeh sandwich with carrot relish from New Day Bakery right now.[/quote]

I lived in Eugene for the 1990s (all of it) and never once tried the hummus or Tempeh or anything hippie. Never went to the Oregon Country Fair, but got invited. I don't regret it. I don't like hummus. Had more than one person there ask me if I was a Republican because I took regular showers, styled my hair, and didn't slather on patchouli, lol. I was a student, and then a townie while my spouse finished grad school. The last time I visited Eugene, it felt so different. More high-end branding, more gentrification. Still miss that hole-in-the-wall Burrito Boy taqueria. They had great chicken tacos.[/quote]
