Great job Bend. If you weren’t there, it was like this on all four corners of Greenwood and Wall today. Kudos!

BEND, Ore. -- Well over 1,000 protesters -- possibly as many as 2,000 -- lined the streets of downtown Bend Saturday in one of more than 1,200 organized protests nationwide against the policies of President Donald Trump and White House adviser Elon Musk. It was the largest of a half-dozen protests in Central Oregon reaching all three counties.

An estimated 800 rallied in Sisters Saturday morning, coinciding with a town hall event with Democratic U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum. Another 400 to 500 waved signs in Redmond, countered by a handful of Trump supporters in pickups and SUVs. More than 100 rallied in downtown Prineville. Protests also happened in La Pine and Madras.

"I'm out here as an American, not one party or the other but as an American. And I don't think a lot of people realize that we're doing this for everybody, everybody in this country. And everyone's is going to be feeling the hurt at some point in time," Vashti Eppler said in Prineville.

there is an older gentleman who rides his adult tricycle up and down 27th street…he’s always decked out in a hi-vis vest and tall flag in the back.

coming home from work yesterday there had been an accident just north of the high school on 27th…and i saw an adult tricycle, with a flag, on the side of the road and a car with the windshield smashed in.

i’m going to be soooo sad if it’s the amazing elderly tricycle dude…(well, i guess it’s sad regardless…). anyone know what happened?? or know anything about the tricycle guy?????

Let it be known.

The brisket is incredible. It should be like $20+, not $10. Just a PSA, Bend.

Hi, I am looking for leads on a lawyer specializing in malpractice. I am a Bend resident but the medical event occurred at an Alaskan hospital. Any info is appreciated!

Anybody have any leads on a roadside area rug vendor? I bought a nice one at a great price in Winston around 8 years ago.

But I haven't seen one since.

Hi 👋,

Anyone have recommendations on the best e-bike shop for purchase and service in Bend? I like the Aima bikes but am not sold on any particular brand.

Range, comfort, reliability, and weight- just the normal stuff. Would love to Ride The Rim at Crater Lake this year.

Thanks, Bendites. You’re the best. 🫶
