Are any public places having a watch party for the Team USA game tomorrow? It would be fun to watch with a local crowd.

I need to get from Hood River to the Portland Airport.
CAT is not available for the time I need to travel.
What are other options?
Thanks!

Hi there. I live in a small town in AZ, same town I was born and raised in. Our school systems continue to get worse and worse and have now moved to 4 days a week due and most of our neighbors have moved and those homes have turned into Airbnbs and I’ve realized sadly I don’t think I want to raise my kids here.

We’ve been visiting Hood River 1-2 times a year for the past eight years and love it. We spent a month in the area after our wedding as well and just realized how much we feel at home in the area. We are avid hikers, love paddling, my husband loves snow sports and we just love being outside and Gifford Pinchot is our favorite national forest.

We plan to have kids in the next 1-3 years and are strongly considering moving to Hood River. Wondering what the community is like for families. Also wondering what it’s like just for young professionals. We don’t like to drink or go out, prefer early mornings to get outside on the trails on the weekend. Would love to raise kids somewhere where we can coach little league and get involved in local nonprofits (we both volunteer with our local trail orgs here in AZ). Just wanting to know how the sense of community is.

We don’t want to move to a city. We know the struggles sometimes of living in a small town (we drive 100 miles to Phoenix for healthcare currently). So we know and understand that. Just trying to find a small town in an environment we love that can also be great for community and raising kids.

Thank you for any insight you can provide!

Hi all! My mom is looking for a new nail salon in town that does acrylic & shellac gel manicures. If you have any good recs please drop below :)

"I work over at Doug’s Hood River. We had a younger kid come in recently who lost his birthday money somewhere in the store. We unfortunately can’t find his phone number, but found the cash this morning. If know who this is, please help us get in contact with them! If you can call the shop and describe the envelope + dollar amount we can get it back to the right kid!

Rolling in from Colorado and curious which places might be good to swing by and watch some footy. Gracias in advance

I inherited a photo album and I’m trying to figure out how this photo of a service station relates to my ancestors. The photo appears on the first page of the album, which makes me think the subject had some significance to the person who created it.

What I do know is the photo was taken in the community of Latourell, Oregon.

However, the station in my photo does not appear to match known photos of the Latourell & Son filling station, which was operated by the Latourell family (no known relation to my family).

I’m not sure where to start researching something like this. Does anyone know how to find records of who owned or operated small rural service stations in Oregon in the early 1900s?
