In addition to WatchDuty, which everyone should have for fire season, PulsePoint is another useful app to have on hand.

Bend FD and EMS publicly report incidents so you can tell what’s going on and where. Sirens in a direction? You can find out where and why! Live dispatch also shows up as well, so radio fellas can listen along to calls going out.

And for those who are CPR certified, it’ll give you an alert when someone nearby needs CPR and EMS can’t get there first. It provides instructions as well to save a life even if you aren’t certified.

I find this app to be one of a few useful ones for living in Bend.

Hello everyone!

I have a client who needs her braids removed, her hair cut, washed, and restyled. I am struggling to find someone locally. Does anyone have leads? Any experienced individuals who might want to make some side money? Help!

IT'S SNOWING ON MT. BACHELOR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXHMtXbmo7k

Please support our youth at peace corner today.

Also, drink some water. Bean water doesn't count.

The cold has killed my 6-year-old OEM Tacoma battery. Where can I get it replaced quickly and the old one disposed of? Preferably on the south side. Les Schwab is booked solid putting on winter tires.

Hey ya'll, I'm so confused. Every single time I've been to this family-run place, it's 100% empty. Amazing lamb, super authentic Indian spices & food... especially for being in Bend (from my limited palate, though I did live in India for about a year). They've been open for awhile, they said. And yet the place on the corner (I forget the name, but some bland spot) is like a line out the door, reservations overflowing. And this place two doors down sits empty. Highly recommend! And also very curious to know if anyone has insider info about why this is so curiously empty. Would love to see them thrive. No idea how they pay rent.

No word yet on when the highway will reopen.

Oregon was one of them. This is your reminder to vote early and use the ballot boxes.

you read that right. i was walking with a couple other people on Purcell blvd near Savannah dr (east side) on the sidewalk on the right side of the road, sometime around 9:30pm, and out of no where a white pickup truck drives up from behind us and goes OVER THE SIDEWALK AND VERY NEARLY HITS US BEFORE SPEEDING OFF. i wish i was kidding, but my friend walking behind me was mere inches from having his foot crushed. and it happened so fast, none of us could have reacted until it was too late, and we didn’t see it coming at all. i wish i’d gotten to see their license plates, but that was impossible. i’m assuming the driver was incredibly intoxicated, because otherwise i’d have to assume attempted murder.
there’s nothing to be done since i can’t know who it was, but everyone should be aware of the horribly careless people in the community.

Cold out there this morning, but nice seeing some color today before it gets all cloudy.

I was just in the Old Mill and saw that it looks like Mio Sushi has removed their signage and closed up. I’m sure they were probably nice people, but unfortunately that business had a fairly long list of bad reports from their health inspections. Very unhealthy stuff, involving improper temperatures for both food storage and incorrect sanitation in food prep areas and work surfaces.

it will be interesting in this economy to see what goes in that fairly large space next ?

Hi Bend friends - I’m considering replacing my gas water heater with a heat pump electric to decarbonize my hot water delivery. My current gas water heater is located in my garage (that I keep closed most of the time).

Does anyone else here have this setup? If so, how frequently does your kit go into backup electricity mode during the winter? Are you satisfied with how hot the water gets? Thanks!

I briefly lived in bend in 2016. My time there was cherished. I live somewhere else now but I woke up at 3am and I kept thinking about this awesome church basement where i had a few beers on a cold afternoon. I couldn’t remember the name of the place and I wondered if it was still there. Google reveals that not only is it gone, it’s a god damned DRIVE THROUGH STARBUCKS. What a blow to my morale . I remember the building being really cool. Seems like anything special is slated to be destroyed , worldwide.

To the person who ruined the neighborhood kids’ dirt jumps: You are a sh@tty ass human. You must live such a sad that this is how you spend your Saturday.

Our kids put their heart and soul into this, and you completely ruined it. And broke their shovel in half.

After everything our hurting community has gone through this week… bloody hell. WTF is wrong with you?!?

Wow! This has been crossed off my bucket list! I’ve always wanted to go to a haunted event or maze… I paid for both events & only successfully completed the clown one. Pleasantly horrified. Sorry to the clown I slapped in the chest - truly terrified me when you came around a corner & were so tiny compared to me! I will never return, but it seems I gave the reaction your actors were going for since they didn’t leave me alone lol!! 10/10 for a night out with friends for this single momma! The adrenaline dump & laughter soooo worth the heart pumping fear!!

just saw like 4 police cruisers and 3 fore and emt pass Lava Lanes going east on Hwy 20

Theyre gettin SOMEbody

anybody know anything more?

they acquired & renovated the trailhead lodge this year so it will be there. anyone else applying for housing??

I’d love to start a chat to room with people we’re most compatible with.
they’ll start creating leases mid November

I’d love to buy bend t shirts where all the money goes to the cause? I’ve seen a few out there but it’s hard to know which are verified? Thank you!

I want to convert a parlor size guitar into an octave mandolin but absolutely do not have the skills to do so. I think it should be fairly simple, just need a new bridge, new nut and a few extra tuning pegs. Anyone think they could manage something like this? Happy to pay whatever fair.
