Do you want a camera shop that sells cool cameras old and new. Offering a film developer.

are they fed or cared for by any organization?

Hi! My husband just had an interview for a job in Grant's Pass so we were able to visit the area, and we liked what we were able to see in the two days we were there. We mostly focused on the Medford/Jacksonville area, and I suppose I'm just trying to get a sense of whether we will be able to build a community there, since both of our families are spread out across the country.

We currently live in a small town in Virginia that really hasn't been great for us, we've found few like-minded people to befriend, and we're a bit too far from any major cities to do our main socializing there.

We are late thirties, looking to start a family soon, progressive politically, not religious, and enjoy food/beer, live music, exercising, skiing, hiking etc. From what I've read, southern OR is quite red/MAGA/MAHA leaning, with pockets of blue like Ashland. But I've also seen that a lot of the population in those areas are retirees or college students, which completely misses us demographics-wise.

Will we be able to find and build a village in this area? We hope to stay for a long time if the job is a good fit. Thanks!!

Who has the best wings in the valley? Preferably a place with a good amount of sauce options.

Who around here makes a decent breakfast bagel?

If you’re also looking for friends, you should try Bumble BFF! It’d be nice to have more people on there, especially in Medford! Looking for new friends it would be great to meet you :)

Hey Medford homeowners — I run a local window cleaning company here in the Rogue Valley and we’re opening up a few more spots as the weather picks up.

We offer:

Interior & exterior window cleaning

Screen and track cleaning

Fully insured, local, professional service

No pressure — just offering free, fast quotes so you know what it would cost.

Just shoot us a text or give us a call at 541-538-9227

We were outside tonight looking at the moon. Super pretty by the way! Take a look 👀 Anyway, we live on the Bear Creek canal. Been here for over 20 years and I have NEVER seen such a huge rodent run from one side of our street to the other. It was about 20 pounds. The size of a medium dog. Anyone seen Nutria in Southern Oregon?

Looking to get a coffee-soaked watch in for a cleaning and possibly a new battery. Any recommendations on where to go or who to avoid?

Cliff Bentz represents Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District. His Instagram @repbentz has his district listed in the bio, links directly to bentz.house.gov, and every post is him conducting official congressional business at committee hearings.

He has disabled comments entirely. No constituent can respond, question, or engage with their elected representative on the platform he uses to conduct and publicize official government business.

This is not a personal account. This is a .gov linked official congressional presence and he has silenced everyone.

It gets worse. If you use the contact form on bentz.house.gov to actually try to reach him, his office does not respond to your question or concern. Instead they harvest your email address and use it to send you unrelated mass campaign style emails. You attempted to contact your representative and got put on a mailing list.

In 2024 the Supreme Court ruled in Lindke v. Freed that when a public official uses a platform to conduct official government business, blocking or silencing constituents can violate the First Amendment. This appears to meet that standard clearly.

Southern Oregon deserves a representative who isn’t hiding from the people he works for. He has disabled many avenues of public accountability while keeping all the platforms that let him talk at you.

If you want to push back here is how:

File a civil rights complaint with ACLU Oregon at intake.aclu-or.org

Submit a news tip to OPB at opbnews@opb.org or 503-977-7768

Contact the First Amendment Coalition at firstamendmentcoalition.org

Email his office directly demanding an explanation at bentz.house.gov

File a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics at oce.house.gov

The next game night fill be Friday the 24th at Grape Street Bar. Gameplay will start around 7.

Just fyi the top most parking lot at Roxy Ann is closed. Not sure why. The trails are open and the other lot is also open. Just know, if you wanna hike/walk. The top lot is closed. 😞

Anyone here have experience living at either place, current or past tenants? Would love to hear the full picture: the good, the bad, and anything in between.

There aren’t many reviews on either since they are newer properties. Just trying to get some real feedback before making a decision.

Thanks 🙏🏼

Hi! I’m in my 20s and based near the area, and I’m looking to find more queer-friendly spaces, events, or communities. I’d love to meet people around my age in chill, social environments (not dating-focused at all).

I’m into cafés, books, art, writing, anime/manga, and small events, and I prefer quieter spaces over clubs :)

If anyone has similar interests and wants to chat, feel free to reach out but I’m mainly looking to connect through shared spaces/events first. I’d also really appreciate any recommendations!
