The only negative to going to the Broadway Metro is the two hour limit on the parking meters downtown. The City of Eugene needs to change the meters to three hours so movie patrons can watch a movie without fearing a parking ticket. And before anyone brings up the parking garages nearby, they aren't very safe feeli...

Volcanic eruptions contribute largely to cooling of the planet, not warming. You may want to educate yourself on history of past eruptions and the dramatic shor term effect they've had on climate, particularly the massive eruption of Mt. Tambora in 1815. The following year was considered "the year with no summer"...

Wow. By your logic, the Eugene Marathon will be "privatizing" our public streets and paths in a few months. And every event in every reserved park shelter "makes an absolute mockery of our laws and rights as citizens." The horror.

The most disturbing part of the story is when the bill's main sponsor doesn't seem to know its provisions. Very similar to the way legislators didn't seem to know what was really in SB21. Okay, obviously a bill written by the gun lobby as part of a national agenda, handed out by ALEC or some similar organization, I g...

Gladys: The article seemed to written from the perspective of the folks who will have the "new" Broadway Metro.

I have flagged this post. It reads like a nasty anti-Semetic attack under the pretext of "support" for the Jewish community. I may be wrong, but it seems pretty clear from the content, the style, the (presumably intentional) mis-spellings and the posting under the "name" Aaron Silverstein 351, that this is not a legi...

"fliers that were sent Friday to hacked printers and fax machines". I am curious what the 'hacked printers' portion of this article actually means. Since it is a wire story, my curiosity is likely to remain unsatisfied.

When the national gun lobby wrote the bill and submitted it to Senator Kelly for him to push through, he must not have read it carefully enough to see the part where it says, "The university could regulate guns in an “area beyond a secure point where visitors are screened." The part he says is not in the bill!
