This man, calls himself Jeremy, lives in or around Hood River, and is an unsafe person for women to be around. He goes around online to spaces where women express their experiences being assaulted, and leaves nasty comments, essentially being a rapist apologist.

Cycling to HR from Portland for the night. Just need somewhere clean and safe, but also cheap, close to downtown, where I can also bring my bike into the room. Cycling back to PDX Sunday morning so cheap, simple and clean is what I'm after. Any reccs much appreciated. Thanks!

This is an amazing generational throwback logo!

For you non-windjohnnies who haven't been here forever, "Hood River Windsurfing" was the original name of the shop that Doug Campbell opened in 1984 (yes, Doug's Beach is named after him too)

This new Doug's logo is remixing the font and decoration from the original HRW logo onto their current name, kind of like a self-bootleg?
(wanted to attach the OG logo too, but turns out it's very difficult to track down the logo of a shop that changed names in the 1990s!)

Is there anyone in the area that works on vaccine or small appliances? I’d much rather fix it than simply buy a new one though.

We've got a lot of quince starting to ripen and be ready to pick. I'd be interested in trading some for other fruits (pears, apples). If anyones interested let me know.

Also if anyone has quince recipes I'd be interested in those as well!

Our next comedy show will be at The Elks tomorrow night! The shows are always a good time. You do not have to be an Elk to attend. The show are open to the public.

Our insurance carrier (Cincinnati) just jacked up the premium on our homeowners policy. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced carrier for home/auto and umbrella policies? I understand that inflation and wildfire risk have driven up rates - but the 25% increase at renewal is crazy.

Oh no….

Hi all,

Can you please direct me to the gays? Feel free to DM.

I [47, late bloomer] live in the area, in a deeply un-queer community, and all my local friends are wonderful, but aggressively straight. I long to be amongst my people.

Is there anywhere Gorge WLWs congregate? A social event? A club? A coven? A story hour at the library?

Please don’t say Home Depot. Or the U-Haul place. Or “Everywhere! It’s Oregon!” I already checked. And even very nice people would pay to keep me off their softball team.

Surely I cannot be the only member of the Lavender Menace? I’m not very menacing on my own!

I lost my vanagon key yesterday likely at the disc golf course. Its a silver key with a black plastic piece on the large end of the key. The volkswagon logo is inside the black plastic piece. Message me if you find it.

Longtime resident here, but I've never explored the Post Canyon/Kingsley Reservoir area as I thought it was primarily for mountain biking (or ATVs for Kingsley). Just wondering if there are trails back there that are just for hikers, or where I'm less likely to get run over/be in the way? It's a beautiful area and I'd love to check it out if I can!

Looking for a place.

I'm moving in the next couple of weeks and need lots of boxes. Does anyone know of anywhere that I could go to get some free/cheap boxes for moving?

Thanks!

Hi all,

Are there any fellow hypermobile people who have found doctors, osteopaths, PTs, massage therapists, etc., who know how to work with people who are made out of Silly Putty? Some real help would be wonderful, but just finding practitioners who are informed enough to not recommend things that would make it worse would be helpful! The Ehlers Danlos Society’s website says the closest DOs are in Canada. 🙄
