In a nutshell

the best place to get away from frentic metropolitan madness
Billiard place with great music & clips
Maria250 Says: Much fun we had there, trying to play billiard while listen to Johnny Cash's "Hurt", some Bob Dyllon, Jimi Hendrix, and others. They have a big screen there. Had a few rounds of funny (and lousy) played Billiard, and glasses of soda. Enjoyed that place a lot. Nice, calm and...

International House Of Pancakes: Come hungry leave happy
Maria250 Says: The first International House of Pancakes opened in a suburb of Los Angeles in 1958 serving a menu of hearty breakfast favorites. Today the restaurant still serves its signature dishes like the original buttermilk pancakes and pigs in blankets: sausage links wrapped in...
Oregon Electric Station & Lounge: All aboard for Whiskey and Beer
steedappeal Says: A local institution with lots of bric-a-brac of Eugene railroad and Nike-wearing runners' glories past. The best selection of spirits in town- especially their vast wall of single-malt whiskeys.Friendly service at the bar, too. Casual.
Maria250 Says: Eugene Airport , also known as Mahlon Sweet Field, is owned and operated by the City of Eugene. It is the fifth-largest airport in the Pacific Northwest, providing commercial air service to a six-county region in mid-Oregon. The airport also has an expanded air cargo...

Beware the dishonest taxi driver...
steedappeal Says: Upon arriving at the Amtrak Station, I approached a driver if I might share a cab with the person ahead of me. He took me past my hotel (when I mentioned to him he just ignored me) and dropped the lady off a medium distance away. He then re-started the meter and brought me...
steedappeal Says: Best to wear rubber-soled shoes since this is a very walkable town.Dressing in layers in moderate layers is recommended. Essential to have a rain hat or hooded parka.Overall, Fall type weather. rarely cold and no humidity- perfect!
steedappeal Says: It is surprising that so little attention is paid to honoring the locations used to shoot the mega-hit, "National Lampoon's Animal House". Perhaps it speaks to the fact that U of O students are not a heavily Greek bunch and are goal-directed and focused on their future...
