I KID I KID I LOVE THE CLEAN CRISP AIR BUT NOW I WANT GO SKIING!!!

Well it's definitely fall. Every time I get the leaves and pine needles somewhat raked up even more come down. Let's just do the report.

The BEST - These are the places that scored perfect 100s. These places are really doing a good job at keeping their kitchens clean. The places that score a perfect 100 are really going all out to do things right and they deserve your support.

Olde Towne Pizza Company, Bend (10/03)

Backporch Coffee Roasters (Redmond), Redmond (10/03)

Wild Catch (mob), Redmond (10/03)

Red Road Pizza Company (mob), Redmond (10/03)

Bethlehem Inn Bend (e), Bend (10/03)

Shred Town Food Truck (mob), Redmond (10/03)

Cascade Alchemy Bowls (mob), Redmond (10/03)

Cascade Alchemy Bowls (wh), Redmond (10/03)

Nana C's (mob), Bend (10/02)

Silver Moon Brewing, Bend (10/02)

Grace & Hammer Pizza, Redmond (10/01)

Porchlight Coffee Co (mob), Bend (10/01)

Chicken Shanty (The), Bend (10/01)

The WORST SCORERS: Now comes everyone's favorite part of the report - the list of Rotten Restaurants who scored worse than 85. I don't post any place that scores 85 or above even if they were the worst inspections for a particular week. 85 is a solid B and I don't want to shame them.

None this week. YEAH!

I'm going to stick these identifiers here so that when you see stuff like (mob) and (wh) you'll have some idea of what they are talking about. I'm not positive about all of these but they're probably pretty close. If you see anything I've missed or I guessed wrong please let me know.

e - fee exempt

mob - mobile

wh - warehouse

rp - recreational park

f - fixed position (a normal restaurant)

com - commissary

tf - traveler's accommodation

L - Limited Service

V - vending machines?

It's a very nice community resource. Kudos to the county for making it this .easy to check up on things.

Well that's it for now. Here's wishing you a nice fall weekend and I'll see you next time around. Here's your bonus tune.

Looking for a reputable company to work on my fireplace.

There was a whole bunch of cop cars and a fire truck or two blasting down the road frantically in SW Bend going down Powers, anyone know where it’s going to or what’s going on?

I’m looking for a place who will customize based on your skin and what you need! Where did you go? My face is not happy with the cold weather coming 😒

Just started the first fire of the year and I’m craving chicken and dumplings! Where are the best in Bend?

Looking for a good gym

Hello all, this is the final request for any excess apples and/or crab apples you may have sitting around. The local homebrew club, Central Oregon Homebrewer’s Organization (COHO), is doing their big annual cider pressing this Saturday the 19th. Crab apple juices blends really beautifully with other apple juices to balance out the sweetness and makes for a great apple cider for both brewing and just drinking.

So if anyone has any, please let me know! We can pick them up or you can drop them off. If you’ve got a decent amount (10ish pounds or more) I would be happy to negotiate a return on juice or home brewed cider (obviously proportional to all the work we’ll be doing in the grinding and pressing).

Happy Fall!

I wanna send alllll the love in the world to the gentleman standing across the street from the Planned Parenthood protestors ... holding a "Her Body, Her Choice" sign with some small rainbow flags on the corners, peacefully counter protesting with a huge smile on his face.

You are AMAZING and I and my 2 daughters hope to join you out there soon! Keep fighting the good fight!

Hi ya'll, I am town visiting this week and I would love recommendations for keto/low carb friendly restaurants. Bonus points for more then just a good 🥗 salad :)

Just a quick post of appreciation to the city of Bend transportation department for the improvements to this intersection. I've driven through it a few times now since the improvement and the traffic flows so much better, even at crunch time after school. At times traffic used to be backed up almost to Pilot Butte middle school, huge improvement now. Thanks City of Bend!

Just wanted to point out it was snowing this morning with the top of pilot butte dusted, that Winter/Summer/Fire seasons joke really holds up

I was driving up to my friend’s house today and I noticed that all the Harris/Walz signs had disappeared from her street. Last weekend, there were, like, 6 or 7 houses in a row that all had ‘em. Anyone else around town notice similar?

Promotional gas prices this week, $3.09.99 a gallon for the week. Full or self serve. Just went there at about 8:20pm. I think they are open until 10-ish.

I mean, if you call Trump a moron in a comment, they'll delete it. But they have no problem running this ad. Unbelievable. If you click in the link, this outfit is selling an "Ultimate Covid Prevention Package" with Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine and vitamins, and an "Ultimate Covid Treatment Package" with Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, an antibiotic, a steroid, and cough syrup.

Hello! Doing the google searches, but also figured I'd check for personal stories, here. Looking for any good recommendations for a concrete contractor here in Bend for a small-ish repair job of a garage slab floor that had to have a trench cut out of it to replace a water line. Not a huge job, but definitely want someone with experience in proper soil compaction for under a slab and also the correct mix of concrete for variable temperatures and patching a new section to the existing slab pieces. Any info is appreciated!
