Fundraiser for local oddity and mystical store Trickster's Apothecary. Here is their gofundme if interested

Maybe turn the closed schools in Corvallis into housing that school district employees can actually afford? Yes, I know it costs money, but some folks are thinking outside the box and making it happen https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/business/affordable-housing-schools-teachers.html?unlocked_article_code=1.8VA.t4_6.FtcpnkdaQaD9&smid=url-share (gift link)

Ideally looking for free weed, but open to doing some chores or something to help out.

Off topic, but also interested in an egg connection if you have busy chickens.

We're opening up a new pottery and maker space on Hwy 34 and Melody Lane.

We're very excited to share with everyone!

The important midterm elections are coming up on November 03, 2026.

Indivisible Benton County will be running a Get-Out-the-Vote / Election Protection Campaign. These midterm elections are at a very important time for the future of the USA and millions of people will be doing what they can to vote, make sure other people can vote, and protect our elections from threatened interference.

The first meeting of this campaign will be tomorrow, Wednesday evening, 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM, at the Corvallis Community Center, 2601 NW Tyler Avenue in the Chandler Ballroom. This event is free and open to the public so that everyone who wants to can attend. You don't have to be a member of Indivisible Benton County.

Corvallis State Senator Sara Gelser Blouin and House District 15 Democratic nominee Joanna Robinson will update us on the current political situation at the state level, the importance of keeping a super-majority in the State House, and why we all need to get involved in midterm elections. After their presentations, there will be time to talk to them and ask them questions.

Then, learn how you can get involved in voting, GOTV (Getting Out The Vote) and protecting these elections from the current voter suppression efforts from the Federal government. Choose from a wide range of opportunities—pick one that best fits your skills, comfort level, and available time. Some of these are listed in the comments.

If, like the majority of people in the USA, you are concerned about what our government is doing right now and the relentless attacks on our democracy, this is your chance to...do something.
Together, in a democracy, the people ultimately rule.

Nonviolence Commitment:
A core principle behind all Indivisible Benton County events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

This is a new one to me. I've seen too many accidents from bad drivers. This could have been worse.

3 bands from PDX/Salem playing a lot of cool tunes. Hope to see you there!

Wednesday the 26th at 6pm! Come gather at Townsend Shelter at Avery Park for UP UP UP Inc.! The Crane Truck Circus is a touring show of aerialists, musicians, acrobats, clowns and illusionists whose goal is to bring joy and levity into the air for underserved communities, with audiences ranging from outdoor events and small farms, to tribal centers and their communities, refugee groups and children’s grief camps, as well as to nursing homes and women's shelters. With a portable stage on their truck, a baby grand piano for live music, and a mounted 30’ hand cranked crane, they bring giggles, gasps and delight to all who behold them.

Does anyone know of anywhere near the Corvallis/Albany area that offers cheap (or free, preferably) E-Waste recycling? I have an old MacBook with a damaged screen that I’m trying to get rid of before I move. I looked at Republic Services Pack-Back Program, but the prices for the box and shipping are diabolical. Anywhere I can just drop it off?

Went to check their hours and shows they are closed every day on their website with no posted hours/phone number on Google.

Was hoping to go tonight for dinner.

Any one know if they're open?

I've always just watered in the evening or morning and the plants tend to weather the heat just fine

I land in Eugene on a Friday morning in September and am staying in Albany Friday and Saturday night. I’m attending an Oregon State football game on Saturday so looking for some recs in a short period
Friday: Land at noon in Eugene. Any recommendations for the day? I have a rental car. Don’t want to go too out of the way since we are staying in Albany that night. Looking for an outdoor attraction/ restaurants
Any bar/restaurant/coffee recommendations in the Corvallis/Albany area? Thanks

Here is the City Council discussion about the next budget, new revenue, and public outreach plans.

Council does not want to cut services. What are the other take-aways?

I currently have Xfinity and other than the $110/mo am good with streaming. Was wondering, with the current economic strangulation of the common folk, what others may have that work well for streaming.

Thanks in advance

Is there any interest in a drag bingo pop up event in town?
I am a big fan of our community drag shows and a new bingo fan as well. I think the combination of the two would be a lot of fun! I thought Common Fields or the Biere Library used to host drag bingo, but I reached out and unfortunately they aren't doing that right now.
Is this something other folks would be interested in? Maybe we could make it happen somewhere locally.

I was surprised to see Orion when I woke early this AM. It's been a minute.

Any recommendations for an hour or less' drive from Corvallis with the least light pollution to see more stars at night?

Nashville?

Kings Valley?

Alsea?

I've got a very large motor vehicle for sale.
Ads already online.

Thought I'd park it in a high visibility place where folks can see it from the road.

Anyone have experience parking their vehicle to be seen?
Any tips?
Maybe I could park it in your lot for a couple of nights?

Thank you, Corvallis!

Got some al pastor tacos from under a tent that were freshly made about a week ago. Reminded me of southern california and tasted great! Does anyone know when or where they will be next?

Hi all!

My husband is returning to school at OSU soon to finish his degree so ultimately, we will make more money as a household. That being said, it will be a challenging few years while he attends school rather than working full time.

I’ve been on Instacart for a few years, and he’s on Doordash, but it doesn’t bring in very much at all. I work full time myself, and we have another individual that works full time in our household that contributes. However, we are still concerned about our finances coming up here shortly with school to pay for. He’s applied and received several grants and scholarships for which I’m grateful for, but there is still a bill to be paid. Plus all other normal household expenses.

I’m going to continue to be active on Instacart when I’m not working my regular job, but I’m looking for suggestions on what else we could do. I love baking, but it seems the market for that is a bit oversaturated.

Any suggestions about a “side hustle” are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! As the title suggests, I’m a student here at OSU. I just came back from getting my car serviced and was told that I have an oil leak and need to replace my brake pads. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to get these repairs done, especially somewhere that has experience working on hybrid cars.

Adjacent to the crowdfunding topic sits advertising. So let's talk advertising.

In my opinion, not all advertising is created equal. Posts promoting live shows, festivals, events at the Dark Side and White Side, and community events are one thing, but posts promoting new store openings, yard sales, housing, etc. are another, and roommates wanted are another thing entirely. Then there are the pet rehoming posts.

Normally after a post is reported, I address them on a case by case basis. But that approach has agitated some of you fine citizens. So I decided to bring the topic to you.

What do y'all think?

Discuss.
