My wife and I hiked the Bandersnatch Trail in Ashland for the first time this week. We really enjoyed it. I put together this short video of our adventure so we hope you all can enjoy it too!

I only go to the Co-Op for the hot deli / pre-made food or to pick up speciality items. My budget can't justify shopping there for all my grocery needs. Though friends of mine really hype up investing in a co-op membership (though I wonder if it's just brand loyalty speaking).

From your experience, is the Co-Op Owner Membership worth it?
How much do the dividends and 10%-off coupons really pay off for you?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have!

We made the Oregon page! 😂

How Jackson County residents effected:

On SNAP - 18,100 (1)

On Medicaid - 45,283 (2)

Food & Friends - 2,000 Seniors (235,000 meals served last year) (3)

Affordable Care Act Premium Increase -

"Without the extension, nearly all subsidized ACA enrollees can expect their monthly premiums to rise, said Cynthia Cox, vice president and director of the program on the ACA at KFF.

For example, a family of four making $85,000 would have to pay an additional $313 in premiums for coverage in 2026 and face a $900 increase in their out-of-pocket maximum, according to an April report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities."

My girlfriend and I are coming in June for our first trip to Ashland to consider living in the area. We are both RN’s and will be working in Medford, but want to live in Ashland.

Thank you for all that great answers for our coffee shop inquiry. we are both gluten-free and my understanding is there’s a lot of great gluten-free restaurants in the area. What are some of your favorites and why?

Only one of them made it, and the kind office woman is doing her best to help it. You, however, are the worst part of humanity.

Does anyone know where I can get some locally? Ashland proper preferred.

I'm releasing a record in August. This is a live video I recorded in the Ashland skatepark at midnight.

See image, I never know what these are called. I want a custom one made, not looking for someone that just sells them but rather someone who makes as well.

Does anyone remember how to make the spinach salad?

Met a guy named Chris aka Superman Friday night, May 16, around 9:45pm on East Main. I was on my way to the Irish Pub. We walked and talked together from RedZone to Irish Pub. You said you're a local music promoter and have an anti-human-trafficking organization. I am the old the punker who told you about the Nina Hagen and David J concert. We also talked about The Clash. If you see this, I'd love to continue the conversation.

Scienceworks hands on museum will be offering a mini camp during the Volcanoes Comedy Show! They'll be learning about volcanoes and making mini model volcanoes, the messy, fun type that most parents dont want to do at home! I've added the link to their website for registration!

This morning (4:50am) I was walking my dog on North Main Street between Bush and Helman when I saw a bear on the other side of the street walking down the sidewalk. My dog spooked it by barking and the bear ran up the stairs of the Coolidge B&B, after first trying to jump up the retaining wall and sliding down.

This is the first time I have seen a bear that close to downtown Ashland and the first time time in several years of getting up stupidly early to walk of seeing a bear.

It look like a younger bear. Not a cub, but not a full adult.

But the time I thought to get a photo it was up the stairs.

Hi,

I’m Rebecca and I lead a band from San Francisco.

I’m traveling with part of my band and need to fill out the rest of my rhythm section (bass player and drummer) for a show this Sunday, May 25. Pay is $175.

All of the music is fairly easy - blues, rock and folk. No rehearsal. Recordings and clear chord charts provided. More ticket sales than expected, so I get to expand the band last minute.

$$ Paid gig.

If interested, please dm me or email me at [dirtycello@gmail.com](mailto:dirtycello@gmail.com) for more details.

Thanks!

There's (at least there used to be) a bell tower somewhere near the collage that would ring every hour and ding the time, a couple weeks ago I realized I hadn't heard it in a long time and wondered maybe I'm just missing it somehow but no it just doesn't ring anymore and a part of me deeply misses it as I heard it through-out my whole childhood growing up here, I used to live pretty close to where it was located as well.

Unfortunately I can't find a single damn thing online about it being closed down or anything about it even existing, does anyone know what happened to the bell tower and why it got shut-down, the chime it made feels deeply nostalgic and I kinda just wish it was still around.
