Home! This area runs in my veins, this is where my family lives and has lived for generations. Yes it rains, it makes it green, beautiful and it keeps most of the outsiders away.
It was behind that house when I was 4 or 5 when I would found some puddles in the mud. I didn't care that it was raining. I got muddy building rivers, canals, draining puddles and making new ones.
When I got back to the front door my mother would order me to the back patio. When I met her there she had a garden hose in hand and said "strip!"
I visited my family on this trip and my nephew who just turned two learned how to say "Uncle Bryant," on his second day. He knows already how to say "Fish on!"
I'm so proud, my nephew is going to grow up an Oregon boy! |

West Brothers BBQ downtown is closed. River Ranch Steakhouse on Franklin includes much of their own menu and is owned by one of the West Brothers | saccharinicity Wed Jul 27, 2005 03:48 UTC

RE: birchy99 Tue Oct 19, 2004 It pains me deeply to inform you that the West Bros BBQ is history. FYI - This is not so... West Bros. is alive and well... in Eugene. New location on Franklin Blvd. | buckman Wed Mar 16, 2005 20:58 UTC
Pre did not die by slamming into a rock after going to a Eugene bar that night. He was coming down the hill on Skyline after a party, swerved to avoid another car, and his MG rolled over and crushed his chest. I know the witnesses to the accident. |
