Hopefully the (new) home for Oregon City, OR news and discussions here on Lemmy.

So what's going on out there?

I recently moved into the area. I am running a small-time BBQ biz at the ORC Farmer's Market. By small-time I mean no bona fide food truck, grass roots with tent canopy and tables.

I love feeding people and I'm passionate about making solid barbecue. I feel like too many places have no heart in what they make. I do.

My menu is limited right now but I assure you what I have is bomb. At the very least, I make quality Instagram videos...

Feel free to check us out on 9/6. Can't make it? It's all good, I'll be doing another in October and potentially the Winter Market.

Oh, and to help keep costs low for customers, I don't take tips. There isn't even a screen option when payment is made so there is no guilt or pressure. It's all family run so whatever is made that day is what we make.

Menu:

Brisket Fly Combo - $20

Comes with brisket sandwich, Nicoleslaw, chips, and a drink.

Pulled Pork Fly Combo - $18

Comes with pulled pork sandwich, Nicoleslaw, chips, and a drink.

Brisket Sammie - $14

Pulled Pork Sammie - $12

Nicoleslaw - $4.00

Chips - $2.50

Drinks - $1.00

Over a week-old news as I post this, but I had no idea until just now...

I live in Oregon city, and have this rosemary bush that I accidentally rooted a cutting from. With everything being so expensive, I thought I'd offer it up!

If the Kroger-Albertson's merger goes through (late August 2024), then the OC Albertson's and Safeway stores would be sold to New Hampshire-based C&S Wholesale Grocers (Piggly-Wiggly, Grand Union).

Closed last week (1/15-19/2024) due to the Ice Storm, and now likely closed this week (1/22-26/2023) due to cybersecurity crisis.

Closed since 2011, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is set to begin repairs of the 150-year-old structure to restore commercial and recreational water traffic between the lower and upper Willamette River.

To provide residents a safe location for private party transactions, including online purchases and for child custody transfers, Oregon City Police has created "Safe Exchange Zones" located at the Robert Libke Public Safety Building. Two designated zones are available-the public parking lot and building lobby; both zones are under 24/7 video surveillance.

A list of other SafeTrade Stations can be found at http://www.safetradestations.com/safetrade-station-list.html (link taken from original article).

"A reminder that our market is moving beginning November 4th! Make plans to join us at our new home located at Clackamas Community College's Green Lots for our much-anticipated winter market season."
