A small selection of local things that make us happy 

Sometimes, because we’re Eugene Weekly and we can, we choose random things that our staff and writers love about this part of Oregon we call home. Election conspiracy theories to the contrary, the Weekly’s Best of Eugene is a readers poll. Those votes are a chance for folks across Lane County to decide what they love. But staff picks? That’s on us.

And just like in the national and local elections, if you want things to be different — vote! It still matters. Or write us a letter and tell us something — or someone — you love in this wet and wonderfully weird place.
