A Eugene physical trainer who works with people with Parkinson’s disease has opened a gym where her clients battle the ailment with exercise — more specifically, by learning boxing moves. Mark Baker tells the story.
Brian Obie, the owner of 5th Street Public Market and The Gordon Hotel, says his newest housing-retail project will break ground in early 2026 if all goes as planned. The Station House will rise at 5th and Oak, by the Amtrak station. Ben Botkin reports.
