Good morning, Lookout Eugene-Springfield,
In 2021, Springfield purchased a plot of land to act as a wetland offset for a sewer project. But, as Lillian Schrock-Clevenger reports, it turns out the city only needed 12 of the 34 acres and just sold the rest. Some residents are concerned about what’s planned.
Need something to do this weekend? I recommend stopping by the Lane County Home & Garden Show. Lookout Eugene-Springfield will be there, so come by and say hello. If that’s not your speed, Annie Aguiar has her weekly look at the best events you should consider. This week, her picks include an art walk in Springfield, jazz in Eugene and improv.
Are you ready for some football? Major League Baseball hasn’t even started, so it’s kind of a hard pass for me. But the Oregon Ducks are about to begin spring football practice, and Tyson Alger has all the details about what you need to know before the April 25 spring game.
What’s the most popular outdoor tourist spot in Oregon? It’s Crater Lake, as a local might think. But thanks to social media, it’s also locations like Secret Beach, Blue Pool and Thor’s Well. Bill Sullivan, our resident expert on all things outdoors, does not agree that those are the best spots.
