That big graphic I tried to put into my last post (about The 3/50 Project) kind of cut itself in half. But you can go here to learn all about this simple concept in keeping your local shops and restaurants alive.
And here's another fun thing for those of you who like to find all those special, hidden, independent shops and cafés in town: our new Off the Grid Guide to Hidden Good Finds in Bend, Oregon. It's a two-sided card, divided by north, mid, or south neighborhood sections of town, with reviews and directions to special (and hidden) finds in Bend. Even if you're a local, bet you didn't know about all of us! It's a great thing to put in your guest room: yep, they'll be busy for days, looking for all these cool little spots. Fun thing is, it's not just one kind of shop. In any given area, you'll find little indie boutiques or bookstores, home décor/antiques, and eateries, all highly recommended and geographically challenged.
The little representation above (just the front side) is way too small to read, but you can link to our website (www.GoodFindsBend.com), or pick up a copy at any of the spots listed. The website goes even further with map and website links, and additional recommendations for not-quite-as-hidden spots in town. We hope you find us all, have a good time exploring, and support – as much as possible – your charming, local, independently-owned businesses (whether located in out-of-the-way spots or right smack downtown!).
