Oh god yeah. The people here are well meaning, but.. not very bright. It's like that South Park episode where they accidentally turned the town in to a homeless camp. Except, they never woke up and figured out if we keep giving these people money, we will turn our town in to a homeless mecca. So.. they just keep giving more and more..
I got the feeling they were well meaning too.
But seeing all the BLM signs and the boarded up store fronts with signs that say “WE STILL SUPPORT BLM!!” Was just pathetic. I saw three black people in a week there: Two homeless dudes and I looked in a mirror at least twice a day.
Sad I didn’t get a chance to be terrified by the wild turkeys tho 😢
Oh they'll attack you. Best place to get attacked by turkeys is South Eugene, up in the hills and suburbs. Whole flocks of em will block the road up there.
Also, you seem to know more about our downtown situation than I do. I haven't been down there since covid and the riots broke out. I imagine a good half of those "We still support BLM!" signs are people hoping their shop won't be 'the one' that gets torched. Surprise, surprise. That does nooooothing.
I lived up in the South Hills when I was in Eugene and constantly had flocks of wild turkeys blocking my driveway, had one chase me around the backyard while I was trying to take a photo of him. Deer use to wake me up rubbing their antlers against my house in the morning.
That every day, the river bike trail system and the little Mexican taco shop/market on 6th is the only things I miss about Eugene haha.
Oh yeah! Burrito Amigos? Love me some Amigos burritos. The tinfoil can barely contain that fat burrito they hand you. River bike trail is a bit up and down. Closer you get to the University, the cleaner it tends to be. Closer you get to the Whit, the more I wouldn't wear open toed sandals; if you value being HIV negative.
I was there second week of July. Stayed at the LaQuinta off the river. So pretty close to the time the rioting started.
Went to one cafe in downtown that didn’t get destroyed but I remember the owner/waitress had a black fist RESIST shirt and laughed. She didn’t give off a vibe of being angry or hateful. Quite pleasant actually.
When she left I told my boyfriend “This is the whitest city I’ve ever been to and I live in Scottsdale. White people are the nicest people. What is she resisting?”
A lot of these people I could describe as 'hopeful Socialists'. They tend to be very aware and educated on the bloody history of Communism, and Socialism; but also tend to have convinced themselves of the "Yeah, but it doesn't have to be that way!" lie.
They know it's some kind of Socialistic insurrection, and aren't against it because they are willing to bet their life (for some reason) on the hope this time it works. So, god help us out here in the PNW. I just hope the riots up North of us helped shake enough people awake.
