ER in Eugene Again

10 hours ago | eugeneweekly.com | Christian Wihtol

McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center’s much-anticipated freestanding emergency department in Eugene will go on a vacant parcel just west of Chambers Street, plans filed with the city show. Many Eugene residents have been awaiting news after the Springfield hospital’s CEO declared eight months ago that McKenzie-Willamette would open an emergency department somewhere in Eugene, without providing specifics. The lack of updates since then led some Eugene residents to fear the project stalled.
Knick-Knacks, Paddywhacks and Clowns

1 week ago | eugeneweekly.com | Savannah Brown

I must begin by saying that this trinket-hunt article was born from my biggest relationship problem: I’m set to inherit my great-grandmother’s clown collection. Since the Great Depression, she has been accumulating clown figurines, paintings, costumes and other clown-related knick-knacks, because clowns made her happy. She knows that I, too, have been collecting figurines since I was a young teenager, so she’s willed me her assortment for when her time comes. Here’s the rub.
Yet Another Student Housing High-rise?!

A Dallas, Texas-based student housing giant is the latest company to target Eugene with a proposed student-housing complex. But it’s too soon to be sure this one will proceed. The Dinerstein Companies, one of the nation’s larger student-housing corporations, is tentatively eyeing the site of the shuttered 66 Motel on East Broadway for an 11-story building — three stories of parking topped by eight stories of student apartments, the company’s filings with the city show.

Polluter’s Dwindling Assets Scrutinized

2 weeks ago | eugeneweekly.com | Christian Wihtol

In the last few years, the owners of J.H.Baxter & Co.’s west Eugene wood-creosoting factory seemed destitute. They saved money by not replacing old, broken-down pollution-control equipment for treating the factory’s toxic wastewater. Instead, the company illegally boiled off hundreds of thousands of gallons of the nasty stuff directly into the air, the fumes wafting toward nearby homes in the Bethel neighborhood.

Remember how, in Disney’s Dumbo (1941), there was the circus scene right at the end with the cute flying elephant, and everyone was singing, and everything was all bright and happy? Paranormal Cirque II is not like that. Do you remember the utterly terrifying ‘“Pink Elephants on Parade” dream sequence where demonic elephants parade to an eerie march? The feeling evoked there is much closer to Paranormal Cirque II (though, nothing truly compares to the fever dream that was Dumbo).
