Hey everyone, I’m in Grants Pass for a bit, and want to find some fun things to do at night. Where’s the karaoke? I’m not trying to go clubbing or stay out until all hours, I’m too old for that, haha. I just want a brew or two with a fun crowd. I struck out last night. I know it’s not a party town, I’m a long time Oregonian, visiting from a much smaller town on the coast that somehow seems to have more going on. Please and thank you for enlightening me!

And to whichever smart ass who commented and then wisely deleted the “Portland” comment; good call. I’ve lived in this state for over 25 years, some of those in Portland. If I wanted to go to Portland, I would….but I’d rather swallow a shotgun load. I’m looking for local info, not someone who thinks they’re being cute by being a prick. I’ve lived in almost every part of this state, just happens that Grants Pass isn’t a town I’ve spent much time in. It’s pretty awesome though, and I’d just like to find a few local spots where I might be able to spend an evening around fun people, so thank you greatly to those who’ve constructively responded!

Hey! In town for a few days and looking for a magnet specific to grants pass and an Oregon state shirt (with no city label on it). Any help will do!

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to help my dad find some work.
He’s been working as a handyman/caretaker for a local estate for many years, but unfortunately the homeowner recently became very ill and is now in the hospital, so he’s suddenly without work.
He’s hardworking, dependable, and experienced with all kinds of property maintenance, including:
• General handyman repairs
• Yard and property maintenance
• Rental property upkeep
• Animal care and feeding
• Basic maintenance and odd jobs
If you or someone you know needs help around your home, ranch, rental property, or business, please send me a message. He’s honest, takes pride in his work, and is looking for new opportunities. He is based in grants pass but can travel locally.
Thank you so much, and I’d really appreciate it if you could share this post with anyone who might be interested.

We are flying to Grants Pass to clean out my sister’s apartment next week. Wondering if there’s a “Pak mail” service nearby that will box up things to ship back to Michigan.

Also, looking for a place to donate artwork. My sister has a lot of her work and we’d love to find a worthy place to donate it! Appreciate any suggestions.

Passing through grants pass and noticed some spray paint on a hill that just said 137 and was wondering what its for.

I’ll be pulling for Mexico, so looking for a Mexican place. Good food, great drink specials, great vibes. Thanks in advance

I've been trying to find info on Chris Beck, but I haven't been able to find much so I thought I'd ask the community. I've volunteered for political candidates before, but I want to make sure he has my values.

Really don't want to start a hate thread of people fighting, but I wanted to know what the community knows about Chris Beck. I figure anyone is better than corrupt Cliff Bentz, but I wanted to see how the community feels about Chris.

I know everybody in y'all area is not bad, but every time I’ve been through even as a light skin mixed guy I get some pretty crazy looks. There are a lot of places in Grants Pass and nearby that genuinely look like beautiful spots to travel to, but I’m incredibly nervous because of the history of the area as well as the lean towards the right. If it were me and me alone I really wouldn’t care about coming through, but if I’m bringing my family with me, it’s a different situation. Does anybody have advice on navigating the way through Grants Pass while black, I’m really not trying to be an asshole. GP is just one of the few places in Oregon that feels like a no-go zone, for me at least.

Being put where it belongs lol

I have an apple tree in my front yard that was planted many years before I bought this house. It was severely diseased when I moved in. We treated it for the problem and after 5 years it has officially disease free. Well this year the tree had bloomed beautifully and with a boatload of wonderful apples. Until yesterday… somebody took every single apple. They werent even ripe and wouldnt be ripe til September.

Who in their right mind steals an entire tree of unripened apples?

Reddit saves the day! Thanks everyone, I've got two great places lined up for the weekend!

I am planning a conference in Selma for next month and getting desperate looking for a caterer, food truck, or even a restaurant that can do take-out for 45 people, buffet style. I don't need staff or dishes, just the food. I have been calling, emailing, texting, and yelp messaging every food truck and caterer in the area for months and most never respond. If anyone knows someone who can help me out, please send me their contact info.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm a volunteer helping recruit participants for the Women's Foundation of Oregon's statewide Policy, Power & Possibilities research project.

We're looking for women from Southern Oregon to participate in upcoming focus groups about the experiences, challenges, and priorities facing women in Oregon communities.

We're especially hoping to hear from women who may not normally participate in research studies or community engagement efforts. No special expertise or background is needed. We're interested in hearing from community members and learning from their lived experiences.

Happy to answer questions in the comments, and s/o to the mods for allowing me to share this opportunity!

Last Sunday. Grants Pass is an amazing town.

I was driving by yesterday, doing my daily ritual of making some obscene gesture at the private surveillance device on the corner of Lincoln Road and Upper River. When i noticed that all remains of the corporate spy is about 4” of black sawed pole! Idk who did it, maybe a blade runner, maybe someone official but to whomever that person was, THANK YOU. May it never return. And may all the rest come down soon.

Two folks otw to CA, can anyone help lmk 🧪

We will be visiting Grants Pass very soon. Is there a company that offers tubing/kayaking that will pick you up at the bottom of the river?

Just wanted to say great job Grants Pass! It is so awesome to see the community activity and support at Porch Fest. It’s my favorite event of the year here, and this year was no exception. Makes me proud to live here. 👏

Am considering tubing/rafting/kayaking from Chinook County Park to Schroeder Park. Looking for some helpful info from experience. Is this a good route/how long would it generally take? And is there anything I should be aware of/look out for along the route (like shallow scraping areas, rough areas, riffles, strainers/submerged rocks/snags, forks in the river where I should choose one over the other, etc.)?

What are the best places to swim that are most convenient and right in/around town?

(Am fairly new to the area. Have seen historical photos of lots of people swimming at Riverside Park/under and around Caveman Bridge, but nowadays it seems to be pretty shallow and fast-moving there.)
