Welcome to The Best Things We’ve Seen This Week – Vol. 5. We are more than a month into Governor Kate Brown’s Stay at Home, Save Lives order. Hopefully this means you are settling into a rhythm and finding ways to stay healthy and work on your emotional wellbeing. This week, Mayor Lucy Vinis also asked us to think of ways we can still help our community.
We want this space to be a place where we can share thinks we think people will like, provide tips for getting through your days at home or to just put a smile on your face. But the underlying reason why we are all home right now can’t be forgotten, so our first link every week is to a resources page on the City of Eugene website where you can find the latest information on what the City is doing, key resources and related information.
And now, enjoy this cathartic video from our friends at Travel Lane County. You gotta’ Love Lane.
