A perspective from Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley

What Oregon says on vagrant camps

Written July 5th, 2024 by Hasso Hering

The Supreme Court’s Grants Pass decision upheld the right of cities to prohibit camping on public property. But don’t expect the ruling to make a difference in what you see on Albany streets.


Periwinkle update: Trash mound is gone

Written September 22nd, 2021 by Hasso Hering

A few weeks ago, the north end of the Periwinkle Bike Path behind Lowe’s was a mess, with a big mound of bicycle parts and other trash piled up against the wall. Now that spot on the path is clean, or at least it was when I went through there Sunday on the bike.


Thanks to whoever did the cleanup

Written January 28th, 2020 by Hasso Hering

People often leave trash by the side of the walking and bike path under the Pacific Boulevard viaduct, from Albany Station to Swanson Park. But then somebody cleans it up. Whoever does that chore, again and again, thanks a lot.
