A True Oregon Original --  Abby's Pizza!  

It all started in July of 1964 when two long-time friends opened the doors of the very first Abby's Pizza Inn on N.E. Stephens in Roseburg, Oregon.

It wasn't long before word of Abby's spread like melted mozzarella cheese throughout the region, and a legend was born. In June of 1965, Abby and Skinny added to the legend by opening their second Abby's – this time in Grants Pass, Oregon.

During the next eight years their operation mushroomed to include seven more outlets, each built around a simple, successful formula: create a friendly, family atmosphere. Maintain the highest operating standards. And serve great pizza.

By 1997, Abby's Legendary Pizza locations could be found from Wenatchee, Washington to Medford, Oregon. Today, there are 35 Abby's locations serving hungry pizza customers throughout Washington and Oregon.

Discover The 7 Keys To Living a More Fulfilling, Healthy and Wealthy Life! You'll Find Out How To Finally Get Ahead And Attract Anything You Want In Life!

 

This world is toxic and it is sick. Many hate watching the news, reading the newspaper or even interacting with their neighbors. You don’t want to appear antisocial. You genuinely love people. But this world has made us cold and cruel.

 

The result is a society of unhappy people. Well over 50% of all marriages end in divorce. Well over 50% of all young adults do not even believe in marriage. We need to get back to the days where it was easy to talk to strangers and it was unnatural not to be polite.

 

Back to the days where people actually believed in love and looked out for their neighbors. We need to start loving ourselves again. We each need to be the change we wish to see in the world. We need to heal ourselves and start loving ourselves again.

 

Happy people are successful people. This is simply because being happy makes it easy to stay motivated to reaching your goals. Your thoughts have a very significant impact on the life you lead and the quality of the relationships you will have with family members, friends, and significant others.

The Annual Willamette Valley Ornament Hunt   

 

It’s time once again for one of the Willamette Valley’s most beloved traditions: the seventh annual Willamette Valley Ornament Hunt, taking place across the Willamette National Forest and Umpqua National Forest.

Between November 15 and Dec. 25, 2024, two hundred locally-crafted wooden ornaments will be hidden along two-dozen trails in both forests—where eagle-eyed hikers can seek them out and register to win this year’s grand prize, which includes a two-night getaway in the Willamette Valley. Here’s more information: https://www.willamettevalley.org/ornament

Archaeologists Say Oregon May Be Oldest Site of Human Occupation In North America

Oregon archaeologists have found evidence suggesting humans occupied the Rimrock Draw rock shelter outside of what is now the Eastern Oregon town of Riley more than 18,000 years ago.

Patrick O’Grady, along with other archeologists and students at the University of Oregon, have discovered new evidence suggesting that Oregon could be the oldest site of human occupation in North America.

According to a new radio carbon dating analysis, the site dates back 18,000 years ago,

If that’s true, it would be way earlier than archaeologists had previously thought, coming before the Clovis culture once seen as the oldest.

“This is a very exciting development for the archaeological community,” said Heather Ulrich, BLM Oregon/Washington archaeology lead. “Previous excavations on BLM public lands in Oregon have provided archaeological evidence of human occupation dating back 14,000 years. Thanks to the partnership with Dr. O’Grady and the university, these new dates push our archaeological knowledge of human occupation in North America even farther, perhaps the oldest yet.”
