Crows looking for grub leave Portland-area lawns in tatters

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Portland-area lawns have nothing to crow about these days. Crows are feasting on grubs, leaving turfs torn up. A grub is essentially a beetle. It’s an invasive species. It’s a tasty snack for crows and racoons and other scavengers, but it’s the crows that are doing the most damage to yards.

Berries, blood and mud: Oregon’s most delicious invasive weed

Picking berries is a quintessential summer tradition for many Pacific Northwesterners. The region has many farms, but fruit can easily be found in everyday corners. For about the past 140 years, the Himalayan Blackberry has taken over Oregon’s alleyways, waterfronts, forests and backyards. This thorny vine is actually a cousin of the rose, the plant behind Portland’s most famous nickname, but instead of beautiful flowers, the vines produce juicy fruit.

FlixChatter Review: WILDWOOD (2026)—LAIKA’s handcrafted masterpiece sets the new gold standard for stop-motion animation

I’ve been a fan of Laika Studios’ stop-motion animated films since I saw Kubo and the Two Strings ten years ago. Travis Knight, the lead animator and CEO of Laika, has really pushed the envelope of what is possible in animation. My husband and I actually rewatched it within a week after watching it on a press screener. The visuals are so spectacular we wanted to experience it on the big screen with Dolby Atmos. I’m glad we did! My jaw was on the floor the entire time, and I constantly went, ‘How did they do THAT?!’

This Oregon Bookstore Fills An Entire City Block With Rooms Of New And Used Books And Is A Cozy Pick For 2027

Most bookstores get by with a few aisles. This Oregon one needs nine color-coded rooms and more than 3,500 subsections, so grabbing a map isn’t optional. It takes up an entire city block. The collection tops one million new, used, and rare books between the store and its online inventory, which is a lot of happily-ever-afters under one roof.

This Tiny Oregon Oddities Museum Is A Creature-Feature Playground For Families Who Love Weird

Shrunken heads, Bigfoot displays, and a gift shop selling 3D bat air fresheners all share one small building. Admission runs about ten bucks. That alone makes me grin. The place leans hard into retro creature-feature horror and sci-fi kitsch. Some exhibits are interactive, and there are costumes and props for goofy photos.

An Oregon Parking Lot Was Transformed Into a Forest-Inspired Library

At East County Library in Gresham, Oregon, timber columns rise through gaps in the acoustic ceiling, keeping the structure visually separate from the surfaces around it. Holst Architecture designed this detail to suggest tree trunks reaching toward a canopy. The forest reference is built into the architecture, rather than applied afterward as a decorative theme.
