Our Third Space brings a bookstore, public house to Veneta
Veneta’s new bookstore is the talk of the town, according to the folks hanging out at the bar on a Thursday afternoon. Music from the 1920s plays in the background as visitors share thoughts on their newest reads, sip drinks and eat burritos from one of the food trucks stationed just outside. Owner Jordan Mackay plays the part of the business’ host well, clad in a flat cap and vest complete with a pocket watch chain, as he welcomes customers, pours drinks and sells books. A step into the space feels almost like a jump back in time. Our Third Space opened Oct. 3 to much joy from the community. Called “perfect” by a patron who occupied an armchair in the bookstore’s living room area, the business provides just what the name implies: a third space where community members across all walks of life can spend time without obligation to spend money. The bar within the used bookstore sells beer, wine, mead and cider, as well as tea and coffee. Down the hall is Cup of Joe Cafe and right outside is the food truck pod where burgers, burritos and traditional Irish fare are available at different vendors. Our Third

Eugene eyes red-light, speed cameras to curb fatal crashes
Traffic and red-light cameras could be coming to Eugene's streets. Despite public backlash surrounding Flock cameras , the Eugene Public Works Department announced Nov. 4 it will collect feedback about whether cameras tied to traffic enforcement can reduce traffic deaths. City officials said cameras could reduce fatal crashes in Eugene if they are installed at high-crash intersections. Eugene Public Works employees said between 2020 and 2024, red-light violations and speeding caused 81 crashes that either killed or seriously injured people in Eugene. The city does not have a timeline for funding or installing cameras. City staff are surveying both City Council members and the community. The city's survey is available at surveymonkey.com/r/eug_safetycameras “We’re still early in the process, and there are many steps ahead before a program like this could implemented,” Logan Telles, transportation planner for City of Eugene Public Works Engineering, said in the announcement. Eugene City Council is scheduled to discuss the proposal at its Nov. 18 meeting. In a video announcing the survey , Telles said red light cameras have been used in other Oregon cities since the 1990s. Salem first implemented red light cameras in 2008 and added speed cameras in 2019 . In 2025 ,

EUGENE, Ore. — Colorful hats, familiar tunes and pointed lyrics are helping a group of older women in Eugene keep their political message in the public ear.

Dressed in sweaters, scarves and sewn hats, the group pairs its “granny” look with pins and protest songs aimed at speaking out on issues they care about.
