2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT AWD: Not just a Malibu Barbie truck
When a friend first saw my test 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz, he called it a “Malibu Barbie truck.” I don’t disagree. With its intentionally edgy styling, short bed and large wheels, the compact pickup looks like a large toy. But who wouldn’t want to be Malibu Barbie? She has nothing but fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun. Make no mistake, however. the pint-size Santa Cruz is a real truck. Although it has a unibody chassis instead of a steel frame, it can tow...

Lakeridge Middle School’s Junior Thespian Troupe is the first middle school ‘honor troupe’ in Oregon’s history
Patience is not a virtue for middle schoolers. It certainly isn’t for Junior Thespian Troupe #89673, Lakeridge Middle School’s official theater club. Even if no middle school Junior Thespian Troupe had ever applied to be an Honor Troupe — not once in the 90-year history of Oregon Thespians — that didn’t mean the students should wait until high school for the honor. So, they decided to apply. ...

Subaru builds on strength with the all-new 2025 Forester
Subaru builds some of the most popular cars in the Pacific Northwest, and there are good reasons why people choose the brand, including the highly capable symmetrical all-wheel drive system and the general utility of the vehicles. Among the various Subaru models, the Forester occupies a special place – it's kind of in the middle of everything. It's not the largest and not the smallest, it's among the most affordable models, and it offers plenty of space for people and cargo. And of course, it will easily conquer tough terrain where other SUVs can't go. All of that has made...
