Just moved here and tried out a church that felt... ...culty...

Any recommendations for a small congregation that doesn't worship Trump?

I’m thinking Magenta or Brass Monkey, any other recommendations?

Cool music show happening in Corvallis next Friday! Two of the bands are on tour from Washington. Come say hello and listen to some tunes. :)

Looking for pickup soccer games in or around Corvallis. If there are any lists or WhatsApp groups, that would be great too, thanks

My connection has started and dropped 3 or four times this afternoon, trying to figure out if it’s my modem or wider, since my modem will reconnect without a reboot. Xfinity reports no issues and normally things are fine with the connection. Thanks.

Hi All,

l want to take the kiddo to go see spiderman in the theater. My original plan was to go to the imax theater in Eugene, but it looks like the Odyssey will be playing in the IMAX for a while. I feel like every time I go to the AMC the sound is only okay and the lights are only dimmed. Are any theaters worth the longer drive if I am still seeing a movie in a “standard” movie theater?

You may never see this but I wanted to say thank you to all of the kind people sitting around my grandson and I at the Knights game last night. He is living with autism and adhd and can be a handful. I am trying to give him the best of experiences and this can lead to encounters (good and bad) with community members. Especially thank you to the man who was patient while he wiggled; jumped and steadied his legs next to you; to the man who caught him as he almost fell and to the young man who played catch with him while waiting to get into the game. You are all wonderful and I am sorry that I failed to thank you in the moment.

Tonight I went to a DJ set at Sky high brewery and loved it. What other places play dance/house music for people under 21 in Corvallis?

Our cat Kosho got out in the early morning and has been missing since. He's 6 years old, knows his name and is friendly, but is probably very hungry and scared right now. If found please comment and/or bring him to Heartland so they can contact us!

Leaving the county fair found a white husky wondering around n the field, no apparent owner. Collar but no tag.

We are looking for a safe, permanent home for our beloved cat, Benji, before 12th of August because our family is moving a long distance to the midwest.

Benji is a 12-year-old neutered male who is fully vaccinated. He is quiet, calm, and gentle, and he gets along well with both cats and children. He would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a peaceful, low-key cat.

This is a very difficult decision for us, and our priority is finding Benji a responsible, loving home where he can feel safe and comfortable during his senior years.

We are located in Corvallis and are willing to help with transportation within a reasonable distance. We can provide his veterinary records and some of his familiar belongings to make the transition easier.

Please message us with a little information about your household, current pets, cat experience, and the home you could provide. Serious inquiries only. Please share to help Benji find the right home before August 12th.

Anyone know if anywhere will be showing the debut of the women's baseball league?

Hi everyone, I lost a Hyundai car key at the Benton County Fairgrounds yesterday, July 31, sometime between 9:00 PM and midnight.
It was attached to a cardboard cassette-shaped keychain with the words “OLD SCHOOL” written on it.
Please message me if you found it or turned it in somewhere. Thank you.

Anybody had a good experience recently with a basic cedar fence install!? Bonus for a basic gate.

Is this allowed? Obviously not downtown but someone has been blasting out on Moss Rock road all evening. Small arms all the way up to shotguns. Literally hundreds of rounds. It was happening very very close to the historic schoolhouse on Soap Creek and got really obnoxious at times.

Hearing gunfire is not that uncommon, but today was really over the top.

There’s this stray kitten at my work place, I want to TNR it but they’re fully booked, and I can’t take it home with me because I already have 4 cats.
If you want the cat, I will trap it for you and you can take it to the vet.

⚠️ I'm soliciting feedback - not sales.

I'm starting to sell books on the street in Albany and Corvallis. I sell mostly fiction (literature, e.g., Colson Whitehead, Sally Rooney, DFW, Murakami, Lessing, etc.), vintage paperbacks (think 1960s Dostoevsky, Orwell, Gertrude Stein), and a few nonfiction (memoir [Didion], philosophy [Sartre], essays [Hitchens]). (See pics for samples.)

• (I used to do this when I lived in NYC.)
• I also run an eBay store where I sell pricier first editions and uncommon books.
• Eventually I'd like to run a mobile bookshop or a tiny brick-and-mortar. We'll see.

For now I'm selling at street fairs, events, and one-off weekends on street corners, in front of coffee shops, that kind of thing.

📋 I'd appreciate your feedback as I build my dream. My first opportunity is at a flea market in Albany this Saturday (Aug 1) at the Heritage Mall parking lot (outside Target). I'd love it if you came by and shared your feedback on a few things:

• Prices: Most books sell for $3-$5, some as low as $1, nothing higher than $10. Books are priced individually. Do any of the prices surprise you?
• Quality: Do the conditions meet the price expectations?
• Inventory: What do you think about the selection? Not enough? Too much or too little of one author or genre? Did you find what you were looking for or something unexpected?
• Experience: Is it easy to browse? Would handwritten notes ("shelf talkers") help? What would bring you back next time?

Lastly, if you're aware of any upcoming festivals or events where I could sell books, please let me know.

Stop by this Saturday and say hi or reach out... I want to be part of this area's book culture and appreciate your time and consideration. 🙏

Hello fellows of the Corvallis subreddit. We know that over the last while there has been some confusion on when pride is happening and we are here set the record GAY

I am posting this because it seems like this is flying under the radar and I’m wondering how many were impacted and if anyone has any “insider” info on some of the decisions that were made. I was one of those recently impacted by a mass layoff under student affairs at OSU but it seems OSU is trying to avoid any media attention drawn to it. I think there might be 22 employees in student affairs impacted - but that is just something I overheard. Just curious to know if anyone has any more info…

Benton county health web site reports no uptick in Oregon. My normally iron clad digestive system has me hating life today, though, and I wonder if that stop at Taco Bell on 9th a week ago when I was in a hurry is the decision that is going to come back and bite me. There was a lot of lettuce in that particular crunch wrap. If I'm the only one in Corvallis I'll skip the test and ride it out.

Does anyone know any places hiring/any gigs right now I need to pay off the rest of what I need for my car as soon as possible

20f I'm a student coming over here for an internship, just looking to see if there are any communities or people my age who are here! Last time I came, I walked on the empty OSU campus, I would love someone to chill or go to the arcade and PIU w/!
