Our little neighborhood market just a block away from home. A small grocery store but has almost anything you would need. Plus most things there are organic and they have a decent bulk section. Farmers Union Coffee roasters also operates a coffee shop inside the market. Great coffee!

Eugene has so many new murals by local and international artists. I was even inspired to create my own poppy mural on my fence here at the Friendly Flowerhouse. Check out the mural map and take yourself on a walking tour. https://www.eugene-or.gov/DocumentCenter/View/37855/20-x-21-Mural-Brochure?bidId=
