Coverage for Central Oregon, by Central Oregonians.
100% Local. No Paywalls.

Every day, the Source publishes a mix of locally reported stories on our website, keeping you up to date on developments in news, food, music and the arts. We’re committed to covering this city where we live, this city that we love, and we hear regularly from readers who appreciate our ability to put breaking news in context.

The Source has been a free publication for its 22 years. It has been free as a print version and continued that way when we began to publish online, on social media and through our newsletters.

But, as most of our readers know, times are different for local journalism. Tech giants are hoovering up small businesses and small-business advertising—which has been the staple for locally owned media. Without these resources, journalism struggles to bring coverage of community news, arts and entertainment that social media cannot deliver.

Please consider becoming a supporter of locally owned journalism through our Source Insider program. Learn more about our program’s benefits by clicking through today.

Locals, Be Tolerant of Summer Tourists

I just love Bend yearround. During the summer, let's use our signals at the roundabouts, slow down passing the visiting bike tours, please keep your dog on a leash, and please try to remember this is high fire season, so use your ashtray in your car.

I just love Bend yearround. During the summer, let's use our signals at the roundabouts, slow down passing the visiting bike tours, please keep your dog on a leash, and please try to remember this is high fire season, so use your ashtray in your car. For all the locals, remember we have two seasons here: winter we love and only 6 weeks of summer so smile, smile, smile at the tourists.

I Love Bend!

Little Bites: Thanksgiving Dinner is Served! Restaurants that will cook for you on Thursday

While many of us are going to be slaving over stoves, stuffing, brining or the always fun deep-frying our butterball turkeys this Thursday, there are options for those who don't feel like sticking their hands in the cavity of a 20-pound bird or cutting up the neck to stew some gravy. For all of you who would rather have a skilled chef prepare your fixins, here's a list of restaurants serving Thanksgiving Dinner, courtesy of Visit Bend.
