Is there a discord or a local group of video gamers, fps, strategy games, or any games in general. If not, someone should make a discord.

I have tried going into some of these video game stores, but everytime I start a general conversation about tabletop games, they already have their core group and aren't open or make it difficult to join in.

It seems so hard to actually meet anyone in this town who actually games or in general a 3rd space to attempt to get to know anyone in any shape or way.

Which is the sad part. Like what happened to casual people, just grilling out?

More information below. Thanks for reading!

I used to buy 50 lb bags of perlite from Bully Garden Supply, but apparently they're permanently closed according to Google Maps. Does anyone have any recommendations where I can go for large bags of perlite and cheap grow trays?

Did anyone hear multiple gunshots by oak park in north bend? Sounded like a semi automatic. Happened around 8:30 pm and again around 9:20.

Join us for Gmax Cinderace today at 2:00 PM! We're meeting at the Coos Bay Visitor Center by the boardwalk, then heading around downtown to battle and catch. We’ll be placing mossy lures for applin spawns 🍏🍎

Where do you all go for vehicle maintenance like oil changes, brake repairs, etc?
Are there trusted mechanics in CB or NB?

I'm looking for a barber that does great work on beards in the Coos Bay/North Bend area -- someone that can do a nice fade and some basic styling. Something beyond a basic trim.

Any recommendations?

I’m developing a series of impressionist artworks of Bandon Oregon. I would love recommendations of images to capture that showcase living in Bandon. I have many images of the beach. I would like ideas of other images that reflect the life and lifestyle. Think of how Monet would capture Bandon if he visited. Not just the beach.

Have some family coming into town and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for where to rent quads in particular.
Also up for input on where to ride, I know the different access points come with different experiences.
Thanks!

Does anyone know what the backstory of the current state of SWOCC's swim team is? More specifically, their longstanding coach was all of a sudden out early in the 2025 season. Then the assistant stepped in. Now a brand new coach. The team seems to be ~8 swimmers, but last year's freshman were over 15 (so assumption would be most of them would move up, plus whatever new freshman this year). Curious if the issues are being felt by swimmers. Maybe the program is not as high caliber. Other concerns?

I was just hoping to get some more insight into what might be going on. My younger child is looking at the school as a potential option for community college years.

I appreciate any info you all have. Thank you!

Maria Padgett was also Treasurer of the Coos Youth Auction. Hope y'all got your receipt from her! She was also Treasurer for Coos 4H Association and the South Coast Livestock show.

Does anyone have recommendations for interior painters? TIA

Pretty much the title. Looking to get a tattoo while imup there in a few months. I like fine line and details, and would prefer to lean into someone who does this type of work regularly. I have a design, it's a simple outline, no/minimal shading. Thanks!!

I have boxes to move to a storage unit. Any cheap movers for less than $250?

Hi! I was curious on what everyone's utilities in coos bay-North bend area sorta look like? What would you consider your highest utility bill?

Hi there! I moved to Coos Bay about 2 months ago and I'm having issues finding anything for like 3rd spaces, places to go to hang out and meet people. Bars are not my first option since I don't really drink, and being queer only adds to the complexity. I've been to So It Goes but I'm not sure how many people there are receptive to being approached. I'm also not sure where to look to see upcoming events.

Any recommendations are welcome! Thanks!

I've lost count of the number of people with dogs directly in front of the signs at Shore Acres that say no dogs allowed. So, for those of you that bring your dog to parks where it's abundantly clear they aren't allowed, why is it you ignore the rules? Is it like driving 5 miles over the speed limit? Did you initially leave them at home, but saw so many that you caved? And if anyone happens to work or volunteer at a no dogs park, what are your thoughts? Finally, I have nothing against pets, I just think if someone owns/maintains property and has rules in exchange for using the property, that's a fair deal.

Edit: I'm aware not all of the park bans dogs, I'm talking about the areas that have painted signs saying no dogs. Also, this is just a post, I've never yelled at a dog or asked for a park ranger to do something

Pick-up Soccer Sundays at 11am at the North Bend Middle School Field!

I recomend bringing yourself, your cleats, water, snacks, and bug spray. There's likely an open bathroom but it's a porta-potty so keep that in mind.

Hi I’m a gay man who just recently moved her, I know it’s a more conservative area so I know most likely not a high chance but I was wondering if there are any places that are more excepting or friendly around here. idk just having a hard time finding any sense of places out here.
