Courts of Appeal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At first glance, the Eugene Y looks to be sitting pretty. Its new Don Stathos Campus on 24th Avenue in south Eugene is packed morning till night. The old indoor tennis/pickleball center two blocks away on Patterson Street is a beehive. The Eugene Family YMCA’s finances are strong. The $50 million Don Stathos building was constructed almost entirely with donations and a large state grant. The Y has only about $2 million in debt, incurred partly for demolishing the old Y on Patterson. Hardly. An i

Read excerpt
To ensure it gets the rents and profits it wants, a Chicago developer is asking the city of Eugene to let it build an 18-foot-tall pergola/trellis and recreation area on the rooftop of the high-rise student apartment tower that it is already half-way through constructing at Alder Street and 13th Avenue.

Anchor Aweigh? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In its heyday, Skippers Seafood & Chowder House chain counted an eatery on West 11th Avenue in Eugene among its hundreds of outlets. Skippers splurged on the West 11th store, installing one of its trademark 20-foot-tall white metal anchors in the turf at the building entrance. Skippers’ fortunes then ebbed and it closed that and many other outlets. But the anchor remained even as the building was later leased to Hawaiian Time fast-food chain. The anchor is still there, an incongruous bit of comm
