WALKING: Eugene, OR- West Downtown (Public Library, Transit Station, Willamette Av...)

[@kristinesharp6286]

I was visiting Eugene Springfield last week. The roof lines so interesting as well as the colors of buildings.

[@theitwinerary]

The colors of the buildings really do add to the PNW feel, and something we appreciate as well!!

Oh man this is my city! I started watching some walking tours from Japan just a few days ago and I'm so glad your video came up on my home feed! But I appreciate yours more because of your comments. 😊

[@theitwinerary]

Hello fellow Oregonian! We are so happy you found the channel, stay awhile! Thanks so much for your comment and for watching! We appreciate the support :)

Hi! It seems like you post a lot of videos in Eugene so I'm assuming you live there or close by, I want to move there from Vancouver wa but as someone who doesn't drive I was wondering if you feel like the city is walkable and accessible for someone without a vehicle. And also if it is safe. I see a ton of people online commenting on other videos about the homeless population and drug addicts downtown and I was wondering if you've ever felt uncomfortable or threatened when walking around, especially downtown. Thanks in advance!

[@kalewelch]

I commented before watching the whole video but I see you briefly touched on it. Glad you haven't had any issues. Would you discourage walking around at night though? Thank you!

[@theitwinerary]

Hi! Eugene does have a high percentage of homeless but in my opinion if you keep to yourself they keep to themselves. If they are responsible for a crime it is most likely bicycle theft, or something like that. I have not walked around at night much so I can't say if that's safe or not... As far as walkability, I would say Eugene is very pedestrian friendly if you are in or near the University and Downtown areas. Further outside of these areas you may need to take the bus. Thanks for watching!

​@@kalewelchyou should move here

[@MovingtoEugeneOregon]

Hi Kalene! I made a couple of videos about the accessibility and unhoused population in Eugene. There's plenty of things to consider, for sure. But as someone who was born and raised here and have helped others relocate, I feel like they aren't a threat. If you're not driving, bikes are a great option too!

[@cakedoodle]

​@@kalewelchHave you been able to move to Eugene yet?

[@AngelaFlynnGrnEv]

I am surprised that I do not see any other people walking there. Did you avoid filiming them or do people not walk much in Eugene?

[@theitwinerary]

Thanks for watching! No, we have other video of the surrounding areas where people are out. This particular day just happened to be a bit quieter.

[@howiekarpe4564]

They cleaned up all the riff raff pretty much on the day..We're we expecting the Premier of China?

[@theitwinerary]

Thanks for watching!

blah blah blah. They're less of an eye sore than the endless rural towns with their entire property covered in junk and old cars.... A quick drive up to Sweet Home and you'll see all you need to see!

[@shaaaaaaaaaaa]

@@_Jake.From.Statefarm_they aren't an eye sore. They're violent and thieving.

[@shaaaaaaaaaaa]

@@_Jake.From.Statefarm_ I was attacked by one of these vagrants. Liberal policies are only making things worse.

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

@@shaaaaaaaaaaa Sure bud, sure.

My given name is Eugene and my mom was born there but ended up moving to Iow with my grandma and grandpa then to Green Bay my grandma was a truck driver in the 50s

[@JW-jn4if]

You should record the saturday market.

[@theitwinerary]

There is a Saturday Market video on our channel!!

[@kristinesharp6286]

The library is for everyone. It says so on the sign. It’s 82. They should be in air conditioner some of the day.

[@theitwinerary]

Thank you for this!

[@jcw3195]

Slick editing.

[@theitwinerary]

Literally no editing. I turned on the camera and walked. Thanks for watching.

[@CG-ud6my]

Inaccurate depiction, where’s all the bums and fiends 😂😂

[@theitwinerary]

Thank you for watching. This particular area was quiet the day we recorded and not too many people out.

[@wattsinaname6975]

Yeah, it looks like they probably chose a week where the city swept up the riff raff for an athletic event or such. Typically what liberal cities do instead of actually addressing the problem.

[@samman623]

They are on hwy 99 and on west 11th

[@Eugene-xn3dn]

I was born in De Pere, WI hits Green Bay because there are no hospital's in De Pere

[@Georgeanne17]

You walked away from downtown and this area is mid. Not an area I’d film considering there are way nicer homes and a more active downtown, which is very small.

[@theitwinerary]

Thank you for watching.

[@squirrellyscholar9859]

You're missing all the homeless people and poop everywhere

[@theitwinerary]

Not much of that in this video, and just like many other cities there are nice areas and areas that need work. Eugene is not alone in this.

[@BarbaraHarsha]

This was very boring to watch. Nothing to see really or discover anything interesting. Empty streets, empty sidewalks. Very few businesses or restaurants. “Tour guide” must have known that it’s not a particularly attractive area and didn’t even bother to explain in more detail where the heck she was walking. Not a video to entice anybody to wanna come and check out Eugene.
