well, something like 50 restaurants closed at the beginning of the recession...construction ground to a crawl...not the Bend you remember, I am sure. Still plenty of life left, though.
I run my 58 Willys wagon between Eugene and Sisters/Bend about once a month when the roads are clear.
My wife's aunt and uncle live just outside Bend. She had not visited them in years when we went there about 4 years ago. She said the city really grew outward. Prob not the way you remember it either.
I used to go to bachelor a lot because we had a house in sunriver but work has just gotten a hold of me but I remember snowboarding at bachelor and all my memories of it are exceptional
