There’s little digital footprint of the Secret Waffle Society, a food truck that opened on the corner of Greenwood Avenue and Bond Street earlier this year.

However, it’s hard to miss the truck with “best kept secret in Bend” emblazoned on one end while driving past the major intersection.

The food truck specializes in sweet and savory stuffed waffles, which are remarkably different than the cake-like breakfast food with a pattern of grid-like indentations. These waffles are oblong with an enclosed filling that could be described as a cross between Uncrustables and a Tw***ie.

Bend's "safe parking" program allows parking lots across the city to act as shelter sites for a few shelter units or vehicles. It’s been slow to catch on, but a recent influx of funding has allowed the expansion to new sites with more on the way, bolstering what providers and most officials believe is an effective and innovative way to reduce unsheltered homelessness.

James Michael Miller lives in a 96-square-foot wooden manufactured shelter in a parking lot in Bend. He has five neighbors with similar shelters in the same lot. But he can appreciate the privacy of having quarters to call his own after spending the past five years living in a congregate homeless sh...

Iron Mountain offers a lookout with a 360-degree view of the Central Cascades and is home to more than 300 species of flowering plants, for which the prime time to see blooms is from mid-June to mid-July. 🌼

It’s strange to come across a wooden lookout with benches and informational signs after climbing over a thousand feet to the top of a mountain. But the platform atop Iron Mountain allows visitors to safely soak in the surrounding peaks with a 360-degree view, about an hour and a half drive west fr...
