The Cornucopia restaraunt and bar. My favorite place here in Eugene, Oregon. Located on 17th and lincoln and they have their own recipe for an ale called "Frogswart" that they have had brewed for them by some of the finest regional microbrewers for the last 17 years or so. Currently brewed by oakshire brewing and it is the best it has ever been. The perfect session pale ale. Great menu, great breakfasts and cool staff. Service is always a little slow but ride it out, it is worth it. 300 or so different beers in bottles, at least 15 on tap and a HUGE wine list. Now serving liquor as well but I don't drink spirits myself so all I have sampled is the bloody mary, which was tasty ( SWMBO's favorite)
Corny started as a bottle market that had a small deli counter so you could get a sandwich and a wine/beer and eat out front on the sidewalk and grew into what it is today. It is what I would reccomend to any person visiting here from out of state as uniquely eugene. I myself enjoyed the eggs benedict right behind that guinness sign yesterday morning.
There is also a bar here called
That is decorated inside and out with old tractor parts. It think it must have been the same person who made the bike rack at corny. Looks neat, appalling welds but serviceable and unique

I've got a bunch of friends who live in Eugene. I'll have to check those locations out next time I go visit.

Or internal combustion vs pedal power.

It's been there for at least the 34 years that I've lived around here.

That is some cool stuff! I might have to check that place in Eugene out next time I make it down there, sounds good.
Did anyone else notice the piston and rod still on one of the cranks on the patio?

Ah! That's it! 34 years ago, Packard straight-8 prices were "fully depreciated"!
