Once in Medford, everyone was telling us to go to Jacksonville, Oregon to look at the historic building and all the fun things to do there. We redirected there, it was only about a 15 min drive to Jacksonville. The downtown area was very cute, we saw a farmers market type event setup at City Hall. We parked and walked over to check out all the things the different booths were selling. We saw lots of unique things there like woodcarvings, pictures & paintings and even some food and drinks. After a short time we continued driving through all the neighborhoods, enjoying the different types of old homes.

Their selection is limited, including that of the whole county, but you can't beat the price! It's free as long as you return books on time, anyway. The only annoyance I've found is that you can't renew an item if someone is on the wait list for it, so you really have to be sure you finish with it within the original borrowing period. Failure to do so possibly results in being shuffled to the end of the queue, sometimes months. Libraries in cities I've always lived in allow you the maximum renewals before requiring a book be returned for the next borrower, but what can you expect for 'free?' The only other comment is you really have to mind the various branch hours - as has become customary nationwide with many library system cutbacks - the Jacksonville branch seems closed more often than it is open. Be sure to plan ahead, and utilize the online system to reserve items from other branch locations. It will make your library card more valuable.

I hate to do it, but 2 out of 5 stars and usually I love outdoor venues :(. Kind of heartbroken…read moresince we drove down from Portland and I told my kids it's the best show ever where everyone is happy dancing and singing. Here's the issue; DON't buy a seat unless you are either comfortable standing and blocking everyone behind you, or only sitting the entire time... or the risk of your view being blocked the entire time by someone standing or dancing during the show in the seated area. At the California Honeydrops concerts just now, who I've seen a minimum of 10 times at other venues, absolutely everyone was in a seat until a few stood half way through and then others in the seated area felt upset they couldn't see and left...these are the most expensive tickets-the seated. There is no space for those with seats to stand and dance without blocking others except for the very back - up the hill of the venue all the way on the top of the lawn, where you cannot see and cannot hear the music. As for the area in front of the stage and sides off the stage are only for those who bought SRO tickets. Huge bummer, because this means the only way to dance and enjoy the shows is to get those SRO(standing room only) tickets, unless you want to be so high up you cannot see... and if you get the SRO tickets you can never sit. Again; you can choose to be one of the only people standing in the seated area and block everyone behind you from seeing and enjoying the show. We're in the front of the seating area and so many people who do not have tickets here have been caught by actual seat holders in their seats. The SRO is being patrolled but not the seated area. By patrolled I mean literally 5 people and a security guard on each side of the SRO. This particular show only it looks like it has about 70% of the seats/tickets present - but is "sold out". This is due to the AQI(fire smoke) and the early start (because of the fires). I was hoping with so many no shows and offering to pay for SRO on top of my seat I already paid for, I could get dancing space, but that was a no go too. The California Honeydrops in every other venue I've seen has been near every single person standing. The venue in Portland they play at removes all the seats so the floor is standing only, while the upper tier and balcony are for sitting. The Honeydrops crowd is a kind and loving one, where those who are less able bodied are always shown to the front of the stage standing spaces so they can see and everyone can dance... this is done by fellow concert goers. So much of the crowd being unhappy and leaving early could be prevented by allowing a usable dancing space where people can see and hear. I see from others reviews that in the past there was standing room in front of the stage and then the lawn. According to the Britt's website the capacity is 2,200 people for the venue, with 949 bench seats. The order is a fairly small standing room only zone in front of the stage, then row after row of bench seats then grass seating. There is some grass seating on the far right off the bench rows that is intended for those seated on the grass. After the SRO, then the bench seating, and grass seating at the very peak top is where non-standing room only viewers are to dance or stand. Update after the end of the show: We ended up staying to the end of the show, which ended far earlier than the Honeydrops had announced/suggested at the beginning "we're going to stay until our original ending time, or even longer if we can". The show ended up being done at 9:10pm, instead of the 10pm everyone was expecting from the show opening. I think it's likely because so many viewers left early throughout the show due to frustration about the seating situation. The extra star is because of the staff members who are friendly and kind. They'll tell you should sit or will block people(I had found a spot next to the rail on the grass blocking no one, but I was told a person had complained about an inconsiderate person in the same spot I was in, earlier in the evening blocking those with space on the grass, so I was reluctantly told I should move from the spot too, or move to the back top of the lawn, but in a friendly way :) 2026 #13

Wineries, to be competitive in Southern Oregon must also have music and some selection of food to offer their customers. These venues are not a public setting in a park where you may bring a picnic lunch and your own beverage and enjoy the music at your leisure. Wineries have to pay for the music you came to listen to which comes out of the price of a glass or bottle that you might enjoy while you're in attendance. To think that one can sit and watch a venue at a winery without at least purchasing a beverage is incredibly naive and disrespectful of a business.
