The owner of Jim's Ice Cream has set up a GoFund Me. Link is at the bottom of this article from the Herald.

I want to disclose that I have a very severe allergy to whey in dairy products and am celiac. I went to Blue dragon a food cart at Hillsboro Station on 3rd that didn't trigger me at all. i often have to eat vegan and gluten free foods so I don't get sick and it makes me really excited when I see a place that fits my dietary needs as I am so limited going out to eat. I don't know any place in town that is solely vegan/vegetarian except in Portland. Does anyone have any recommendations of a places in Hillsboro that are vegan with gluten free offerings? This is the first time I have had no repercussions from a vegan place that also serves seitan. I have gone a couple of times now just for coffee and a cookie.

Unfortunately on Thanksgiving Day, There was a serious car crash that crashed into a Jim’s Ice Cream. Parts of the Building were destroyed. It’s more then a Window Damage, it’s also a Door, Wall & particular Ceiling. They send 2 people to the hospital. No one was inside the Ice Cream Shop. We are not open on that Holidays. It’s going to take lots of time to get the building repaired. It may not reopen until 2025.

All of the family was safe on Thanksgiving, it’s not fun that the owner will have to clean up the mess.

Also back in time when it used to be Baskin Ribbons.

I’m a new transplant so I’m not sure where to find this. Do any farms around here can their berries during the season and sell them in the fall? Back where I’m from this is very common, but I’m having trouble finding a place. I’m trying to find supplies for pie. Sour cherries would be ideal.

Thank you!

Anyone know of any like major events or places to meet other people in the city? Or any sites that have events posted on them? I'd like to make friends here so if anyone like knows stuff that would be cool.

I've been leaving my window open to reduce the humidity in my bedroom and the street racing loud car exhausts are insanely loud when the windows aren't closed, does everyone just accept it and sleep with them closed?

Hi Everyone,

Is there a evening/late evening place that’s good for studying for 2-3 hours? Possibly start at 7pm.

Im having the worst time trying to study at home. Too many distractions with a baby and pets at home.

So I’m looking for a coffee shop or a place I can just chill and study for up to 3 hours, most likely just 1.5 to 2 hours. Of course I’m fully prepared to buy multiple items from the place.

Thanks 😊

Howdy! Looking to see if there are any dart players out there. I just picked up a board not too long ago so I've been itching to play with other people. I've been playing for a few years now. Wondering if there is any interest in a meetup somewhere!

I am itching to start next year's herb seedlings. When do you usually start yours?

I'm considering a move to one of the houses on Duncan drive behind the Home depot. Can anyone comment on whether there is an issue with smell from the dump in that area?

Sounds like the City of Hillsboro has another fish on the hook for the Block 67 property in old downtown. Been 10 years since they bought the land. With interest that land is now closing in on 1.2 million per acre. Three other attempts failed. This was the last plan. Too bad that ship sailed. Maybe something will finally go in there. Any thoughts?

There will be Market of Choice, Shake Shack, Hop n Drops, Wells Fargo Bank, Cinnamon, Jamba Juice, Mike & Jerseys & more Businesses

Good morning, I’m thinking about making some pesto this weekend, does anyone know of a good source for bulk basil? Buying a bunch of the little clamshell packs at the grocery just isn’t practical

Thanks in advance

We recently had a baby after a rough pregnancy, so the past year was pretty low-key for us. Now that our little one is at the stage where we can leave him at home for a couple of hours, we’re eager to get back out there!

We’re looking for fun places to eat or things to do near South Hillsboro that don’t take more than 2-3 hours. Lately, we’ve been loving the Hillsboro downtown food carts and the ones by Regal Cinemas on TV. Any recommendations for good cocktail spots or fun bars? We’d also love ideas for activities (we already have the pinball place on our list!). Thank you!!!

Anybody have a few suggestions for good fish and chips in Hillsboro?

Hi everyone

I recently moved from NJ to Oregon and wondering what are the steps involved to get my car registered here. Do DmV entertain walk-ins for these type of request or need to make an appointment ? Seems it’s gonna be pretty expensive trip either way

Our baby arrives early next year and we’re planning to put them in daycare starting Dec 2025.

I know this may have been asked before: I thought I’d get the latest recommendations for day care in the Hillsboro area and any reviews on the ones I’ve listed below.

Here’s a list I’ve come up with so far. Still looking into more options. Most of them are priced average around $2000. I’d like to be near the Tanasbourne area, that’s where I will be for work during the day.

• Prim Rose: Imbrie Drive

• Le Petite Academy: Elam Young Parkway

• KinderCare: Hillsboro Knowledge Beginnings (Evergreen/Corn Pass)

• KLA schools: Costco Hillsboro

• Touchstone: Corn Pass

• Atlas Immersion Academy(Tanasbourne)

Edit:

• Goddard School , Elam Young Parkway

Any suggestions for a fun place to have our company holiday party? We’re an active group and enjoy activities, eating, and drinking. Probably 20ish people plus spouses will attend. What I’ve come up with so far: K1, pinball arcade, axe throwing. Would love your thoughts/ideas.

I'm so curious because the trail stops at Beaverton Creek but continues right on the other side. Would be perfect for getting to and from the Quatama MAX station and South Hillsboro.

Just curious if anyone else's ballots have gone missing? Weirdly all 3 ballots in my household did not show up. Online says they were mailed October 16th x2 and October 17th x1.

Wondering if this is just us lol

Editing to add I've already fixed this and voted lol I am just wondering who else this happened to since I think it is odd all 3 ballots went missing. Just curious yall!

Hi,

I'm a recent college grad and I am hoping to live in a 1 bed 1 bath apartment, but I'm finding I have no idea how much utilities would cost in Hillsboro/Beaverton. I could afford a lot of the base rents, but with the added cost of utilities I would only be able to afford some of the apartments.

What is the average cost of utilities that you guys pay for an apartment? Does anyone have any tips for someone with no experience living without roommates? I'm struggling to budget without knowing my expenses.

Thanks!

New to the area and apparently Comcast won’t allow us to use my owned modem/router there (though they do allow it in Salem). So I’m looking into Ziply, but I don’t see how to pair that with cable tv service. I only stream, no cable box, but I do watch some stuff on Xfinity, so I’d prefer to keep their streaming tv service.

Does anyone with Ziply know how those two tie in?

EDIT to clarify: I’m totally not opposed to using Ziply or Hilight for internet. My question I guess is how, it can I even, still stream Xfinity for my tv programming? I can’t seem to find a definitive answer anywhere.

Hi all! I'm currently visiting Hillsboro and flying back home Sunday. I saw on the weather report that's currently snowing in Mount hood, is it possible or can someone recommend a nice hike in the snow somewhere? We don't have much snow at home and I absolutely love it so would like to experience it before flying home again. Thanks in advance!!

Man, I gotta tell you all... This is such a great little town. We went out trick or treating last night wit my 6-year old and I swear everyone was just so nice. Everyone who opened their door was kind and smiling. No one was doing nasty things to scare kids. We left a big bucket of candy out on our porch when we left, and it was only about half gone when we got back. Everywhere I went, I heard kids being nice to each other and not acting stupid. In the last city I lived in, it was full of teenagers acting like jerks, pumpkins getting smashed, gun shots, etc. I read so much terrible nonsense on here about this town, and all I can think is how lucky I am to be raising my family here. We have great parks, sports, good schools, good neighborhoods, all the shopping I'd ever want, clean streets, etc etc. Just wanted to throw a little gratitude this morning about what a great little place we live in.

Anyone know of any busses that take you to the Coast? What was your experience like if you rode it?

I know there's a Tillamook that stops at 185th but didn't know if there were others.

Does anyone know of a close(or not close, I'll take what I can get!) by neighborhood that would be good for a first time trick or treater? Im taking my 4 year old nephew out on Thursday probably between 4 and 7 and really want him to have a fun experience with lots of decorations and other kids. We are a few blocks north of downtown main street so it's a great neighborhood to walk around but there aren't a lot of houses with decorations and am afraid that it won't be as magical as it should be. Where the magic at!!

Now that Sheri's is closed, where are you getting your holiday pies? Safeway is not cutting it.

I would like to find a ballot drop box where I can walk into somewhere. Does one exist? I used to go to the Beaverton library. Is there one in Hillsboro someplace?
