Eugene is a city of the Pacific Northwest located in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is located at the south end of the Willamette Valley, near the confluence of the McKenzie and Willamette rivers, about 50 miles (80 km) east of the Oregon Coast.[7]
As of the 2010 census, Eugene had a population of 156,185; It is the third most populous city in the state (after Portland and Salem) and the county seat of Lane County.[8][9] The Eugene-Springfield, Oregon metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is the 146th largest metropolitan statistical area in the U.S., and the third-largest in the state, behind the Portland Metropolitan Area and the Salem Metropolitan Area.[10] The city's population for 2014 was estimated to be 160,561 by the U.S. Census.[11]

Eugene's official slogan is "A Great City for the Arts and Outdoors".[14] It is also referred to as the "Emerald City", and as "Track Town, USA".[15] The Nike corporation had its beginnings in Eugene.[16] In 2021, the city will host the 18th Track and Field World Championships.[17]

I stopped into Eugene about 43 years ago to visit some old friends from Madison, Wisconsin who had moved here. I wasn't planning on moving here, but within 24 hours I was offered a good job. Four years later I went back to Madison to get my stuff. I've moved away from Eugene 3 times, but never managed to stay away for more than a year. After the last time I left, 25 years ago, I realized Eugene was probably the best spot on the planet for me to call home. I will never move away from here again. You can actually go to a store in the morning and buy some pot, then go snow boarding in the Cascades for a couple of hours, and then drive to the coast and go surfing if you feel like it.
Too much pot is bad for u, pumpkin
I went here once on the way home to California from Portland. I was here an hour or so, and I've never felt more at home in an environment like this. I've been wanting to return to Eugene for almost two years now.
Nice profile picture
I moved from Eugene to Denver back in July of 2015, and simply watched this to get nostalgic. Mission accomplished.
Glad you liked it! Denver is a great place to be!
Remembering the time when I was in Eugene long time ago, I sometimes dream I am walking the streets of the city.
The best two years of my life. Life at UO was simply amazing. Thank u for posting this video. It’s a reminder that even tho it’s a small town, the feeling u get when ur there is incomparable. Want to go back to this beautiful time so damn bad.
I lived there for five years. It haven't been back since 2002. Watching this was a nostalgic rush. Thank you!
did that for san antonio texas. I haven't been there since 2009 and was happy to see it wasnt much different
It was funny to see my parked car as you drove bye !
Cindy Smith can you send me a voicemail from Christie can you do that cool thanks

this town looks so calm and unique ,i like it
Can confirm. Eugene is a beautiful place to live.
Until you get molested by the out of control panhandlers that think it’s ok to urinate and defecate all over downtown. To be honest though, other than that, Eugene is a nice place.
J Utah vids r super.No commentary ,no irritating music. U feel as if u r driving around.
Thanks for doing this video! I lived in Eugene for 6 years and it's changed since I moved away. Still have a soft spot in my heart for Eugene.
I really enjoyed and appreciated all what you've been experiencing and thank you for sharing
Thank you for your drive through Eugene was so nice Christmas present for myself I love OREGON.
Thats great! Merry Christmas Barbara :)
Looks like a pretty nice city to me and I like how respectful all of the drivers are. They actually use their turn signals got to like that!
I've lived in Iceland my whole live but I've always wanted to move to Eugene and I still plan to, such a beautiful small and quiet city yet so much to do with beautiful landscape and wildlife
Greetings from the US! Hope you get to move :)
itsok dontbesad I was born raised and still live in Eugene. It rains a lot but everything is green and gorgeous
itsok dontbesad legal weed too if you're into that kind of thing
So many tweakers
@@Dylno28
Thank you so much for such a great video, virtually I was there. Lucky for you
Love this comment! Amazing what the internet has done for us all. Cheers :)
Oh, yeah. But you’re the best that thought do take this video! Thanks a lot! Luckies for you!
Thank you for sharing this video. I am planning to move next summer.
It's amazing how a city like Eugene can look so beautiful on camera.
I know. It is relaxing to have someone else do the drive.
Can't wait till Sept. Coming Home!!! Been away for 20 years. In SW at the moment. But Eugene is home and I'm like a kid at Christmas waiting to come back. Miss the Duck games. Miss the bike trails. Miss the Willamette river. Miss everything.
"Animal House" and "Stand by Me" filmed in Eugene, OR.
gigantopithecus100
Famous diner scene in "Five easy pieces " at the Dennys restaurant just outside of Eugene.
Not stand by me. It was fined in Brownsville
Many parts of AH were filmed in Eugene and the surrounding area. SBM was mostly filmed in the surrounding area.
it brings back my sweet memory in eugene. i lived there in 1983-1988....studied in u of o...thanks for this video....greeting from indonesia
enjoyable atmosphere, thank you for the video
so awe inspiring s colorful trees on roadside same like steets of tokyo
Enjoying your super video 👌❤️ serene
seemed like the weather will urge your coffee and smoking habit. wow.
Looks like a winning place to be.and a beautiful city cool to live there .lucky you. Be safe.
Beside watching buildings and street situation I also look at some brand of cars who are used by people in US.
Thanks for the feedback!
Cool name Triyono, where are you from ?
amazing city, I like it from the first time when I saw :)
Beautiful, clean, infrastructure!
I like how green the city is. So plush. Reminds me of my home town Niagara Falls NY but with hill and mountains. Could you imagine if Niagara Falls had mountains!? Good lord
People who think Eugene has a severe homeless problem are lucky to have never experienced the horror show that is LA.
I could imagine, but Eugene is a town not a city. Probably see more stuff in a small town. I don't know, maybe not.
Yeah man I agree I drove in downtown LA once and saw worse than I’ve ever seen in Eugene after 13 years
I love this video
To your right @ 17:15 is VooDoo Donuts . Best, craziest donuts on the Planet ! ! !
Hey bRad, thanks for the killer tip Bruh ! ! ! You seem like a really cool dude my man ! ! !
bRad Nichols I thought your name was Rad Nachos for a sec and now I'm highly disappointed.
Secret about Eugene. The traffic lights going east to west are timed at 27 mph. If you go exactly 27 miles per hour, you will hit each on green for blocks.
I grew up in Bend with relatives in eugene. I moved to Eugene when I was 23 years old. I left at 25. And now we're going back. I don't think I'll ever leave again.
Considering moving here.
+Talking Kitty Cat Me too.
Eugene is ghetto ? Eugene is one of the most highly educated per capita than ANY OTHER CITY and you are going to call us ghetto ?
u must be from jupiter coz i dont see anythin in this video which suggests eugene is ghetto
Tomahawk1999 i lived in eugene for 10 years and I still visit a lot. On every street corner their is a homeless person. The poverty is crazy.
Ireland Ellis
well poverty is not the same thing as Ghetto. Ghetto generally implies not just large scale poverty but also and more importantly large congregation of people who engage in outright criminal or socially unacceptable questionable behavior
Excellent video. Nice lookinmg town. Planning to visit there in a couple of months. Can anyone recommend a good old fashioned Breakfast American diner in that town? You know,the Biscuits and Gravy type?
thanks for sharing
I loved Oregon, I think it will be one of the first places I have to meet... nice bro! (Y)
Unique area in the USA! I hope to visit again soon. Beautiful coastlines :)
@@jutah Do you have very retired? Where do you live?
Thank u for the lovely tour of downtown.
A lot of changes in Eugene over the decades. One thing that looks the same is the Greyhound Bus Terminal. The outside looks exactly the same as it did 60 years ago.
nice quality
J Utah, can you tell me what model of dashcam you use? The quality is amazing!
I grew up in Eugene. Went to south Eugene high. Lived just off west 11th
i've always wanted to drive through eugene, or. for that, i will have to get a license and then actually come to eugene. see you there.
here, in africa. roads are jump wth cars and people. i wonder the calmness and emptiness of the roads.
Bashir Hussein it’s amazing man, you can actually ride a bicycle in the street or skateboard in the street and feel safe
More people less roads
@@griffcoleman my wish is going there! it is always in dream.
Really miss that place
I was born and raised in Eugene. I still live in Eugene I always will.
supreme god leader great Pepe the Frog you should try living in other places. It'll broaden your horizons. Eugene can be a great place to live but there are several things that aren't good about it. Sure, there are ups and downs to every place you can live but Eugene's charm got lost on me pretty quickly. Property taxes and housing costs are outrageous. Multiple bums on every street corner are also not appealing. Not to mention the 6+ months of cloudy weather can turn some people off.
Its ok...Some people just can't handle rain I guess. you must not be from Oregon
supreme god leader great Pepe the Frog well it doesn't personally bother me as much as the other things I mentioned. It does suck not being able to play with your kids outside for half the year without getting soaked because of the near constant rain. Also for people with depression, not having direct sunlight for so long has a really negative impact on their life. One more thing: the BBQ in Eugene is below average compared to Texas' BBQ and Cajun food is non existent.
Praise KEK
A wild neckbeard appears 3:58 complete with punisher shirt and fedora. oh wow.
Going to Eugene in a few months to live with a host family for a year. I am so excited!
Well that´s spicy
Just seeing your message. It's a year! Updates? How was it??
how was your experience?
I legit saw my car in your video 7:36
jingle.. jangle... jingle.. jangle LMAO LMAO 2:13
Is it always raining here in eugene?
So much of this video looks like a dozen neighborhoods in Vancouver, BC.
Hey i have one question URGENT!! @ J Utah When did you take this video? In January? Winter?
Judging from the color on the trees I would say late November.
Watching to see if my ass shows up
lol
It seems very small and quiet.
I like small city 👍
this January 2016?
ahhh good old kazier square
Steve Prefontaine!
Isn't there a video showing the bars and clubs downtown, maybe the venues where Bands and Artists play ?
Shane Wreck dude there’s awesome bars and venues in Eugene. Come see
@@griffcoleman Bitchin ! 😃🤘
Eugene is the best !
yes it's
At what?
rate these towns you've visited seattle/san diego/denver/ 1-3
I've never been so convinced that I'm meant to be/live somewhere I've never been.
If you were to drive this same route through town today, on a warm dry day, you would see hundreds of 20-something panhandling bums everywhere. It really is that bad.
I did loveee to move to Eugene if it wasnt for all the dang rain
Rain is a Blessing but no you need to bitch ?
you do realize Eugene is as beautiful as it *because* of the rain, right?
Yes, I love the rain! I love cloudy and overcast days.
If u don't like rainy days or gloomy weather do not move to states like Oregon, Washington, etc. But don't say it just sucks because of the weather because one: many people love the weather like that.
two: other states have incredible amount of intense heat from the sun and that's even worse.
It’s cloudy in winter but the temps are mild, usually in the 40’s, 50,s. Summer is hot and dry temps in the 80’s, 90’s.
What is the name of the church seen at 8:37? Is it catholic? I believe that it is St Mary's Church, is that right? I guess I have answered my question 😜.
Is it autumn or winter?
Yes.
Why the traffic lights hanging on a cable
could't afford the levitating one..I guess?
@@mitch.parlette they have those kind of traffic lights in Florida as well
Eh looks like downtown Sacramento... Where i live.
So many homeless. Why is it not addressed in Oregon.
Toyota1949 it is addressed, they encourage more to move in by not doing anything to the ones that do illegal crap and by having free needle exchanges.
@@biohazard_613 so all the homeless in Portland and Eugene (which I've read) is because they are all druggies right? Does it affect the rest of the community? Why isn't the state government take all the homeless away to a rehab camp or something? Or they actually want it that way?
Aeon my knowledge about Portland and its issues is about none because I avoid Portland like the plague. I only know what I’ve seen on TV and read in the papers and online. I won’t speculate on their issues. I’ve worked with the homeless in Eugene in the past, 1997-2013. They’re not all addicts. Does it affect the rest of the community? Yes. State government is the biggest cause of our chronic homeless issue. We used to have sanitariums where people could get help. They shut down most of them. Do they actually want it that way? In some ways, no. In others, yes. I can get more specific if you’d like.
To summarize my personal views on this topic, the homeless themselves are not our problem here(with a few individual exceptions), our local governments response to the issue is.
Can anyone explain why there are so many homeless people in Eugene? I was genuinely alarmed at the staggering homeless population and now understand why Eugene has an unusually high amount of bike thefts.
Oregon Pacifist it has the highest bike theft rate in the world
Oregon Pacifist I think it is the weather, relative wealth and the easy going attitude.
Political party just like in any other blue liberal state. That or just drugs.
I wss born and raised there. I haven't been there in 22 years, but I know when I was a kid there, in the late 80s and early 90s, a lot of the bike thieves were 2weekers from surrounding areas like Springfield, RiverRoad/ Santa Clara, Bethel Danebo, and wherever they crawled out from the woodwork! Too much cold rain, Oct. to June! Never have been back. Summer was the funnest time! I mean in Oregon.
i want to move here. is it hard finding jobs?
No it's not..but the winters are cold asf in Eugene Oregon..
+Bobby Games. im used to it, we have some harsh ones in chicago
Hey I’m moving from Chicago to Oregon trynna go on a date lol
How much is rent there for a 2 bed apartment?
900 a month plus utility. for a low end housing is not cheap.
Pricey compare to other states like Utah and Idaho
+David McDonald You can find rental more in the 600 to 700 range a month. but if you literally want to be downtown like you showed in your video. yes you are gonna pay 900 up to 1200. Its because the city has revamped down town. A lot of the college kids, bus system, library, and small businesses are surrounding the area. But witin 3 to 5 blocks over you could find cheaper rent. #eugeneisagreatcity
+KEPW Radio cool thanks. I currently live in Long Beach and rent here is about $1200 for a so so neighborhood. Rent here is getting higher and higher each year I know eventually we are going to have to move.
Don't come here we don't want/need out of towners we have a strong local economy and we do with our own on our own here. stay out. you guys kinda messed up the water situation there, and i feel like we don't need that here.
Sean
Prices have soared in Eugene and meth/heroin ' addicts breaking into homes, destroying everything. This video is not representative of the drug and strange people covering the streets. There is no place to rent and definitely no place to buy a house. The park bathrooms are closed 24 hours a day due to lack of officials and drug overdosing in the pubic restrooms. I want to move away.
I'm interested in moving here but I'm a black man so...
You're welcome in Eugene 24/7. It's a great city for togetherness. I've never seen one instance of discrimination or racial animosity.
Hi
The red Lights are YeLLow & Driver should CaLL Out the Street names!!!*
Why does this city look so moist?
Because it rains all the f'ing time
Why do you drive so slow???
Matthew Groza everywhere he’s driving is either a 20 or 25 mph zone.
Pagrator Tersot Agreed. Smoke a bowl, grab a Ninkasi, head up to Skinners Butte and watch the rat race from above.
I like to see some nice N hoods. There. it's the running capital of America I heard.bicying is great to.
Whenever I've visited Oregon including Eugene, I'm in shock how many homeless there are. Yet in this video I don't think I saw a one. I didn't see any buses either, which I usually see on Eugene streets. I do like Eugene though, but I admit it's homelessness, and Politics do not benefit hard working residents. High income and property tax fund that state. Meaning with the high % of welfare recipients in the state. The worker and homeowner is forced to take care, of many that don't contribute.
Hello, can you elaborate on it? Thank you.
saw a few good homes in eugene oregon. I live in California so the homes here are pricey.
And it is 30 fucking degrees in california for fuck sake save us all.
lol i heard many are moving to oregon. Could be a problem one day if i do move there
Doesn't look exciting here.
I was told this was a nice place to live but my question are there any black people or people of color there?? Didn't see any in the video.
Actually, there are a lot Asians in Washington. Also, there are a lot of Gays and Liberals in Oregon, and the laws are very socialistic, so be careful.
Atypical Lavender the fuck...
PEOPLELOVEGROOVYJ I don't think he meant it in a negative way... unlike catsintexas.
Atypical Lavender theres a heavy asain population because of the university and alot of Hispanics some blacks as well alot of whites
@@cashchristian5413 oregon and washington have plenty of diversity.
So many homeless
Lucky. Antifa didn't stop your car .
I have decided after reading the posts below, that it is wise NOT to move to Oregon. On research on Internet, Eugene does have ghettos and has a high rate of poor and homeless. BUT, it also has a good high intelligence rate and education. It is a beautiful place to live and do things outdoors, BUT....it is very liberal. Also, is expensive, but not nearly as much as Virginia and parts of Maryland and New York. You would have to find a good paying job. Idaho and Eastern Washington state, would be better.
Assuming you are a white male, how would it being liberal even affect your daily life personally? I understand when it's the opposite (race minorities or gays scared or worried about conservative areas possibly being racist or phobic) but I was not aware that conservative dudes could also be scared of liberal areas.
Genuinely wondering
catsintexas I live in a city in eastern Washington, we have a ton of homeless people and druggies, and we have ghetto areas here, too. Also, if you're moving here because of political reasons, you'll be disappointed to find that there are lots of anti-trump people here. If you're considering eastern Washington, consider wisely.
