Home sweet parking lot: Some hospitals welcome RV living for patients, families, and workers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:18 GMT

Jim Weaver has had two major surgeries in the past decade: one to remove cancerous tumors from his bladder and another to clear a blocked artery.Weaver, 70, knew that after he emerged from surgery, he’d want privacy. But because he and his wife drove more than 150 miles from Bend, Oregon, to Oregon Health & Science University Hospital in Portland, immediately returning home was not an option.So, the couple brought their Escape 19 camping trailer, a small but comfortable home on wheels, and parked it in one of the hospital’s 17 on-site RV parking spaces.“Leaving that hospital with the bandage, the scar, and the rest of it, there’s no way I wanted to be in a hotel,” he said. “Being able to go down and stay in the trailer there, jeez, it was so huge.”Jim Weaver (right) and his wife, Tam, drive more than 150 miles from Bend, Oregon, to Oregon Health & Science University Hospital in Portland for his medical appointments.

Pac-12 survival: Are Oregon, UW, Stanford and Cal worth the investment? Breaking down the Big Ten expansion math

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:18 GMT

The Pac-12’s existence seemingly hangs in the balance as the Big Ten considers whether to offer membership to Oregon, Washington and possibly Stanford and Cal, as well.Does the conference want to create a West Coast division?Or will it stand down and give the Pac-12 a chance to survive?Resolution of this deeply complicated issue could come swiftly, perhaps in the next 48 hours.After all, the Big Ten executed a West Coast raid last summer, grabbing USC and UCLA. The framework for a second round of plundering is seemingly in place, but only if proper motivation exists on two fronts:— Finding a media company to pay for it.— Rounding up enough university presidents to approve it.For the past year, neither entity was interested. The networks didn’t have the money, and the presidents had no interest in driving a stake in the Pac-12.But the situation changed this week, at least with one of the two entities.The Big Ten presidents signaled a willingness to consider ad...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:18 GMT

Jorge Leon is tired. He’s just landed back in the Bay Area after a trip to Los Angeles, his vocal cords fried and energy sapped from a day protesting at Dodger Stadium. Juggling work and family time with his three children, Leon has a few days to recuperate for another A’s fan protest scheduled for Saturday at the Oakland Coliseum for the first half of the Bay Bridge Series.He can’t stop. There’s no time to stop.Fans have been using the power of protest to call the sports world’s attention to what they see as an injustice. Groups such as the Oakland 68s, of which Leon is president, and Last Dive Bar have organized several “reverse boycotts” and demonstrations at opposing ballparks — the latest at Dodger Stadium — since the A’s announced their intention to uproot from their Oakland home of 55 years and relocate to Las Vegas.“I get satisfaction in that I’m being annoying to John Fisher,” Leon said. “If...

Is it all over for Anchor Brewing or does hope still remain?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:18 GMT

Sapporo USA’s decision to shut down San Francisco’s Anchor Brewing has been the talk of the beer world for weeks now. The news had been rumored, but the reality of it hit on July 12. Soon after, I had the opportunity to visit the historic brewery for a farewell tour organized by one of Anchor’s local sales reps, who invited Bay Area industry veterans for the impromptu event on Potrero Hill.A coffee roastery when it opened in 1937, the building is a majestic sight, with a corner tower topped with a flag pole reaching to the sky. Stepping inside was like going back in time. Brewing had already ceased, although there was still beer in the tanks waiting to be packaged. But the copper brewing vessels and the coolships were all empty, with only a skeleton crew on hand, making it unusually quiet as wewalked the empty corridors.While I was grateful to have a last look around and commiserate with colleagues, it was ultimately bittersweet. Steam beer has been synonymous with San F...
