Southern Oregon is BEAUTIFUL! - 3/10/2017
I have lived in Southern Oregon, outside of Grants Pass for twenty years. It is gorgeous, especially the surrounding towns---Wolf Creek and Sunny Valley a bedroom towns in the lush mountains and only 20 minutes from GP, with all the shopping and activities you could want in a small, clean, friendly town. I especially like small town living and the grade school, Sunny Wolf Charter School. in Wolf Creek is rated the highest possible, 5, by the state. The school is small, has wonderful staff and my daughter learned 7th grade stuff in 5th grade. Wolf Creek and Sunny Valley have everything you could need in a pinch...with gas and general stores. It's private and you are literally surrounded by trees in Wolf Creek. In all the years we've lived in Wolf Creek, we have never once been burglarized or anything negative. Small town living in southern Oregon is the best! Read More

No Justice - 9/16/2014
As corrupt as people can be, Grants Pass is by far the most deceitful city all of Oregon. If the courts or political parties don't know you, you will go to jail for a misdemeanor or infractions no matter what until you can post bail. The law is only there to serve it self. Unless fresh faces from outreach communities get elected into prime seats of the offices of Grants Pass there is going to be no end to the corruption that is Grants Read More

Fresh Air - 4/8/2012
The place is still small enough you can be known by a lot of people. There lots of things to do. Booting, fishing, skying, hunting and a lot more. One thing, when you wake in the morning you will experience a fresh clean and crisp ready to go, feeling every day. Its the Read More

Abundance of culture for a small city - 10/8/2011
You will be surprised by the variety of cultural opportunities in Grants Pass. Last weekend (Oct 1) the annual Art Along the Rogue was held. This chalk art festival brings in professionals from the local area as well as the world. Incredible work. We have one of the oldest small theaters in Oregon as well as summer musical theater as well as several other theater groups. We have numerous private art galleries as well as an excellent art museum in the center of downtown. You can find something every weekend.  Read More

Its not your Great Little City anymore... - 8/14/2010
I have lived in Grants Pass for 30 yrs and have watched it grow in population rapidly. It used to be a quaint little town where people seemed happy and outgoing. Now people appear to be rude and aggressive. On the roads especially, they will cut you off and run you over! The town tries hard to keep up and maintain the beauty. But the drug addicts (METH)look like they are taking over. I have a 14 yr old son and just hope he stays in sports and keeps his nose clean of all the drugs around Read More

Tough place to be in this economy - 2/2/2010
I've lived in Grants Pass for many years and it has a lot of great points. The climate is moderate but you certainly get all four seasons. Lots of outdoor activities. Some cultural activites near by. But, the economy here is terrible. High un-employement and pay scales that have not kept pace with the cost of living make this a difficult place to raise a family. We have a large retired population here and this seems to be a good place for them, just difficult for the working Read More

An Amazing town - 4/2/2009
Grants Pass is a mid-sized town full of charm settled in a valley surrounded by beautiful hills on the banks of the Rogue River. I cannot say enough about this interesting, fun town filled with friendly people. They have worked very hard on the downtown, recreating it as it was long ago, even down to the street lights. The downtown has several fun antique shopes, and decorated fire hydrants, and for awhile each year, artists design and creatively paint life-sized bears that decorate the town. The town has a beautiful city park on the river, with a great play area, and room for sports. Don't miss Hellgate Jetboats, they are an exciting way to spend an afternoon! And Amazing May is a month filled with fun activities, from the hot air balloon festival, to the Native American Pow Wow, to an old car ralley, to the grand finale- Boatnik on Memorial Day week-end, where you will appreciate the beautiful ceremony in honor of out lost loved ones who fought for our country, and thrill to Read More
