Junction City? (Eugene, Veneta: house, schools, moving)

[The Dish]

Hello from Eugene.

We are moving here and are checking it out.

Can anyone tell me about Junction City?

We've checked out Veneta and Santa Clara and are now wondering about Junction City.

Thank you!

There's not much to say about Junction City. What you see is what you get. It's a rural community north of Eugene, on the junction of 99E and 99W. They have a Scandinavian festival. Logging used to be big, but not any more. There are also some pretty prosperous farms in the surrounding area. Much of what shows up in the Eugene Farmers Market comes from Junction City.

JC is more than what you see you get! It's a great place to live and the schools are good people are nice and the local store owners are very out going and helpful! You dont find kindness that often and JC has alot to offer to people.

Amen to that, Big Mamma!

We bought a house there and are just waiting for ours to sell. We can't wait to move to JC! We went to the Scandi last weekend and had a blast.

What a great town -- great people -- really good swedish meatballs!
