A note from Tyler
Oregon has always been home.
I was born and raised here, and I created That Oregon Life to share the places and stories that make this state feel like home.
I spend a lot of time on Oregon roads, trails, beaches, and back streets looking for the kind of places you want to tell a friend about. This newsletter is where I send the best of what we find.
Sometimes that means a perfect weekend drive. Sometimes it is a little restaurant you would never spot from the highway. Sometimes it is a piece of Oregon history that makes you look at a familiar place differently.
If you love Oregon, or simply want to know it better, I think you will feel at home here.
See you out there,Tyler
