​Curious about Oakridge? Have you wondered about the story behind a local event or person or
been curious about something you’ve heard or seen locally? We will be uncovering the unexpected
(where did this come from?), researching the enigmatic (why was this given this name?), and
following up the unusual (never seen anything else like that round here!). If you have questions to
ask or stories to tell, we will be recording some of the peculiarities and surprises of our local area.​
