Grants Pass is the county seat of Josephine County, Oregon, United States. The city is located on Interstate 5, northwest of Medford, along the Rogue River.
I was born and raised in Grants Pass, Graduated from GPHS in 1973. Moved to Roseburg at the age of 18. Does not look like the town changed much, but I bet the surounding area has, Millies sandwich shop had changed hands a few times, the last time I stopped there was about 6 years ago and the sandwiches were not fit to eat, the joint was dirty, only thing still good was the bread. Piggly Wiggly is now an appliance store, and I see a Wallmart and a few other restaurants. Plan on a summer motorcycle trip there and spend a few days. Wish Millies was still like it use to be.
I was really hoping you were going to turn onto G Street downtown. That's where everyone goes to walk around, shop, eat and go to the Farmer's Market on Saturdays. Oh well. One of the most beautiful drives. Strange choice to end however, in a Freddy's parking lot 😀. Thanks!
its an ok place to live but beware of :alot of summer fires(causes red suns and smokey air and difficult vision), alot of homeless people, weirdos walking in the streets, racist people,homophobic people, car crashes, you usually hear sirens every week or even everyday
As someone in California who has seen our towns completely taken over by the drug addicted homeless street dwellers I am so glad to see Grants Pass try to keep the city cleaned up from this issue that destroys the quality of life for the working, tax paying citizens. Neighborhoods in Portland have become so bad the property values have been cut in half in many areas and the people still can’t find buyers. Sick of the bleeding heart liberals defending the destruction of our communities. The ninth circuit court ruled that you cannot remove the homeless camps off of public spaces in most cases and Grants Pass challenged this ruling all the way up to the Supreme Court. The court just ruled that cities can clean up these camps off of public property so now city officials can no longer use the excuse that their hands are tied when dealing with this issue.
