PORTLAND, Ore. () — Following a , RingSide Steakhouse is nearly back in business.
The restaurant on 2165 W Burnside St. has announced it will reopen its doors to the public on Monday, Aug. 4 from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. A blaze that spread through the kitchen in April forced the steakhouse to temporarily close for repairs and restoration.

According to a statement, the post-fire damage caused RingSide to update some 'behind the scenes' aspects of the business — but 'everything guests know and love' has been preserved.
'Guests will find the experience largely unchanged, just as warm, familiar, and timeless as ever,' the steakhouse said. 'The Peterson family made it a priority to maintain the spirit, look, and experience that generations of Portlanders have come to treasure.'
In honor of its return, the restaurant is offering its beloved three-course Monday Prime Rib Special featuring mixed green salad, prime rib with horseradish and Yorkshire pudding, and crème brûlée for $57.
In addition, RingSide's popular French-fried onion rings will remain on the menu. The steakhouse is also offering new fishes like miso-glazed octopus, hamachi crudo and pan-seared glory bay salmon.

B.C. couple behind popular, off-roading YouTube channel die in crash

A Nanaimo, B.C., couple, who amassed a worldwide following through their YouTube channel documenting their off-road adventures, have died in an accident in the B.C. Interior. Stacey Tourout and Matthew Yeomans ran Toyota World Runners, a channel with 200,000 subscribers, showcasing off-road trips through B.C. and the world. The couple also ran a blog documenting their extensive car and RV retrofits, as well as their extensive travels throughout North and South America. News of their death, which occurred Aug. 7, was announced on social media by friends and family, and the incident was confirmed by Kaslo Search and Rescue (SAR), who attended near Trout Lake in the West Kootenay Tourout, Stacey's mother, posted on social media that the couple had succumbed to their injuries after an offroad accident in the mountains of B.C. "that they loved so much." "They are together forever as we knew they would always be," the post read. Another off-road YouTuber, The Story Till Now, was among the many online who expressed grief over the couple's death. "They were so young and full of life, so talented, and this is a huge loss for our off-road community, their friends and family, and the world," reads a post from the channel on social media. SAR advises caution Mark Jennings-Bates, a manager with Kaslo SAR, said rescuers were called to an off-road motor vehicle incident around 7:30 p.m. local time on Aug. 7. "So it was on a forestry road, somewhere in the mountains, and quite a long ways north in the valley up towards Trout Lake, the village of Trout Lake." Jennings-Bates said that rescuers had a very accurate location for where the accident occurred. "Our teams were able to get to them efficiently. It's a long journey, but they got there efficiently," he said. "So that was very, very helpful. "And of course that means that the helicopter pilot could also fly straight to the destination with confidence that he was going to find them." When rescuers got to the scene, Jennings-Bates said that one of the people in the vehicle had no vital signs, and the other one was taken to hospital, where they later died. Jennings-Bates said he didn't know if the couple was filming at the time of the accident, nor did he know the exact cause of the accident, but said it is suspected to have been caused by a loss of control on rough terrain. The rescuer urged anyone going into mountainous regions to be prepared in the event of an accident, particularly as rescuers may need extra time to get there. "You're not on a highway, you don't need to wear a seat belt, but it's always good to use the safety devices that are built into the equipment to help protect you as well," he added.

Two blind women left as only people on flight after other passengers rebooked onto earlier journey

Two blind women are calling for accessibility improvements after boarding a delayed Southwest flight, only to find they were the only two on it while all other passengers were rebooked for an earlier departure. Sherri Brun and Camille Tate had booked seats together on Southwest flight 2637 departing from New Orleans to Orlando on 14 July. After a five-hour delay, the two friends finally took off, but found that they were the only two passengers on board for the almost two-hour journey. Speaking to Orlando news station FOX 35, Brun and Tate explained that they had waited by their assigned gate, checking the Southwest app for updates. Meanwhile, unknown to them, nearly all other passengers had been rebooked on a separate Southwest flight to Orlando that was due to depart earlier than the delayed trip. This new flight had departed from a nearby gate, while Ms Brun and Ms Tate continued to wait at their gate for the delayed journey. "Nobody said a word to us about another flight," Ms Brun told the local station. "We were just waiting at the gate, checking the app, like everyone else." Ms Tate called on the airline for 'some improvement in how they communicate with their passengers, especially those that have disabilities.' Mrs Brun claimed that they were both told: "You're the only two people on this flight because they forgot about you.' However, Southwest says that reports that it 'forgot' the women are inaccurate. 'Many of the customers on that flight were accommodated on another MCO-bound flight that left a little earlier from a nearby gate,' an airline spokesperson told The Independent. 'We attempted to locate the two customers, but were unable to find them in time to rebook them on that flight. 'Our records show they flew to MCO on the airplane that had been parked at their original gate,' the airline said. Southwest issued $100 vouchers as compensation for the delayed travel. A full refund is not available as the two women completed their flight. 'We apologise for the inconvenience. Southwest is always looking for ways to improve our Customers' travel experiences, and we're active in the airline industry in sharing best practices about how to best accommodate Passengers with disabilities, the spokesperson added. Southwest said that for customers who are blind, escort and navigation assistance is available from the airport curb to and from gates and between gates for connecting flights. It said that customers must identify themselves and the type of assistance they require to a Southwest employee when they arrive at the airport, at any connection points, and when they land at their destination. 'In the event of a gate change, our employees are responsible for ensuring all customers who need assistance reach the new gate,' the spokesperson the daily Crossword

We Had A Life That Looked Good On The Surface. Then We Sold Everything We Owned To Travel The World Full Time.

When my husband and I told people we were selling everything we owned to travel full time, most assumed we were either having a midlife crisis or chasing an early retirement fantasy. The truth is, it was neither. It was something we couldn't quite explain at the time, only that we felt called to do it. We were 50-something empty nesters with 35 years of marriage under our belt. We had four grown daughters and nine grandkids, a house we loved, a business we'd built, and a life that, on the surface, looked good. And it was good, even if we felt like something was missing. We had fallen into a rhythm that felt more like repetition. It was like living the same day over and over again. Then, during COVID, I had a cancer scare. It turned out to be benign, but in the long, terrifying weeks of waiting, everything shifted. All the routines and responsibilities that once felt essential suddenly seemed arbitrary. I realized how easily we could run out of time, and how much of our lives we had spent putting things off. That experience cracked something open in us. We started asking harder questions. What if we stopped waiting for the right time? What if we actually did the thing we always said we'd do 'someday'? We started joking about 'running away' and living out of a suitcase. Then the jokes turned into spreadsheets. Spreadsheets turned into lists. And before we knew it, we were sitting on our living room floor, surrounded by decades of stuff, packing up donations and wondering if we'd completely lost our minds. Spoiler: We had. In the best possible way. We sold the house, the cars, even the furniture. We got rid of the lawnmower, the sectional, and the juicer I swore I'd use one day. We kept what we could carry in two suitcases, put a few special things in storage, and had a sense of purpose that was both thrilling and terrifying. We boarded a one-way flight to Bali with vague plans to return for Christmas. We had no fixed itinerary and absolutely no idea what we were doing. That was two years ago. Since then, we've lived in 15 countries, traveled more than 120,000 miles, and learned more about ourselves than we did in the previous 30 years combined. The logistics were tough, but the emotional part was even harder. How do you explain to your adult kids that you're leaving? Not just for a week or two, but for the foreseeable future. That you're skipping the stability you once preached and embracing a lifestyle that even you don't fully understand? There were tears. There was confusion. There were hugs and heart-to-hearts and promises to FaceTime. One of our grandkids asked if we were going to live in space. Another said, 'You'll be back in a week.' I laughed at the time, but part of me wondered if they were right. Some of them think we're on every airplane they see in the sky. You should see the looks of confusion when we're actually with them and they see a plane overhead. I wrestled with guilt in ways I never expected. I had been a mom for so long, and was so excited to be a grandmother. It felt strange to center myself in the story of my own life. What kind of woman chooses adventure over baking cookies with her grandkids? But here's the thing. I spent decades making sure everyone else was OK. This was the first time I asked what I wanted. And what I wanted was to live intentionally, explore the world with my husband, and create a new kind of legacy, one built not just on stability, but on curiosity and courage. When we landed in Bali, it was raining. We ended up booking a beautiful Airbnb that turned out to be way out in the countryside. There was a beach across the street, but no grocery stores nearby and no public transportation. That first night, we sat in our villa and quietly wondered if we'd made a huge mistake. And then something shifted. We found rhythm in the chaos. We rented a scooter and slowly started exploring. We began falling in love with our little town of Balian. We didn't know what we were doing and that was the point. We woke up every day with nothing to do and nowhere to be. It was a kind of freedom we hadn't known since our 20s. We explored neighborhoods on foot, tried foods we couldn't pronounce, got lost, and found hidden cafés and quiet moments that reminded us why we were doing this. Some days were magic. Other days were mundane. This wasn't a vacation. It was life, just in a new time zone, with monkeys, surfing and nasi goreng. We started sharing our journey online through our blog, and our Instagram. What began as a way to keep family updated quickly turned into something more: a space to inspire others who felt like they had missed their shot at adventure. People would message us saying, 'I didn't know you could do this at 50,' or, 'My kids are grown and I feel stuck. Thank you for showing another way.' That was when we realized this wasn't just our story. It was something bigger. One of the most surprising things we learned? You don't have to be extremely wealthy to travel full time. We live on $3,000 a month, and sometimes even less. We rent long-term Airbnbs in walkable neighborhoods. We cook most of our meals. We take public transportation and book flights based on what's cheapest, not what's most convenient. Letting the deal determine the destination has taken us to places we never expected: Vietnam, Thailand, even France and Spain. Some of our favorite places were ones we'd never even considered. People often assume travel is all luxury and leisure, but the truth is, this lifestyle is as much about problem-solving as it is about passports. We've dealt with visa mix-ups, broken washing machines, language barriers, food poisoning, lost luggage, and a phone that got stolen on the metro on our first day in Paris. We've also had more conversations with strangers, more spontaneous dance parties, and more 'I can't believe this is our life' moments than we can count. The hardest part isn't travel; it's the distance. I won't sugarcoat it. Being away from our kids and grandkids is the hardest part. We've missed birthday parties and baby teeth and all the little in-between moments you don't realize are sacred until you're watching them on a screen. I've cried in hotel rooms and on train platforms. I've questioned whether we're doing the right thing more times than I can count. But I've also learned that presence isn't just physical. We send voice memos and pictures. We read bedtime stories over Zoom. We send postcards from every city we visit. We help with piano practice over FaceTime. We tell them about the world and how big and beautiful it is, and that they can be part of it, too. And when we do visit home, which we plan intentionally a few times a year, our time together feels richer, deeper, more present. Because we're not exhausted. We're not running on empty or counting the minutes until the weekend. We're showing up as our fullest selves. There's this myth that by 50, you should have it all figured out. That reinvention is for the young. That it's too late to start over. But the truth is, this chapter, the one after raising kids, building careers, and checking all the boxes, can be the most freeing of all. Success used to look like a paid-off mortgage, a big career, and a packed calendar. Now, it looks like a morning walk through a market in Bali or working from a quiet French café in a town square. It looks like having time to think, to connect, to breathe. It also looks like learning to trust myself again. To make decisions not based on expectations, but on intuition. To be OK with not knowing what comes next. And the most surprising part? The more we've embraced uncertainty, the more certain we feel. If you're reading this and thinking, That sounds amazing, but I could never do that, I want you to know: I thought that, too. I also know what a privilege it is to be able to choose this path. Not everyone has the flexibility, resources or support to travel the world full time, and I'm deeply grateful every day that we get to live this way. We didn't have it all figured out. Honestly, we still don't. But we did it anyway. And that's what made it meaningful. You don't have to sell everything and move abroad to reclaim your life. But you can say yes to something that scares you. You can want more, even if your life looks full on paper. You can choose yourself, even if you've spent years choosing everyone else. This isn't a story about travel. It's a story about permission. About listening to the little whisper inside that says, 'What if?' and then daring to find out. We're still figuring it out, one country, one mistake, one unforgettable moment at a time. But if there's one thing I know for sure, it's this: It's never too late to live a life that feels like your own. A travel writer, blogger, and grandmother of nine who has lived in 15 countries, Shelly Peterson shares honest travel stories and tips at and runs a flight deal service that helps travelers chase their own adventures When she's not exploring a new destination, you can usually find her playing the harp, trying new recipes or soaking up the sun by the ocean.
