Green Man of Portland

In downtown Portland, Oregon, on the corner of NW Couch and 5th there
is a sculpture of the green man of Portland. Reminds me of the Jolly
green giant myth. More pics to come!

New Kid on The Block: BigfootHub.com

There are tons of Bigfoot websites out there, and to be honest most of them are autobiographies of a Bigfoot enthusiast bragging how they have built a better Bigfoot trap.

Like Gandhi says, "Theres room for all of us." We agree, there just isn't enough room or time to share all these sites at Bigfootlunchclub.com.

Every once in a while there is a site that breaks the mold, and we have to share it with all our readers. This is the case with Bigfoothub.com

BigfootHub.com is aptly named and the content and resources they provide are everything you would expect from a hub. In their own words:

The premise of BigfootHub.com is simple: We scour the web for all the best Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Skunke Ape and Yeti content, record where it's at, put it into categories, and publish that information here so you can get to it fast.

This is what you will find at BigfootHub.com a great resource.

NEWS
To that end, we serve up News feeds from six different sources, including the Bigfoot Forums, Blogsquatcher, Cryptomundo, Google, Stan Courtney, and the Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy.

RECENT SIGHTINGS
We also thought it would be great if our visitors could quickly scan the latest sightings headlines, from multiple sources, in a single page. A fancy schmancy accordion-style window that makes it easy to have everything on one screen.

REPORT A SIGHTING
Those visitors wishing to share their Sasquatch experience will find our Sightings Report form straight-forward and easy to use.

VIDEOS
Okay, we LOVE this feature, mostly because BigfootHub.com have picked the cream of the crop top 50 Bigfoot videos on you tube. This is what BigfootHub.com is about in a nutshell. They filter the relevant stuff for you!

WEBSITES DATABASE
So instead of simple “Links” page, they have a searchable Database of Bigfoot sites. That way they can keep things organized, and you can find what you’re looking for. It’s pretty cool. And geeky. We love it. You can even find BLC there.

ONLINE BOOK
It’s a short, fascinating, and interesting read. Some people will love it. Others will reject it immediately. Our consensus here at BLC is once you read the first, you HAVE to read the rest. 'Nuff saaid.

MERCHANDISE
Yes! Its like a virtual store with multiple vendors all selling Bigfoot stuff in one place.

Bottom Line: BigfootHub.com is powerful, extensive and comprehensive. Its been a while since we have been blessed with a website so robust, built by a crew that is all about the research and not all about them self. Bigfoot Lunch Club Salutes you BigfootHub.com
