What should OPB know about Port Orford for our next Our Town?

OPB's daily talk show Think Out Loud is planning to come to Port Orford for our Our Town series at the end of the month. We want to know what's happening where you live.

What's the talk at the local coffee shop? What do you value most? What should our producers know about current challenges or successes in your community?

Perhaps you're a small business owner with an interesting take on the economy, a parent dealing with cuts to public schools, or maybe you know about an important community matter that deserves coverage in the media.

Whatever the story, OPB would like to hear from you. Feel free to send us a photo that features your community, too.

What issues are affecting you and your community? If you have specific story ideas, please feel free to tell us here.

Do you have personal experience or connection with any of the issues you mention above? If so, please describe.

What do you value most about your town, or the Southern Coast more broadly?

Who are the most interesting people in your community? Who should we talk with to understand what's going on in your part of the state? (Please include email addresses and phone numbers if you have them)

What else should we know about this subject?

If you have an original photo to illustrate your insights, your community, or just of yourself, please upload it here. We may feature your photo on OPBnews.org (No larger than 1MB, please!)

Now, we have a few questions that will help us better understand your perspective. None of this information is required, and all of it will remain private to the newsroom.

In what year were you born?

What political party, if any, do you identify with most closely?

What do you do for work?

What is your household income?

What is your race or ethnicity?
