The city opens like a map under your feet — brick sidewalks, the Willamette River nudging the edge of town, and the Park Blocks rising as a green spine through downtown. On an Electric Eugene hunt you move fast enough to feel the city’s pulse but slow enough to notice the carved faces on bronze sculptures and the faded tiles on an old depot platform.
