😂 Laurelhurst is where to be this Friday
May 31, 2026 · — Ben McBee
Hey there! Laurelhurst, or as some may call it Yannyhurst, is where you go for laughs on the lawn. We should probably leave the punchlines (and outdated pop culture references) to the stand-ups headlining this week’s Comedy in the Park, but there’s plenty more to explore in this neighborhood. Let’s check it out.

Whether you’re geocaching or exploring the annual neighborhood garage sale, there are more treasures to be found in Laurelhurst. If it be gold (or rather brass) that ye seek, look no further than the Joan of Arc statue in Coe Circle, a storied recreation of the figure that sits along the Place de Pyramides in Paris.
