Upstream: On a Fass-bender

Upstream: On a Fass-bender

Cinephiles across America rejoiced last month at the return of the Criterion Channel, which had disappeared with the death of FilmStruck at the end of November. Now it’s back, and back with a vengeance, loaded up with cinematic gems that have heretofore gone unseen in the movie streaming-verse.

Sometimes It Takes A Vision: New art gallery bridges past and present, art and underserved neighborhoods

Again and again, all signs pointed Dee Dee Tebeau to 2nd Avenue. Dee Dee was first drawn to the North Highland neighborhood by the example of Rob and Carrie Strickland, who help bring housing and educational opportunities to the area through their Truth Spring ministry.

There are stretches of the northwest coast where the gray-green Pacific Ocean crashes against the rocky shores of old growth conifer forests. It was there, in Seaside, Oregon, a village near the terminus of the Lewis and Clark Trail, hemmed by the Necanicum River to the north and Tillamook Head promontory to the south, where Betsy Eby grew up.  I met with Betsy in her studio, a loft in the old Swift Mill. She showed…

Crowd-favorite Million Dollar Quartet Returns to the Springer

Crowd-favorite Million Dollar Quartet Returns to the Springer

The Tony Award-winning Broadway musical inspired by a true story returns to the Springer Opera House May 3 through 18. On Dec. 4, 1956, four music legends–Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley–found themselves together at Sun Records in Memphis. Lucky for us, Sam Phillips, the “Father of Rock ‘n Roll,” pressed record. The rest is history–and, for us, a night of incredible music and story that will have you coming back…
