"Postman" Exhibit at Cutter

Come to the Cutter Theatre this month to see an exhibit honoring the tenth anniversary of the filming of The Postman in Metaline Falls and its environs. The display will feature photos of the town during its "Hollywood" phase (as captured by local residents) as well as articles and reminescences on experiencing the making of the film.

And while we're on the topic of The Postman...

What are your memories and experiences during that summer of 1997? Were you an extra in the movie? Did you have a run-in with any of the stars or the movie crew?

Post your comments and share in the fun!

Green Grocery Bags in Metaline Falls

Three cheers for the Falls Market!

It recently changed its plastic grocery bags to the Hippo Sak, which uses less plastic while being stronger than traditional bags. It is also recyclable - that is, if you can find a recycler who will accept it (try Earth Works in downtown Spokane, if nothing else). Also, the green Hippo Saks that the store had when I was there a few weeks ago are made completely from 100% post-consumer recycled materials. It's great to see the store is able to promote and benefit from more eco-friendly products.

Of course, a re-usable cloth shopping bag beats a plastic one any day...
