The museum is showing a 52-minute film called The Salmon Forest. On Canada’s Pacific coast, winding from the north end of Vancouver Island to the Alaskan border, is more than 400 kilometers of forested inlets and islands. This is the largest tract of intact temperate rainforest on Earth. Here, millions of spawning salmon that support dense concentrations of forest life, including grizzly bears, black bears, bald eagles, seals, otters, gulls and the Gitga’at First Nation, return every year. Bathed in mist and rain year-round, this is one of the most biologically diverse and lush places on the planet.

First ‘Movie Monday’ At Heard Museum This Monday
Movie Mondays are back to the Heard Museum this summer by popular demand.
The first movie, Totem: The Return of the G’psgolox Pole, will show on June 1 at 1:30pm. In 1929, a 9-meter-high totem pole was stolen from the Haisla people’s village in northwestern British Columbia. The totem pole was discovered in 1991 in Stockholm, Sweden. The 70-minute film, released in 2003, follows the journey of the Haisla to reclaim their traditional mortuary pole.
Blues at the Q
It can be hard to find jazz in Phoenix if you’re not at the Rhythm Room, so head out to The Farm at South Mountain’s Quiessence Restaurant to enjoy some food and drink and some of Phoenix’s best jazz musicians in a rare open-air environment. This isn’t the cramped confines of dark and dingy club. This is the beautiful airiness of a warm Arizona summer night at the Q’s awesome patio.
Live in a Loft on Central
The epitome of downtown Phoenix urban living would be to live right on the light rail line, with a restaurant downstairs, the Library across the street, a pharmacy a few blocks away and the grocery store within bicycling distance, don’t you agree? Some fortunate soul will seize the opportunity to enjoy the just described locale by acquiring this bank-owned, 2-story loft at the Artisan Lofts on Central, that just came on the market.
