Come out and enjoy a cupcake and a movie every Thursday night throughout the summer!

This weeks selection:

ARID LANDS (2007, 98 min.)
Arid Lands is a documentary feature about the land and people of the Columbia River Basin in southeastern Washington state. Sixty years ago, the Hanford nuclear site produced plutonium for the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, and today the area is the focus of the largest environmental cleanup in history. It is a landscape of incredible contradictions. Coyotes roam among decommissioned nuclear reactors, salmon spawn in the middle of golf courses, wine grapes grow in the sagebrush, and federal cleanup dollars spur rapid urban expansion. Arid Lands takes us into a world of sports fishermen, tattoo artists, housing developers, ecologists, and radiation scientists living and working in the area. It tells the story of how people changed the landscape over time, and how the landscape affected their lives.

It's recommended to get to the Cupcake Cafe at 6:30 to purchase your cupcake and beverages. The movie will start at 7:00.

Location: Cupcake Café (545 9th Ave. between 40th and 41st)
