Maybe it’s the glossy red sign
on Broadway, the super plush
theater seating or the thoughtfully
curated fi lms — whatever it
is, the Bijou Metro has done
wonders to class up downtown
Eugene. And don’t pigeon hole
them as “highbrow” — although
they can be (art house, foreign,
indie and documentary fi lms
dominate the cinema’s lineup)
— because Bijou Metro is not
afraid to get downright campy
(1979’s The Visitor) and nostalgic
(Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
The Movie and The Secret of the
Ooze).

Lucky are those who wander by The Kiva on a
Customer Appreciation Day, for they shall bliss
out on free samples of local food, from roasted
organic veggies to amazing Cousin Jack’s Pasties.
The Kiva’s been a staple of Eugene since 1970,
and after more than 40 years in business, we think
they’ve mastered the perfect combination of friendly
atmosphere, sustainable foods and a certain hard-to-
defi ne aura that makes us proud to live in Eugene.
