Friday: MOHAI is screening the excellent From Rails to Trails documentary

Tonight (March 13), MOHAI is hosting a screening of the Edward Norton-narrated PBS documentary From Rails to Trails at their South Lake Union museum.

From 6-7 you can check out their Seattle cycling history exhibit. The film screening starts at 7.

It's a great film! I've had a partial draft of a review of it written since it first came out, but somehow I never finished writing it. Oops! There's a whole segment on the Burke-Gilman Trail, but it also does a great job of putting Seattle's trail effort into historical context with all the other work around the country. There's even a 1980 fight between a young Howard Dean and Burlington Mayor Bernie Sanders over a development that was going to block a trail (Dean was on the side of the trail and won).

Definitely worth a watch! If you can't make the screening, you can watch it online for free from PBS.
