There's lots of building going on in Anchorage, and I hope to post on some of the new structures that began or were finished while we were gone. Here are a couple of the old houses still surviving in downtown Anchorage. Some of these still have people living in them. Others have been turned into offices.
It's nice to see the Municipality letting people know they don't have to pay on weekends. I've often noticed meters on the weekend with money in them. It does say except weekends on the signs, but it never said it on the meters before. Probably the businesses downtown pushed for this one.
As we walked around downtown, there were lots of things to notice. Like this shop window.
Since we didn't feel like waiting around at Snow City for breakfast, we ended up having lunch at the Brewpub. As we walked around afterward, we saw some other places we could have breakfast, like Sacks. But my halibut was good.
We poked in at the PAC and found three of this year's artsy salmon. Here's one with a hatbox.
And this silver. (I couldn't find any official names of the fish.)
There were some Thai tourists enjoying Anchorage.
And lots of other tourists getting what they needed, I hope, at the visitor's center.
One suggestion someone made about all the orphan bike locks - people leave them there rather than take them home. Anyone know why these all get left behind?
Then we headed back to the Parkstrip to see if there was more action at the Juneteenth Celebration. Passing Skinny Raven's (can you guess what this store sells?) flower pots.
