People, places, things, and ideas I love in Anchorage, AK
Every Wednesday morning, I drink a sip of coffee and click Anchorage Daily News‘ latest Market Fresh column by Steve Edwards. Steve and I used to be co-workers, so I’d get to quiz him about his column in person; now that I can’t loiter at his desk, reading Market Fresh is a weekly treat that makes me miss working with him – an incredibly talented, warm, and funny guy! He also writes the Alaskology blog.

When she found out that I was writing a blog about Anchorage, my high school BFF asked if I’d be posting about Kaladi Bros. If you know me outside of this blog, you’re probably wondering why that wasn’t my very first post! In fact, it almost was. But my love affair with coffee is deeper that just a drink, and therefore, harder to write about.
