People, places, things, and ideas I love in Anchorage, AK
Did you know that when you stop by Skinny Raven Sports and you happen to be wearing a pair of scratched, scuffed, all-around dull Danskos, a ridiculously nice salesperson will smile sweetly and beg to shine your shoes? I didn’t either, until today… Although the wear and tear of this pair of Danskos isn’t as bad as previous pairs, they were not looking their best… and now look at them shine!
Thank you Skinny Raven!
Like most people, I fall prey to resolution-making for the new year. My resolutions generally fit into the category of “be better at everything” and are often hard to keep. But despite knowingly setting myself up for failure, one way I always start the new year feeling good is stopping by a Kaladi Brothers coffee shop.
Christmas snuck up on me this year and now that it’s almost here I’ve felt a distinct lack of holiday spirit. At least, I was…. until my mom and I stopped by Kobuk Coffee Co.
If you lived in Anchorage between 1950 -2000, you probably remember this sign from Gary King’s Sporting Goods.
These may look like normal cups of Kaladi Brothers coffee… but they’re not.
This beauty graces the window of Second Run – the perfect seasonal ball gown. An evergreen crown might be easier to wear though; I bet Alaska Knit Nat knows how to make one!
Today is the last day of the Maury Studio sale, one of my favorite holiday shopping traditions.
Today is Small Business Saturday, the locally focused, community oriented shopping day offering a refreshing change of pace to the hectic intensity of Black Friday.
How often have you been hiking, fishing, or hunting in the rain and and long for a few moisture-free moments? Anchorage’s Dan Aicher aims to give you a respite from the wet with his new product, All Terrain Cover (ATC).
