We bought a fern yesterday from Lowe’s that had a tiny lizard hiding in it. We initially thought it was a gecko but now believe it to be some kind of brown anole. After a tense stand off we convinced him to surrender and get in a small plastic bin. Is there anywhere in Anchorage we can take it? We’re not really lizard people.

Heard about the protests that are occurring this weekend. Anyone know where they’re occurring? I’d like to join in and be a part of the community. Thanks

the birds are chirping and the smell of summer is here. The flowers around the house starting to blossom. And soon the evergreens will go into hyper growth. Summer is here folk! Got dang we made it through one crazy flippin winter!

Title pretty much says it all. I’ve been looking to have this done for a few years now and can’t find a single person willing to consider the job

Hello! I bought an owl birchbark earring from a vendor at forest fair a few years back and lost one of them recently. Does anyone know which artist this might be?? I remember they had a lot of cute animal designs. Id love to replace it if i can find the artist!

Hey Anchorage gardeners, where and what type of soil do you get for your seeds starts? and then follow that up with, for your veggie garden? I usually do flowers by seed, but this is my first go at veggies.

Hi, I am looking for leads on a lawyer specializing in medical malpractice. Any info is appreciated!

Saw a black bear way high in a tree while biking the Ship Creek trail today.

We should tell our reps how we feel. Here’s why:

Alaska exported $1.2 billion to China in 2023, half in seafood. China’s 10% tariff on it and recently announced additional sweeping 34% tariff could cut jobs and raise prices.

Border towns like Haines and Skagway depend on Canadian goods. A 25% tariff could increase costs for groceries and $314 million in yearly fuel imports.

Congress, not the President, should set tariffs. Using “emergency powers” for this—linked to fentanyl—feels like executive overreach.

Action: Email Senators Murkowski and Sullivan, and Rep. Begich with your own version or something like this:

Subject: Tariffs Hurt Alaska

Dear [Senator/Representative], The new tariffs threaten our seafood industry, raise border town costs, and sidestep Congress. Please act to protect Alaska’s economy and Constitution. Thanks, [Your Name]

Their contact info is online. It’s quick, and if enough of us speak up, it could matter. How do you anticipate these tariffs hitting your area?

I shit on GCI with many others, but this time I actually have something nice to say.

Service has been spotty here in S. Anchorage ever since I signed up with them. I don't have good memories of dealing with them when I've been around the state on other contracts. Especially in Nome.

Service went out Sunday. I wasn't off until yesterday. They thought they had it fixed remotely, but it went down again maybe half an hour later. And because we all thought it was fixed, they cancelled the service appointment. Called back, fixed, then went down. Had to schedule service for today, because even though I had it scheduled and the time between fixed and not fixed was so minimal, they tell me "No same day."

Dude comes out today, works methodically, tracing everything. Starts with simple fixes, still sees what I've been seeing, so he kept digging. Turns out it's a bad splitter. He swaps that and next thing I know, I'm banging away on speeds I've never seen before.

Bummer that they can't id things like that remotely.

Hello, I've heard about a food truck festival in town and was wondering if anyone knew if it's happening tomorrow, and if so when and what time?

Is it illegal to pull off on the Seward highway and load up on rocks in any of the many areas you could? And I mean safely pull off not just on the shoulder of the road.

Or any other areas to recommend for sourcing flattish rocks? Think stepping stones.

Trying to diy a backyard project and save some dollars.

Thanks!

There’s around 4-6 stray cats around my neighborhood that are very wary and we have been unable to humanely trap. What are some precautions and preparations I can do and any specific items leave for them if there’s lots of ash-fall after mt. Spurr erupts?

Star VII, unofficial mascot of Anchorage, was put down after he was sprayed with a liquid by a masked assailant.

Can someone recommend a restaurant with open face, hot turkey sandwiches? I miss Peggy’s 😭

Hey guys I am looking for a masseuse that does a 1$/min that does a good job. Recommendations would be appreciated
