What your bank didn't push this trinket at you? /sarc>


If it's a major appliance, you can go someplace like this here. You may not have been in Alaska long enough to remember McKay's hardware down behind Chilkoot Charlie's, but it was the kind of place where anything off-the-wall mechanically could be found. In the Anchorage/Eagle river area, I normally shop Fred Meyer, AIH, B&J's.


I miss Gary King's Sporting Goods most of all in the sporting goods section for Anchorage. Gary's was always service orientated, and a great contributor to the ski world in Alaska when they were big.

I do appreciate the link, but I have trouble believing it is all made in America. Such as:

http://madeinusa.org/nav.cgi?data/kitc

near the bottom choose:
Gourmet cookware, appliance, and kitchenware accessories
which goes to:

http://www.cool-kitchenwarez.com/

This list of products here does not appear to be only made in America, at this site, it is a amazon.com online store.

They have:
Yamazaki Flatware
Sharp & Sanyo Microwaves

I'm sure most of it is real, but this was the first link I followed and it left me doubting.

And I've only been here a little of two years. Not even enought time to break in the snowblower, just my back.
