seemed to me that Anchorage had at least 2 of everything that we have in So. California.
I was there for 3 days in December a few years ago and only saw it at night, I spent the 10-2 daylight hours in an attorneys office.
No Olive Garden
No (most any) chain resturants like Chicis, Shakeys and so on.
SO have Wally World
Fred Meyers
Home Depot (No hoards of Mexicans is the parking lot tho)
Lowes
Got A Dairy Queen last year (went once, filthy place)
Now have Walgreens x2
Now have a Target
Have only Safeway as a chain supermarket
Less pollution than SoCal but then we don’t have In and Out Burger (uuuummmmmm good) - so I suppose on some Cosmic balance sheet we wind up with less than everyone and more than most.....
Sorry about being stuck with lawyers, shame you didn’t get to Girdwood for some skiing.
Lost our KMart with the frawn down a couple of years ago
