The Artique has been in business over 30 years. Bob and I have dropped many, many dollars in that store.
We lived in Anchorage unitl 1995.

Fourth Avenue between C and H is pretty much filled with souvenir and t-shirt shops. There are old-fashioned lamp posts with hanging flower baskets.

I love Anchorage, even though most people think it's big city. It's on Cook Inlet, Turnagain Arm. Surrounded on three sides by water, with a lovely view of Mt. Susitna.

The air is so clean, it smells different.

Wish we were going, but it's the wrong time for us.

I'll post more info on Anchorage later.
