This is not a politically motivated post. I’m just a local resident with information. I keep seeing people defend the the new name. It’s just a rebrand and also this church wasn’t even started by Jerry Prevo. It was originally called Bible Baptist Church and met in an army barracks on Debarr RD.

1. It’s endorsed by TPUSA faith

2. Hold Erika Kirk TPUSA events like make heaven crowded

3. Has an organization called Alaska Liberty Alliance

4. Sends out lame postcards about residents voting records

5. Partly ran by millennials and Gen Z to appeal to millennials and Gen Z

6. Claims to be obsessed with Charlie Kirk who Jerry Prevo fired at Liberty

7. Uses trendy and gimmicky marketing to compete with Changepoint

8. Even more obsessed with controversial flags than ABT was

9. The new name isn’t even creative and no one ever thought they were Mormon with the name Temple

10. Well this one’s actually a positive one. They ended their TV contract with KYUR Ch. 13 last year meaning the station no longer broadcasts this church.

Yeah it was a complete shit show. Like no one knew what they were doing, people were lost and impatient, no one knew the belt, belt sensors going off all the time, stuff not fully setup, minor construction work still going on etc. 10/10 wouldn’t recommend.

In Anchorage AK there is this indoor water park called H20asis that opened in 2003 and that has currently closed for almost 2 yrs. The owner is in a dispute with the state over an inspection guy and is apparently trying to reopen.

Anyway Wild Waves reminded me so much of H20asis. The slides, lazy river, wave pool just resembled a bigger outdoor version of H20asis and I remember finding it fascinating. My brother was kinda disappointed with the water park as he’s been to bigger Six Flags parks but I enjoyed my time there.

I applied a for vacant ops manager position that was posted under a senior manager whose department I used to work for so I am very familiar with it. The senior manager who the posting was supposed to be under emails me and says the posting I bidded on is a different mgr role at the same location and a different senior manager that I would be reporting too

I am currently a team lead who recently moved departments and job location and happened to see the manager opening. The mgr job I thought I was applying to still appears vacant under the people directory system.

Is it normal procedure to change the mgr job posting after it closes? It sounds like are they moving someone to the position I thought I was applying for. I asked my manager about it and he didn’t know. I’m also currently at a smaller station in a separate location right now. My current team is about to move in a new building next to the main hub at the airport where I was working sometime next month or so. But it’s not like I could easily find out more other than emailing right now.

I’m sure most people in the sub know but Kmart opened stores in Alaska in the early 90’s and left in 2003 due to a company wide bankruptcy. I believe closing Alaska stores was an overreaction of financial mismanagement and didn’t represent how these stores were doing. This was also before the Eddie Lambert years when Kmart merged with Sears.

The Alaska locations were apparently newer and larger than many Kmarts in the lower 48. Kmart had a reputation for having outdated and rundown stores and this was not the case in Alaska. I think they were all “Big” Kmarts. Anchorage specifically had the Rodeo pl and Old Seward locations that originally opened with a little Caesar’s that included a large dining area. I can’t recall if these locations had a Kmart “cafe” but I digress. I also have probably only been the Old Seward location sparingly as I mainly shopped at the Rodeo pl one.

To get to my question I remember a year before these stores closed or so Kmart did major renovations. This included gutting and closing the little Caesar’s area and redoing the store layout. Once the renovations were complete a new full grocery section replaced the old space. I remember being very impressed growing up and it felt like a Safeway competitor at the time. Unlike both target’s I remember it having full grocery options.

The postcard I got has a code I got was about was “what kept you voting in this election”? I’ve selected other for all the questions and put ridiculous stuff and it let me fill it out twice now. I would share my code but it’s probably against Reddit rules to spam it. But don’t throw it away if you get it and just put anything you want for name, phone number and answers.

For those unfamiliar with the church it’s located at 6401 E Northern Lights East Anchorage and formerly known as Anchorage Baptist Temple and before 1974 it was called Bible Baptist Church when it was on Debarr Rd.

Have fun!!!

I have been with FedEx(Express) for 3yrs and 1yr and 3 months of that times as a fulltime teamlead. Over a month ago I made a decision I now regret to apply for an open position at a non airport ground station. I was working at an airport regional job that currently handles both domestic and international packages. I feel like I should mention they are opening a domestic operations building next to the regional hub and moving the ground station over next month.

Basically the job I’m doing now at the ground station is totally different than the hub and I’m struggling to learn it. The station is way understaffed and on top of it packages were being sent the station that shouldn’t have been. I’ve been getting blamed for so much and have had issues with my ops supervisor. My co team lead is more pleasant to work with but thinks the chaos and disorganization is normal and really doesn’t understand where I coming from.

Fortunately my salary ops manager has been understanding and patient with me but doesn’t think the role is right for me. Here’s where it gets bad. Apparently the senior manager will let me transfer out of the position but basically it’s up to me to find a job at FedEx. My manager also told me the senior manager is pressuring him to write me up for little stuff apparently but my manager understands what’s going on. He is also encouraging me to apply for jobs as he claims he will not have to write me up then.

I just feel like I don’t have many good options right now until I can find a role that fits me. My reasons for transferring from the hub feel stupid now. But if I wait it sounds like I’ll get written up. I also find it strange that the senior manager a the station would be this involved as my old senior manager barely even knew me and had no idea about my job performance at the hub. I have never had a write up and now I’m very close to it. There is a manger position open at the hub I’m interested in and I’m thinking of just applying for the heck of it.

This hotel was built in 1979 with 370 rooms and is located on the edge of downtown Anchorage. It’s still listed Sheraton according Marriott.com and managed by Remington hospitality.

Curious as to what distinguishing features Hyatt Regency offers that Sheraton/Marriott doesn’t. We already have a huge Marriott here managed by Columbia Sussex so it seems like no loss there.

I ask this because of the strange news operations of ABC affiliate KYUR 13 in Anchorage. Operating under Vision Alaska LLC it shares a joint sales and shared services agreement with Coastal Television owned FOX 4 KTBY. This is just legal loophole to bypass dual station ownership restrictions.

So basically what happened is in 2020 Coastal Television laid off the entire news team for these stations and replaced it with a national Newsnet broadcast. Local weather segments were produced in Nevada. I kept hearing rumors at the time that KYUR was at risk of losing its ABC affliction.

In 2022 all the sudden Coastal Television decides to rehire an anchor who quit the stations in 2011 and start a local newscast again. The quality still suffers compared to Gray TV’s Alaska Source broadcast on KTUU/KYES. But it’s actually a legitimate local news operation/

Recently coastal television has been rebranding the stations from FOX Alaska/ABC Alaska to KTBY Fox 4 and KYUR ABC 13 focusing in the individual stations identity but still under the your Alaska link website.

I just find it strange they cut the team only to add it back a few years later when I’m assuming the ad revenue for both stations never increased and probably decreased overtime.

I really don’t have the most favorable opinion of Dr. Drew but I remember listening every night as much as I could. I didn’t think I started listening when Adam Corolla did it but I remember DJ Stryker cohosted when I was tuning in. According to Wikipedia the show went on way longer than I thought even with attempted relaunches but I associate it with 00’s nostalgia.

I was looking through FCC data for the Anchorage radio market only to be completely surprised how a group of stations under the same ownership are all under different towers. What’s confusing for me is one tower holds multiple stations that are owned by different groups.

For example IHeart owns 4 FM stations in my area and most of them are on different towers. But a competitor like Connoisseur media(merged with Alpha Media) will share the same tower with Iheart and also has multiple stations spread out on different towers. Neither of these companies own any of the towers.

Another group Ohana Media Group owns one of the towers but doesn’t even have all their radio stations on the tower they own. The tower they own also has a tv transmitter on it ran by bridge news with a bunch of junk digital sub channels.

Wouldn’t it be most cost effective for these radio station owners to use the same tower for all of their stations.

This article is from 2022 but goes into detail about broadcasting challenges

After being surprised this week to hear a local radio personality let go from a pop and country station it made me nostalgic for some other people cut over the years in my area. I used to like listening to a morning show that eventually fell victim to IHeart cuts several years ago. The company seemed better when it was called Clear Channel. The Anchorage radio market has gotten worse over the years. The dial may still be full but the transmissions have nothing valuable to offer anymore.

When the show mentioned Sterling was from Alaska I didn’t think much of it at first. Alaska is so tossed around in reality shows these days. But Sterling actually does have deep ties to Alaska and graduated from Eagle River high school in 2019. He was also a summer intern for Alaska wealth advisors in 2023.

For those unfamiliar with the area Eagle River is a bedroom community in the municipality of Anchorage about 15 min from “Anchorage” itself. Although it’s mostly known for being a residential military community close to the military base the area offers multiple spectacular hiking trails and has a nature center.

I don’t know many people around the area here who would fit in or relate with LA influencer culture much less this disaster of a reality show. Honestly Brynn being on dance moms would have more in common with these people and that’s not saying much. Sterling actually seems more much outdoorsy and adventurous than myself and I would be lost in LA. Wonder if he will introduce his friends to Moose’s Tooth pizza or anything from here.
