Just moved into a new place off Gilmore Trl last month, and we’ve already experienced 3 power outages, with two of them lasting longer than 2 hours….is this normal for Gilmore Trl or just a weird month?

It's Monday. It's Summer. There's got to be something going on.
Here's a place to mention any sort of event/meeting/whatever that people might not know about and might not warrant it's own post.
Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.
Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.
The intersection now has white areas with poles around them at each of the 4 corners. It makes it just a bit trickier to turn at the intersection, with no benefit that I can see.
Does anyone know why the change was made?
Yes, I should have linked to a picture. But I didn't take one. :-(
Hey everyone! I'll be moving to Fairbanks soon for about a year for hospital training/work and I'm starting to look into getting a vehicle. I've heard a lot of good things about Affordable Used Cars, but from what I've seen they might be a little outside my budget for only being here a year. I've also been keeping an eye on FB Marketplace and have seen a few options pop up.
I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for:
- Good places to buy a reliable used car without breaking the bank.
- Makes/models that tend to do well in Fairbanks winters
- A trustworthy mechanic who could do a pre-purchase inspection if I find something on Marketplace
- Any dealerships or sellers I should avoid.
- Even if anyone has a vehicle sitting around that isn't getting much use, I'd also be interested in working out an off-market arrangement
Nothing fancy just something dependable that'll get me through winter and point A->B
Really appreciate any advice or local recs. Thanks!

I'm trying to find someone to do a roof inspection for me in Fairbanks. I don't know of anything wrong with the roof but want to see if it needs any maintenance. I've reached out to a few companies who said they'd provide an inspection with photos but just came back with quotes for whole roof replacement and nothing about current condition.
Ideally I'd like to find a roofing expert or company that I will pay to do the inspection with the understanding that I will not be hiring them to replace the roof. I need an unbiased look.
Any suggestions most appreciated!
I went in for a lunch meal. Got the 2 hot dogs combo. When I got to the check out the cashier charged me for each item. I told him that it was a combo and he looked at me as I was LYING. Got the combo price in the end. Be sure you don't get over charged for combos.
Stopped at a few places in town tonight and wondered, "what am I missing"? Curious what First Friday stuff everyone enjoys and maybe get some inspiration to a new stop for the 7 Aug event?
For the curious, here's a smattering of First Friday related links.

For me it was East Ramp and then Wells... then I got a call to go to work for a bit sadly.
I'm in town for a couple of months and I love skipping rocks but I already used up a good deal of the flat smooths I found at the spot under the Old Steese bridge so I'm wondering if there are any others.
Loving your city so far cheers
What the actual is this car? Saw it today. Looks insane and it's koneigsegg.
Recently just bought our first home in Fairbanks. Any reputable local insurance companies? Currently bundled with USAA for everything but kind of over them as a company.
My car is down and I need to commute to North Pole, is anyone willing to give me a ride in exchange for gas money. I am a bit desperate right now.
It’s become the thing that makes me the most happy, and I have plenty of seeds to share if anyone wants em 💗
Hi guys. Forgive me if this has been asked before. Any recommendations for kink friendly therapists around here? Thanks a bunch!!!
