Town Square Park will close for renovations after Memorial Day
The new park will be flattened out for more visibility and have food truck parking space.
Black out tips for summer sun, share your hacks for windows in houses and comfy mask recommendations please.
Feeling more sensitive to the light while I try to sleep. Even with black out curtains, it's feeling like too much light is getting through. I want the comfiest mask and also window and car camping tips.
Thank you.
Looking for a 100% blackout window solution
I'm looking to install any sort of blackout blind/curtain/roller blades that will block out 100% of all light from the window.
It basically needs to look like the room is pitch black 100%.
Are there any companies or products I can buy
Thank your legislature
Failing again and again to better the lives of public service. Thanks dumbleavy for veto of any hope for the future of Alaska. Again.
Alaska Pension
Congrats to the representatives who voted to override Dunleavy's spiteful veto of the Alaska Pension.
Arctic Benson Park
Anyone know why the city decided to remove so many trees from Arctic Benson park?
Rehoming a cat for free
Hi, we have a cat that will need a new home. We have two cats, they are sisters. One accidentally got out of our house, and when she returned the same day, her sister kept attacking her due to an unfamilliar smell.
It has been three weeks and they still keep on fighting. It is so stressing that we need to separate them to keep each other safe.
We would like to find her a new home.
Good paying warehouse/stocker jobs?
Hello all. I need a new job, I currently work at a bank (not saying which one for privacy) and I absolutely loathe it. Im also certain my boss is looking for a reason to let me go. Im also one foot out of the door, almost willing to take anything. Ive been putting out applications but it seems like I'm not getting selected or things are far below my baseline. Im doing data entry currently but I speak with people over the phone and I just want out of the office setting. I dont mind continuing office work, but I need to know where to look. Ive tried applying to the Alaska Native hospital, but no callbacks yet. Bass Pro stocker position was just filled and pays too little.
Anyone know of any place hiring that I can at least start $23/hr? My base is desire is $25/hr but I know that's not possible starting over most places. I would do factory or line work, I just am blanking on places to try. Any suggestions would be helpful. I need full time, and im open to things like driving (no special licenses, just driver) and food prep (I want to learn how to cook).
Thank you for any advice, fellow 'Laskans!

CDL Training
Any companies in town that are hiring and will pay for cdl training? I really want to get a cdl but i definitely can't afford to do it on my own.
Any Help is Mulch Appreciated
Looking for wood chips (or mulch) around town for my fruit trees & bushes but need more than a few bags. I thought I'd try looking for bulk instead, but after a few phone calls I'm realizing it's not as easy as I thought, so I figured I'd ask you guys instead.
Here's what I've found so far:
• A1 Lawn & Landscaping - Mulch > $40/yd³ > 1yd³ minimum
• Faltz Landscaping - Mulch > $128/yd³(???) > 1yd³ minimum
• Gage Tree Service - Mulch > FREE > 7yd³ minimum delivered, no guarantee on date of delivery
I need ~½yd³ (but would buy a full yd³), prefer wood chips (but...), & need them natural (uncolored).
Can anyone point me in the right direction for quality & value?
Thanks!
Edit: I have an '01 Tundra with a 6.5' bed so I can pick up
Job hunting sites/ resources
My daughter (23) just graduated college and moved back to Anchorage this past week. However, she has never had a job before, so I’m trying to find a good “entry level” job to get her experience in the work force before she starts down a career path. We have been looking on indeed with little luck.
She is incredibly shy and soft spoken, and I want her to break out of her shell. Looking for ideas or resources for beginner jobs that could turn into careers?
Best Bars For Singles?
As a single male that just turned 30 I'm struggling to find a place to meet new people. Are there any bars or other third places in town that y'all recommend. Honestly any place to meet anyone new would be great.
Just Venting about the religion pushers
There's a new teen program in Eagle River and I was excited for the local teens. They need some good programs and places to go.
Then I found out it's funded by a bunch of religion pushers. Why do they have to shove that crap down peoples' throats all the time. Like, people know where to find it if they want it, you've got your buildings everywhere. There are like 10 churches in a half mile radius of our house.
Stop pretending to care when you are really just trying to recruit.
