    • Every July and August, local artists decorate Salmon to display around town. They are later auctioned off for charity.

    Title Wave Books
    Scandic

    • Title Wave Books is the largest independent bookstore in Alaska, and one of the largest new-and-used bookstores in the entire country! This is a wonderland for me, with its hundreds of shelves of books and a nice cozy Kaladi coffee shop. Plus the location is great and yeah, i coudl spend hours andb hours in this place. It has
    33,000 square feet all on one level, plenty of room for jillions of great used books as well as a larger selection of new books. And it is open seven days a week.

    In the Northern Lights Center on West Northern Lights between Spenard and Minnesota..

    Drink lots of coffee

    Be sure to drop by these cheap roadside stands to pick up some coffee, espresso, cappucino, etc..... Designed to serve right to your car to avoid the cold. The places usually hire beautiful young women to serve you since you can only see the person from the waist up. They actually even have calendars for sale of "the women of the coffeeshops." Aside from the scenery, coffee is required to stay awake when the dark months creep in.

    Local market of choice
    by katmai
    Locals appreciate the espresso, pastries, and gourmet food choices of New Sagaya markets. There are two located in Anchorage. At the downtown location a quaint seating area is set up outdoors to enjoy the beautiful, Alaskan, summer sunshine.

    We Don't live in Igloos

    An Igloo
    by kaloz
    There are many misconceptions about Alaska. One is that we all live in Igloos. We Don't! The only igloos you will see (outside of gift shops) are the ones at the airport used for hauling mail and freight on airplanes.

    We were on our way to Earthquake Park and I just had to stop and get this photo of an Igloo in Alaska.

    We live in a beautiful place, and don't want it mussed up by thoughtless people who litter, so please find an trash recepticle for any unwanted items.

    This dumpster is located at the House of Harley, and is the prettiest darn dumpster I have ever seen!

    Young Male Moose in South
    Anchorage
    by AlexisElizabeth
    You might be more likely to see a moose by accident than when you are looking for one! They often wander into town and you could encounter them in the strangest places...by the side of the road, downtown, next to an office building, outside the window at a restaurant you're sitting in. They really are incredible creatures that manage to pull off a mix of awkwardness and grace in their manner/movements at the same time.

    Despite being the largest city in Alaska, wildlife is never far away. I ran across this moose with her fawn one morning.
