“Are you downtown by chance? We’re having a pop-up party at the 4th ave theater. With chalk!”
Month: July 2014
Ship Creek Boat Launch
Drive across the railroad tracks and wind your way through towers of colorful shipping containers. At the end of the road you’ll find the the Ship Creek small boat launch.
Love Note: Colorful Graffiti
I don’t always love graffiti – in fact, there are plenty of times that it just doesn’t belong. But this lookout shack (if that’s what it is!) down by the Ship Creek boat launch sits all alone, and the graffiti side looks out at the ocean. I can see how it’s the perfect canvas.
Happy Fourth of July!
Design Detail: Alleyway Tile
Sometimes when I walk downtown, I like to take the alleyways instead of the main streets. Often, this means I get to say hi to kitchen staff on their smoke breaks or skirt stinky dumpsters, but sometimes it means I get to see a special detail like this tile adorning the backside of the Muffin Man (a former tile shop).
Do you have a favorite Anchorage alleyway?
Fat Ptarmigan Ice Cream Shop
I just discovered that Fat Ptarmigan added an ice cream counter to their already fantastic combo of wood-fired pizza and espresso (not to mention the best caprese and canolis in town!).
Love Note: Random Tortoise
Happened upon this little guy munching on grass and clover in my neighbor’s yard today. So random, such a surprise. If turtles had facial expressions, I’d say he looked happy…
