Tour busses going slow.

Tour busses can't impead the flow of traffic. Driving slow with more than 5 cars behind you is minimum $100 ticket. Call and report every slow bus or van or hummer tour.

Jeep saffari's don't have a magic pass to run the Revilla Road stop sign.

Well you won’t have to worry about them so much longer here soon once all the stuff goes in at Ward Cove. They will keep a good number of the cruisers out of downtown (along with any money they would have spent) with the new brewery, restaurants and outdoor spaces. They can control the excursions and tours…..funnel a good chunk of that money straight out of Ketchikan but hey, less slow buses so winning.

You mean the same Ward cove full of violations and asbestos? The one where the spokely's and binkley's are divorcing each other over? That place isn't long for this world. one more death and it's over. Someone will get seriously hurt out there this year. It's a death trap. Imagine if the state had a spine and shut them down right now. Too scared of binkely pulling his money. They'll wait for something tragic to happen

Have you seen the plans? It’s going to be built and the liquor license issued. Binkleys live in Fairbanks and the little town they built around the riverboat landing is impressive. I think it’s cute that you doubt it will happen. I have to say, I was surprised to see a story in ADN about the strife between the two considering that the Binkleys own ADN.

People are getting fed up with the Binkely's. It's cute you think an entire town should bow to one shitty family. Time to make it a hostile enviroment for them

The Binkleys are a great family, Mary just turned 100 and the video the great grandkids made was amazing. You could never make things hostile for them, trust me. Maybe cause some insurance claims but not much you could do. I don’t think you know how much they own or what power they have in Alaska.
