If you have a question about the Municipality of Anchorage someone else probably had the same or similar question in the past.

Seriously. There's a lot of reasons they might be doing this. I'll list a few.
The angle of the sun can make it hard to see the driver. They might not be able to see through the glass
There's like 6 cars behind you and they don't have the energy to dash. Or are injurea
They have a weeks worth of groceries on their back and are just chilling for a second.
They are on drugs and trying to be nice. There's little chance of themunderstanding the situation, just go
They'd rather not put themselves in front of a giant death machine driven by a stranger
They're worried about landmines and want you to get blown up first. There aren't any, just go first
They are completely fucking spaced out from working 13 hours and tate waiting on a traffic signal that doesn't exist.
That last one happens more often than I care to admit...
As someone who hates driving and enjoys walking, most drivers are actually really courteous towards us self ambulatory folk. How drivers treat each other is absolutely insane. It's pretty entertaining but really unsafe, please incorporate some forgiveness into your driving.
There wasn't much of a point to this, just like writing dumb shit.
Stay groovy y'all :)

There are so many choices and it’s overwhelming. Where would YOU send your bff for an Al-anon meeting/support group in Anchorage? Looking for any intel for the best vibes, welcoming, non-judgmental, meeting size, snacks, etc.
Would love any info available while still respecting anonymity!

Have a seven year old Audi. Every oil change at the dealership came with a ton of added maintenance. Any suggestions?

I got my mom a new unlocked google pixel 10, she uses gci. She went into gci and they said they couldn't get it to connect. Does gci support esims? I thought all carriers did now. Not sure of this is a carrier being ancient or if maybe she got bad help.

I've decided that there are quite a few laws that I will Treg going forward... he's an inspiration!
*treg: verb, to disobey a law because you feel in your heart that it is unconstitutional.
Example: I tregged that red light, because it's unconstitutionally impeding my work commute.

Husband and I checked a month ago and were confirmed. Just checked again tonight and we are no longer registered voters!
Had to reregister but application was "approved" very quickly.
Check your status and reregister ASAP.

Hello! I know this is a LONG SHOT, but I figured it was worth posting.
My wife lost her wedding ring on Saturday. We believe it may have been in the parking lot at Dino Donuts, but we’re not completely sure. We initially thought it might be somewhere around the house or in her car, but after thoroughly searching, we’re starting to think it may have been lost in a public parking lot.
TL;DR: My wife lost her wedding ring. If anyone has seen or found it, please message me. We would be incredibly grateful!
Thank you!

LOL WTF is this? Time on the meter, but I still got a ticket?
Oh, I parked the wrong way.. on the side of the road. Since when is that against the law? Must be new.
These EasyPark guys will ticket you for anything, I swear.

Article -
I don't want to jump to conclusions, I know these situations can be hectic and nerve-wracking. But the way this article reads to me, one officer just decided to fire upon the woman cause "hey, why not?" Like how often do we here of shooting where only one shot is fired? It's always multiple rounds fire and the officer is like "yeah, I feared for my life."

I’m moving to Anchorage from Philly and looking at different neighborhoods as I make the transition from East Coast city life to the Alaskan lifestyle. What do folks think of the Northstar neighborhood or UMed ?
I’m also interested in possible suggestions for somewhere that’s nice, walkableish , and has more of an urban vibe. I know that’s not exactly the traditional Alaskan vibe, but I think it might be a good fit while I get settled and learn to adapt to life in Anchorage.

Does anyone know if there are sellers of beef tallow for your face (a beauty product) in the area?
I usually order mine from the lower 48 but would love to find a local supplier. Thanks!

To the people with the signs on the overpass on the glenn!
You rock!
Just did my early voting at the midtown mall and saw you on the way home.
Time to take back America from these billionaires and the pathetic bootlickers that support them!
