Print and Save - Anchorage - Part 2
Last month, general advice about Anchorage; this month, some details. Due to space limitation, it represents but a tiny portion of what I would like to convey, and is a bit terse. Please visit my website, www.driftersister.com, for the unabridged version.

TIPS:
- The grid: 4th & 5th Avenues, between B and G Streets
- Travel in groups at night if possible; be mindful of panhandlers
- Bus rides cost $1.25; seniors (60+) ride for 25¢; driver doesn’t always tell you; just flash driver’s license
- Avoid Alaska Experience Theater (6th <G&H>) – Cheap little thrill ride not worth the cost. Do visit their 1964 Good Friday Earthquake museum (FREE), and nice little gift shop; just don’t pay to go into the ‘ride.’
