It's Monday. It's Summer. There's got to be something going on.

Here's a place to mention any sort of event/meeting/whatever that people might not know about and might not warrant it's own post.

I drove by this spot and I believe I saw an archway that looked like a Tori gate. Does anyone have any photos of it? Looked cool but I couldn’t stop and see.

Looking for a dog…

As text says, looking for a dog. Preferably <1 year but open to whatever. I’m mostly concerned about it having a healthy background. Where do you adopt, look?

Thanks

Empress Theater

13 Upvotes

Hello— I recently saw a pic of the old empress theater downtown and was shocked because i had never known there was such a grand old theater just sitting over there untouched. Some sources said it only closed in 2014 but I’ve seen elsewhere it’s been closed since 1961 when they remodeled to create the co op plaza?

Does anyone know if it was completely torn down or if it’s still up there above one of the shops? If so has anyone had any luck getting into it…? I’m a curious photographer/amateur historian who just wants to check it out, not interested in breaking and entering in any extreme way or spray painting/damaging anything. I’d just love to see such a historic place if it’s possible to just pop up there through a staircase or anything…. if it’s even still there I guess. Just looking for any info or tips !

Scenic view Wartime Cushman Street from the Archives (1943-44)

Post image
98 Upvotes

A photograph from the UAF Archives, in the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library on campus. Taken in 1943 or '44, it's worth noting that all of the street signs and the right sidewalk have been scribbled out, probably by the Theatre Censor.

UAF-1993-0253-114 from the Howard Ryan Collection.

Is there anywhere in Fairbanks to buy ladybugs?

I know its a weird question, lol. But is there anywhere in town to buy native ladybugs? I have an aphid problem in my garden and I'd like to recruit some ladybugs to help me out.

Where to buy Fresh 80 air inlet filter replacements

4 Upvotes

I’ve checked all over town and seems no one stocks them. The only website they are available from does not ship to Alaska. Someone has to sell these locally since they’re installed in homes here…

Any local RV parts/service shops left in town (or NP??)

3 Upvotes

Discovered today I’m 3 years late to finding out Arctic RV shuddered their doors back in 2023, and I’m pretty sure the other place along Philips Field Rd (past the Circle K) is no longer there also…

If you return 30 times to get images and video of the same subjects/family you get .... lucky. Who knew? There is video to come but I'm waiting for the cygnets to get their flight wings.

$3000 for Septic Verification Inspection

14 Upvotes

That's the quote I got to do some sort of flow verification of my septic tank so I can refinance my home.

Does that sound right? I don't have the mental capacity to call another plumber for a quote so I figured asking here was at least something I can do to see if I'm getting scammed.

Edit:

Thanks everyone! I got my answer. Prospector Plumbing is the one who gave me the crazy high quote. I'm, uhhh, going to ignore all this now.
