Anchorage Alaska Real Estate 907-720-4663

The economy in Alaska is based upon many things. But let's not be foolish, we all know the main source of jobs in the great state of Alaska is oil based. We know that oil production and oil availability has declined by 50%. I am wondering what we as Alaskans are going to do to keep up w/ job losses when the oil industry goes away..... 

If oil jobs dissapear, will alot of our population leave the state? This just made me think... what can we do in Alaska to make our state sustainable??? Let's sustain our future and jobs so that people can still make a living here. Let's sustain our economy!

You know summer is here in Anchorage when driving around downtown is a challenge. The challenge being all the people walking around having a good time. Whether they are there to shop at the local stores or taste the fine foods (crab legs, beer battered halibut) and beers, it doesn't matter. Summer is a time for people to get out and take advantage of as much sunlight as they possibly can before fall is here and hibernation begins.

One of the events I look forward to each year is the local farmers market that is located in Downtown Anchorage. At the farmers market you can find fresh, locally grown produce and exotic items from other parts of the world. There is free music and dancing and also lots of attractions for children.  The Anchorage Market and Festival is open every Saturday and Sunday from 10 am-6 p.m until September 13, 2009. So fellow Alaskans and visitors, Get out there and enjoy the summer! See you at the Market!
