I had a picture of the Portage sign, 11 Friendly People, 1 Old Sorehead. Passed it by many times on my way to weekends in Homer. But not before stopping for lunch at the Double Musky Inn. Loved it and the picture and the story. Great job Mike
In November of 1964 our high school basketball team traveled to Kenai for two games. None of us had been on the Seward Highway since the earthquake. There was alot of chatter and laughter which became silent when we approached what used to be Portage. It was gone and left us speechless even after 8 months since the quake. We had lost a little town and only had memories of going there in the past. Had a few meals at the restaurant there after hooligan fishing with dad and brothers in the years before the quake.
common "joke" in Anchorage as answer to "What were you doing during the Quake".....Standing on the corner watching all the stores go by.... And now I'm reliving that moment of my life.
Yes, I do because we are part of the history. Being former owners and residents of Portage Alaska.
