Loved when winter gave in to spring. Hitchhiked with my best friend into Anchorage from Chugiak to get some new Jack Purcell's and check out the latest clothes at Penneys. In the early sixties it was time to spend the allowance we received on A&W burgers and root beer in Mt. View. We all got to spread our wings come springtime.
Cars, Dances and Burgers! All had fun in Anchorage back then. Yep, just around the corner was Spring filled with blooming flowers and trees. And shopping for our cool Ked's tennis shoes!
Wonderful reading about this Anchorage history. I didn't know that about The Book Cache. Remember going there every year on our band trips from Bethel to Anchorage from 1969-1972 to go into a real bookstore! We would also get to the Sears Mall and Penny's too. Great memories I will always treasure!!
