Wow!! Please keep watching for ways to help these fellow Alaskans in this time of need. This also means a lot of pets will be needing foster homes, so please reach out to some pet foster groups to see if they need help.

Community Alert:

As of 10/15/2025, 12noon, the Anchorage Emergency Operations Center is activated to a LEVEL 3 in support of the mass evacuations out of Western Alaska and into Anchorage due to the recent storms. LEVEL 3 means there is a situation or threat that has developed requiring a partial activation of the EOC, which may extend beyond the regular workday and require around-the-clock monitoring. Staffing at the EOC is being supplemented by other departments and agencies. This is an evolving and ongoing response effort. More information will be provided as it becomes available.

Let's help out our friends at The Dirty Apron!!! Thanks everyone!!

This morning we walked into something hard — two of our front windows were smashed by vandals overnight. It’s a big hit for a small business like ours, and yeah… it hurts.

We’re safe, but we’re sad. This space is built on care, community, and connection — and we’re not letting this break that.

We’re not asking for donations, but if you’ve been thinking of stopping by (come get soup!), taking a class, or sending a friend our way — now’s the time.

Your support helps us patch the glass and keep the heart of this place beating.

Thanks for showing up for us. Always.
💔➡️❤️‍🩹

With gratitude (and a broom in hand),
Amy and Geary
The Dirty Apron & The Pizza Box

BREAKING NEWS: NO DOUBT are set to headline the Las Vegas Sphere!

The Gwen Stefani fronted band, who recently reunited for the first time in 9 years at Coachella in 2024, are gearing up for a six show residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, according to TMZ.

While no dates have officially been announced, the band are reportedly set to play the unique venue in May 2026.

No Doubt would be the first female-led act to perform at the Sphere, which has previously hosted concerts for U2, the Eagles, the Backstreet Boys, Dead & Company, and Phish.

Following No Doubt’s 2024 Coachella performance, they reunited again at the FireAid benefit in January 2025 to help raise funds for the victims of the devastating Los Angeles area fires.
