ANCHORAGE — When you see those big cargo jets rumbling low over Anchorage, heading into Ted Stevens International Airport, think of them as big tubes stuffed with money.They carry all kinds of things, of course – express packages, your orders from Amazon, clothing, even animals. But those planes translate to big bucks arriving in Anchorage, in jobs, hotel rooms, spending in local restaurants.“The airport is a big source of job growth, and it helps stabilize other parts of the economy,” says Bil..>> view originalAnchorage Mayor apologizes for comments regarding crime

But one that came to my attention Wednesday on the "sportiest cities in America" intrigued me because of the weird list of cities that resulted.

As someone who is constantly inundated with pitches and lists about where Minneapolis-St. Paul ranks in this category or that one, I consider myself somewhat of a gatekeeper. Most of these offerings are well-meaning, but the majority aren’t worth further distribution. But one that came to my attention today on the “sportiest cities in America” — seems more interesting than most for two reasons: the methodology and the weird list that it ended up producing.

It is downright miraculous that we can catch trout and salmon in Anchorage. These fish species are extremely sensitive to habitat disturbance, which is why salmon have vanished from most West Coast streams and hardly any large cities in America have self-sustaining trout populations. Fortunately, Anchorage’s streams do have healthy trout and salmon populations, and Mayor Berkowitz and the municipality’s staff are working to protect those fish populations in the face of climate change and other ..>> view originalAnchorage mayor apologizes for remark about city's safety after ...
Anchorage Mayor Ethan Berkowitz apologized Wednesday for what he characterized as an "insensitive comment" he made after three people died in a shooting in a shop in Spenard. In a brief interview with Alaska Dispatch News at Tuesday's Anchorage Assembly meeting, Berkowitz, without commenting specifically on the Spenard shooting, tried to indicate that most of Anchorage's slayings this year were not random crimes. "I understand the concern; we've got our work cut out for us," Berkowitz s..>> view originalUPDATE: Victim in Aurora Paint Co. homicide identified

How about this for a headline: “Woman Engages in Personal Protest.”No, that’s not it. It can be it, but the article would have to work too hard to explain why it justified the title.
