Lavelle’s Replacement?
Last time I was in Fairbanks, I saw something new going into the old Lavelles. Does anyone know what it’s going to be called and if it’s open yet?

Alright, from now through the end of this election cycle, we've decided to cram all things political into one spot!
In this one spot every week feel free to share any news, events, links, topics, slander, whatever specifically related to politics your happy lil' heart desires.
That said, a couple things-
We're loosening the rules a little bit- topics need not be related to Fairbanks specifically, but they must pertain to (at the bare minimum) Alaska. National politics has no place here.
We'll be monitoring this thread much closer than we do anything else. Civility will be enforced at the point of the ever-pleasant mod shaped ban-hammer. Please be excellent to each other, so that your friendly neighborhood unpaid mod staff don't have to be dicks to you.
Reports that are only because you don't agree with somebody else's viewpoint are going to be ignored.
Remember folks, we all live in this tiny town together. Pretend for a moment that you're talking to your neighbor (hell, you might be)- not just a faceless blob in the internet.

We, your friendly unpaid neighborhood mod-shaped despots, have unilaterally decided that it was time for a new rule!
Introducing, Rule 7! No AI Generated Content!
Due to the overwhelming rise of AI sweeping the general hellscape that is the internet in the modern era, we've deemed it necessary to put our feet down here. Fairbanks isn't a place for the lazy, it isn't a place for the half-assed, and it certainly isn't a place that should be willing to replace actual human creativity/ingenuity with AI generated garbage.
As the rule states, for your first strike "your" content will simply be removed. Any removals past that will result in a permanent ban, and we will derisively laugh at you if you attempt to appeal.
Kthxbye.

Help!
I’ve fallen down my stairs like 4 times already.
What can I do that’s not pressure washing that will make them not so slick? I’m not sure how much more my shins can take.
Thanks!

Title. Looking for Fairbanks restaurants with private meeting rooms for a professional type dinner. I’m not finding much at all. Any ideas?

I know this is a huge long shot in Fairbanks, but my partner is newly sober and I love halloween. I finally convinced him to dress up with me and we thought we would go to a bar or party, then he decided to stop drinking. I am proud of him and want to support his choice, and he thinks going to a bar would be too tempting. Someplace that serves alcohol would probably be okay, just not somewhere where the entire point is to drink (like a bar).

Hey everyone! I'm looking for recommendations on where to find some good quality beaver mushing mittens and/or a beaver fur hat.
I'll be coming up from North Carolina to the Fairbanks area in November to start working at a kennel and I've been trying to get all my cold weather gear together before making the trip.
I came across Boundary Fur Sewing and absolutely fell in love with her work, but unfortunately she's backed up with orders into 2027!
Does anyone know of any other local makers or shops around Fairbanks that sell something similar? I'd love to support a local furrier!

Who are you? What are we doing? How did we get here?
I picked up around 5 dozen shells this weekend on a local beach. Sharp, firm plastic blastoids. These are so ripe for cutting someone’s foot or shearing a dog paw.
What are you doing? How did we get here?
Hunt as you want, but be responsible and respectful. Or maybe you’re the kind that doesn’t care.
I believe in you to do better for us, for your community.

It's Monday. Summer is winding down. Time to start thinking about doing all of the "getting ready for winter" you've been putting off all season. Time to be filled with existential dread for the cold darkness that will soon enough envelop us all...
So, in the spirit of ignoring that here's a place to mention any sort of event/meeting/whatever that people might not know about and might not warrant it's own post. Hopefully somebody has the something to help you keep procrastinating!

Free hot soup and drinks, a sock drive, speakers, and a chance to verify your voter registration and make sure you know where early and regular voting are taking place. Bring a sign, or just come see the spectacle.
Saturday, October 17th from 12-2, along Cushman Street in front of City Hall and Veterans Park in Downtown Fairbanks.

Ok, so recently I've been craving a good drink with my dinner. My preference is cocktails or mixed drinks. Sadly, my exploration of my go to good eats places has led to pretty somber results. I was initially avoiding bar kitchens because there food tends to rely too much on salt and one dimensional flavorings, but given the slim pickings I'm no longer opposed. I'm looking for recommendations!
Here's what I've already tried:
Places that are on my radar:
So, any other recommendations?? Prefer actual restaurant sit down style with cocktails and mixed drinks!

A group of Alaska locals (mostly Anchorage and some in Fairbanks) have started up a Discord community specifically for people planning on playing WoW: Forever! If you're looking to make some friends and build some community in Alaska, feel free to DM for a link or let me know in the comments :)

I'm somewhat new around here but wanted to ask, how do you get to be able to actually sit during Ice Dogs games? The two games I attended I had to stand in the very back because all seats were taken, the only ones open were marked "reserved." Sorry this seems like a dumb question. I know I could get there super early, is that the only way? I get off work at a time where I woukd arrive kind of just on time. Am I missing something? Thanks

Trying to find Housesitter for the winter months and was thinking grad students are probably mature enough to live in and maintain a house and probably could use free accommodation in exchange for house sitting to go to UAF, and leave for the summer. Has anyone done this and how did you advertise to grad students?
