    The Dashboard Diaries #1: Greenville, SC May 19, 2025   Alaska feels a bit removed from the rest of the United States because it is separated from the contiguous 48 states by a minimum of 500 mile.

    The neighborhood of Fairview, on the Northside of Anchorage, is considered one of Anchorage's original four neighborhoods along with Downtown, South Addition and Mountain View.  However, what is less known is that Fairview was once its own individual town independent of Anchorage. Today most Anchorage residents don't think about Fairview too much. In fact most residents only interact with this neighborhood when driving through the Ingra / Gambell corridor that connects the Seward Highway running South and the Glenn Highway running North. On this episode we are focusing on Fairview. We are not just passing through on the highway, but stopping to hear about the past, present and future of this community in Anchorage. https://fairviewak.org/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/215963548248/ https://www.communitycouncils.org/servlet/content/14.html   #anchoredcity https://anchorageutc.org https://www.facebook.com/AnchorageUTC @AnchorageUTC   Resources Used to Make This Episode: https://www.alaska.org/guide/anchorages-four-original-neighborhoods https://www.alaska.org/detail/fairview-neighborhood https://media.alaskapublic.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/BGES-Fairview-Historical-Survey-Final-Report.pdf

    In April of 2023 Anchorage Voters passed Proposition 14 by a 12-point margin. That proposition dedicates marijuana tax money to child care and early child care education – estimated to be between $4 & $6 million per year. These funds seem to come at just the right time. Due to the scarcity of programs as well as the cost of care and lack of high-quality child care means that 51% of Alaskan families cannot fully participate in the labor force. And even when families can participate the costs are high with many child care spots costing up to $1800 per month in Anchorage. In Alaska, child care can account for up to 15% of parents' income. On this episode I am joined by members of the Anchorage Child Care and Early Education Fund implementation team to discuss how the Anchorage Child Care and Early Education Fund is being implemented and the marijuana tax funds used to address the needs of families and child care workers in Anchorage.   https://www.careforkidsanchorage.com   https://www.muni.org/Departments/health/Pages/default.aspx https://www.facebook.com/ancpublichealth https://www.instagram.com/ancpublichealth/   https://www.muni.org/Departments/Assembly/Pages/default.aspx https://www.facebook.com/pages/Anchorage-Municipal-Assembly/388908687838651   https://www.asdk12.org/school_board/   https://www.alaskachildrenstrust.org/ https://www.facebook.com/alaskachildrenstrust https://www.instagram.com/alaskachildrenstrust/   https://www.anchoragechamber.org/ https://www.facebook.com/AnchorageChamber https://www.instagram.com/anchoragechamber

    The Westchester Lagoon area has been the home for winter sports since before the Lagoon even existed. Near Westchester Lagoon, just up the hill to the south was a hot spot for sports and social life in Anchorage during the years following World War II. Winter sports – both competitive and social - bring people together in the dark cold winter months to help pass the time, keep folks active and fit when our internal clocks are telling them to sit, and to build community. This is the first of an occasional series we are starting on winter sports.

    People facing homelessness are in a vulnerable situation that makes them susceptible to human trafficking. On this episode we are talking to FBI Victim Specialist, Erin Terry about human trafficking in Anchorage and Alaska.   @FBIAnchorage   #anchoredcity   Where can a victim of human trafficking go for help?  People who are or believe they may be victims of human trafficking may call or text the National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline at 888-373-7888. This hotline helps connect callers to anti-trafficking services in the area. The hotline is not a government entity or law enforcement or immigration authority.
