BTS: 29 – Not Just Passing Through Fairview w/ Allen Kemplen, Bryan Hawkins & Lindsey Hajduk

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.
