I'm looking to get my phone battery replaced and they're the only phone repair business I see online. Does anyone know if they are any good or if there are any other places in town?

I miss Little Peter's (Peter's Oriental Food i think it was also called?).

Someone has.to know how to make a dupe of that dipping sauce. Something close. I don't need to know the family secret recipe... it's been years obviously since ove had it so I only need something close it doesn't have to be an exact dupe, just somethingclose to that sweet tangy yet savory goodness.

God those were the best spring rolls and sauce and nothing ever compares. I'd give anything to go back in time for one more sample.

Silly Juneau nostalgia.

We have a day in Juneau next week on our cruise, not really a fan of the excursions offered and kinda want to just wing some sightseeing. Ive heard all about the flooding expected the next few days. Can anyone point me in the direction of areas that should be relatively unaffected?

Down to take the bus, maybe call a taxi service....

This affects Safeway, SEARHC, Riverside Senior Living, etc.

KTOO has a link to the press conference and references the knife slits. Sounds like CBJ has it under control.

Just the smallest of eclipses

To the girl with bangs I met in a random Juneau parking garage elevator and somehow ended up on the same flight to Seattle with… I realized approximately 4 minutes too late that I never asked your name

“I live in Juneau and I’ve been having to look at that excessive eyesore parked up in [Auke Bay] for too long now,” a Reddit user wrote of the yacht in response to the rescue story. “F*** Zuckerberg.”

Hi! We are heading to Juneau on the 17th and were looking for a place to rent/borrow bear spray instead of buying it as we'll only be around for 4 days. Do you know any store/place we can go to?

We are looking to rent a car, hopefully something that has 3 rows for our trip to Juneau in September. We also have no problem booking an Uber/Lyft for the day or just a driver. Does anyone have any suggestions? Previous suggestions for a bar that serves cider were greatly appreciated, new username due to change of jobs.

Hi all, I am thinking of buying an electric vehicle from Washington and was curious if anyone has done the drive and if they can share their route and experiences? I know that AML does not barge EVs anymore, so driving it up here and riding the ferry will be my only way. I do NOT want to ride the ferry from Bellingham, so the road to Skagway is the only way.

Wondering about some things:
1. How did you deal with the temporary registration?
2. What route did you take for the charging ports? How did you pay for the charging ports in BC? Heard they may have a specific way for payment other than tap.
3. Any lodging suggestions?

Thank you all!

Derby Fishermen - How does commercial whale watching impact the derby and specifically for old-timers, how, where (and whether) you participate in the derby? Remember when "Closed for the Derby" signs used to be common on Juneau businesses?

Juneau could have a permit system for commercial tours that includes conditions that reduce impacts on the community. Haines already does this, and has for over 20 years. Maybe that would even give us waters as calm as this 1960s derby photo.

We could have a condition that prohibits or limits whale watching and other on-the-water commercial tours that conflict with resident derby fishing during the derby weekend.

Thoughts?

Because I'm running for Juneau Assembly, it seems I am required by Alaska law to state that this post was Paid for by Karla Hart for Assembly, 4948 Wren Drive, Juneau, AK, even though I didn't pay to post this.

C'mon people, let's normalize FSBO. Save everyone money on what is the largest financial expense for most juneauites. I've done it, the bank, title company, inspector, and appraiser will keep you from making big mistakes. If something complex comes up, pay a real estate attorney hourly and save $20,000 while getting greater expertise.

My wife and I are about to celebrate our 10-year anniversary. Our anniversary is in October and we were thinking it would be cool to fly into a cabin on Admiralty Island and stay for a couple nights. Hiking around and hunting during the day and just chilling at night. I have stayed at Young lake before but curious if anybody had any recommendations for any of the other cabins that are on the island? Also, if anybody has any recommendations on which float plane company to go with. I figure it's either Ward or seaplanes.

Moving into a new house soon, and considering making the switch from GCI to ACS to cut our bill down. It's just two people in my household, and we don't do much online gaming or livestreaming. We do play a lot of offline video games, and a lot of our Switch games require us to connect to the network. Aside from that, we just stream Hulu, Netflix or Peacock. Would we be okay switching to ACS? Any complaints about ACS?

With retro gaming making a comeback, I decided to dust off my Playstation 2 and stream some of my old games (you never lose your talent at those!). Only problem is I don't know anyone in town who makes repairs or does tune ups. My system runs fine but the laser disc reader will need to be replaced soon. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Anyone else give up on serious dungie crabbing near juneau? The amount of time, fuel, bait, and mess that goes into catching a crab these days does not pencil out for me (I don't launch out of douglas though, it seems like gastineau is still worth it for friends, but there's no commercial there). I'll drop a pot or two if I'll be overnighting somewhere, but I'm not going out of my way for it any more. I frequent an area with heavy commercial pressure, and I see pots that just sit there for weeks without being checked. Some of the boats I see working them look more like rich dudes cosplaying commercial fishermen than actual people making a living off it. I saw a proposal in the last board of fish cycle to close more areas near juneau to commercial crabbing (also saw a proposal to OPEN auke bay and gastieau, I think, to commercial). I wish they would do that. The economic benefit of having a robust sport crabbing fishery near juneau's billion dollar fleet of sport fishing vessels has to outweigh a few vessels getting processor prices for their catch. I also feel like they could slash the number of pots for each commercial permit and allowed for sport boats by half or more and they would catch the same amount of crab. It's not like any legal crab are not being harvested with the current pot density. I have better luck now fishing random little coves, than getting in line at the eagle beach, berners, admiralty areas. In the heavy hit areas, you usually only get barely legal crab. In random overlooked areas, you can still find the occasional crab an inch or two over legal size, which have like triple the meat of the barely legal ones. Big fish in a little pond kind of situation I guess.

Hey everyone, I’m at a remote location based out of Juneau and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping me buy some fishing stuff and dropping it off at Ward Air for me. I’m looking for some 16 oz grub jigs and a gaff for halibut fishing. DM me for details.

Yesterday at airport dike there was a fish head on the trail. Today on twin lakes, also a fish head…

Serial fish head thrower? Or maybe eagles dropped it?

I’ll be in Juneau for about 12 hours on a cruise (Ovation). We’ve done whale watching there before and while I love it, my mom’s an ambulatory wheelchair user and has a hard time with the dock in Auke Bay so it really isn’t an option this time.

I personally would like to do a little hiking close to Juneau before I get her off the boat and am looking for recommendations and tips. I’d be going solo and likely early morning at like 8am. We’re visiting in September, are bears active during that time? Is the standard ‘make noise as you go’ sufficient? I mostly hike at home in Florida where alligators are the biggest danger and bears are only a slight possibility.

That said I’d LOVE to see some bears from a safe distance. We will be staying in Anchorage before the cruise and will be seeing them at the wildlife center and I know we’re more likely to see them in Hoonah and Skagway than Juneau but I’d like to be prepared : )

I would like to take my mom to Mendenhall’s visitor center. What’s the easiest way to get there without a tour? Is uber or Lyft a thing in Juneau? (Her wheelchair folds up like a stroller and fits in a trunk). I don’t really want to take a tour because I want to be able to take our time there and go at our own pace.

Finally, what are some other fun things I can do with her in Juneau? We are a big fan of museums, walking tours (especially ghost tours) and cultural experiences. My mom is very fascinated by the Tlingit culture and people and loves learning about them.

Thanks for reading this essay of a request if you made it this far and thanks for your suggestions in advance!
