Entertainment & Activities
Walk or bike up the "West High Hill" that borders Minnesota Ave (on the trail system) or the "Spenard Road Hill" bordering Spenard (also on the trail system) for a unique experience watching a second-run movie with first-rate pizza, burritos, and sandwich food and great beer in comfy theater seats with tables. The adjacent Bear Tooth Grill is a favorite restaurant with slightly more upscale Mexican, Asian, and fusion fare, often using local ingredients. Try the Banh Mi (spicy) Burger or the Mexi Combo Plate. Save room for the Chocolate Mousse!

Sightseeing
My favorite spot to watch the sunset over Cook Inlet and Mt. Susitna (Sleeping Lady) across the water. Park off to the right just above the train tracks. Or just walk.
