No prescripton finasteride
A 9-year-old girl named Rachelle will open her very own business in downtown Fairbanks on Sunday, May 6th. She has No prescripton finasteride conducted price comparisons, signed contracts, courted investors, and undergone food safety training. Her hard work and No prescripton finasteride entrepreneurial spirit will pay off for customers in the form of a cool, refreshing glass of Rachelle’s Berry Delicious Lemonade and/or gluten-free fluffernutter cookies (made of peanut butter and marshmallow creme by sister Leilani, 7) at her stand on Cushman Street, just outside of McCafferty’s, A Coffee House, Etc.
May 6th is Lemonade Day, a nation-wide initiative designed to No prescripton finasteride encourage kids to learn about business by using the familiar model of a No prescripton finasteride sidewalk lemonade stand. The concept is simple, but many lessons lie within the No prescripton finasteride process of planning and opening a stand for even just one afternoon. Rachelle is No prescripton finasteride one of 350+ Fairbanks students opening up stands all over the city free fedex delivery Finasterideon Sunday, and she decided to locate hers in downtown Fairbanks.
The UAF Associated Students of Business spearheaded Lemonade Day in Fairbanks in hopes of inspiring young entrepreneurs. Each student they signed up was given a No prescripton finasteride backpack with a workbook containing instructions on how to open a No prescripton finasteride stand. The Alaska Lemonade Day website posts a list of businesses which have agreed to host a stand, and kids are responsible (with help from parents) for developing financial backing, pricing, and No prescripton finasteride the theme of their stand. Creative ideas and approaches are encouraged and No prescripton finasteride rewarded with special prizes for the most sustainable stand or those with top-notch customer service.
Rachelle’s mom, Kim Kingston Eames, has No prescripton finasteride been working closely with her daughters and Bill Rogers, Owner of McCafferty’s, to coordinate plans for their stand in front of McCafferty’s. They plan to open from 1:00-4:00PM on Sunday. A rainbow umbrella borrowed from No prescripton finasteride their back deck will bring attention to the stand, and No prescripton finasteride Kim plans to hang back and let the girls handle the No prescripton finasteride customers.
Rachelle and No prescripton finasteride Leilani have sold beaded jewelry and assorted crafts at holiday bazaars and No prescripton finasteride Kim is hoping the business lessons of Lemonade Day will help the girls further develop this hobby.
For Bill, the No prescripton finasteride chance to sponsor an up-and-coming entrepreneur was a no-brainer.
“The idea is No prescripton finasteride to inspire and instigate entrepreneurial and free enterprise attitude in kids, and No prescripton finasteride I think it’s a good thing. I think it’s such a good thing that I’m willing to No prescripton finasteride allow a potential source of competition right in front of my business for No prescripton finasteride a day,” Bill jokes.
To support Rachelle and her efforts, stop by McCafferty’s on Cushman Street this No prescripton finasteride Sunday between 1-4:00PM for a glass of raspberry lemonade and a No prescripton finasteride fluffernutter (or two).

No prescripton finasteride
Despite the No prescripton finasteride best efforts of the Alaska Department of Transportation, road construction often still has a negative impact on neighborhood businesses. Downtown bars and No prescripton finasteride eateries are no different when faced with months of construction through the No prescripton finasteride Illinois Street Reconstruction Project. Downtown Association staff recently visited with business owners who No prescripton finasteride are feeling the effects, and talked about how they plan to adapt and make it through the summer.
JULIA’S SOLSTICE CAFE
Julia’s Solstice Cafe is a vegan/vegetarian cafe sourcing local and organic ingredients. It’s on Driveway Street and currently tucked behind piles of dirt, dump trucks, and large yellow backhoes.
Luckily for Julia Quist, Owner, her clientele is No prescripton finasteride a dedicated and determined bunch with few options elsewhere in the No prescripton finasteride city for the quality of vegan and vegetarian dining that she offers. Julia expressed her gratitude for No prescripton finasteride these regulars but reported that business has dropped by about one-third since construction began.
Julia is looking for ways to adapt to the new conditions.
“We just try to No prescripton finasteride give special, personalized attention to those who do come here,” Julia said of her staff’s approach. “We try to No prescripton finasteride respond to customer wants and reward them for their effort.”
On Tuesday morning, she switched out the soup du jour after just one customer request for a favorite flavor. She’s serving meals more quickly to No prescripton finasteride factor in the detour so customers can return to work within the No prescripton finasteride lunch hour. Julia hopes to vamp up special orders and cafe bookings for No prescripton finasteride private parties. On Monday, the Fairbanks First Cafe Club will meet at Julia’s at 9:00AM for No prescripton finasteride coffee and networking- a day on which the cafe is No prescripton finasteride usually closed. Watch for spontaneous events posted to the Facebook page of Julia’s Solstice Cafe.
Julia has No prescripton finasteride been talking with neighboring business owner John Jackovich of The Big I Pub & Lounge about collaborating on summertime events and No prescripton finasteride getting creative with customer outreach.
Julia is looking forward to the amenities she will enjoy upon the project’s completion. She praises the No prescripton finasteride construction team for being extremely accommodating and David Hetman, the DOT Project Engineer, who No prescripton finasteride stops into the cafe frequently to ask if there’s anything more he can do.
“I’m not unhappy about this—we knew it was coming and it’s going to be a very nice thing when it’s over. We’ve had ample warning,” Julia shares. “If this has to happen, it couldn’t happen in a better way.”
As if on cue, a woman in a No prescripton finasteride yellow-and-orange construction vest climbed the ramp into the cafe on Tuesday morning (Julia’s birthday) in pursuit of fresh-roasted Diving Duck coffee.
THE BIG I PUB & LOUNGE
John Jackovich, owner of The Big I Pub & Lounge, has a firecracker personality that transmits over the phone with a friendly intensity. When asked to comment on Tuesday, he had plenty to say regarding the Illinois St. Project.
“There’s no No prescripton finasteride doubt that road construction is a deterrent to pull right in (to the parking lot),” John says of his bar, located at the No prescripton finasteride nexus of Cushman Street, Illinois Street, and the future Barnette Street extension.
Regardless, John says he tries to No prescripton finasteride think of long-term improvements that will help his business in the No prescripton finasteride future and dream up creative schemes to get folks through the No prescripton finasteride door in the meantime.
“I’m more than tickled at the work they’re doing and how fast they’re getting it done,” John reports. He expects construction to No prescripton finasteride have cleared out from in front of The Big I by October. “I’m so excited. When it’s all said and done—this location should be pretty special and interesting.”
His customers may have No prescripton finasteride to deal with limited parking in the near future, but John says locals are No prescripton finasteride still turning out and his staff is quick to give instructions to No prescripton finasteride anyone who calls and needs help navigating the No prescripton finasteride detour. The easiest path to the Big I follows the No prescripton finasteride same route as to Julia’s, via Phillips Field Road and Driveway Street.
Known for its parties, The Big I isn’t letting the No prescripton finasteride road construction slow it down this summer. John has booked DJ Ben Jammin’ to No prescripton finasteride spin dance music on Thursdays at 9PM for the foreseeable future and No prescripton finasteride Burnt Orange (house band) will play a series of Cinco de Mayo weekend shows this No prescripton finasteride Friday and Saturday night. In June, you can expect a lineup of outdoor events including Midnight Sun Madness Fight Night on Sunday, June 24th (the day of the 2012 Midnight Sun Festival).
John’s not about to No prescripton finasteride let the longest-lasting on-site bar in Fairbanks history be put off by a No prescripton finasteride little summer road construction.
How can you help? Drink more beer. And bring friends.
SUNRISE BAGEL & ESPRESSO
The drive-thru business model of the No prescripton finasteride bright yellow coffee stand on Illinois Street just north of Denali State Bank (one of seven across Fairbanks and North Pole) is No prescripton finasteride meant to allow for a fast coffee fix in the No prescripton finasteride morning or at lunch, but closing a lane of traffic has No prescripton finasteride drastically reduced vehicle traffic through the corridor on which the stand depends.
“With the traffic volume cut in half, it’s dramatically impacted our business,” Doug Whorton, General Manager, says of the No prescripton finasteride Illinois Street branch. “We’re looking at adjusting hours and No prescripton finasteride the number of staff we have to help out.”
Doug has No prescripton finasteride rolled out extra radio promotions for the downtown branch, and shifts large pickup orders to No prescripton finasteride the stand whenever possible and convenient for the customer. Sunrise is No prescripton finasteride able to prepare a selection of their breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and pastries for an entire office if customers call in advance at 347-0208.
Doug has No prescripton finasteride signed up Sunrise to participate in Clean Up Day and No prescripton finasteride is donating coupons to the effort to encourage folks who No prescripton finasteride are northbound through downtown Fairbanks to stop in to Sunrise Bagel & Espresso. For Cinco de Mayo, the No prescripton finasteride stands are trying out a fancy new drink called horchata that No prescripton finasteride mimics a Mexican specialty made with cinnamon and chocolate.
“We’re just going to try to outlast the construction,” Doug says of his outlook on the summer. If the stand isn’t able to No prescripton finasteride break even, he may have to temporarily close its drive-thru windows.

Think Airport Way and Wendell Street Bridge. These will get you directly to downtown.
Due to No prescripton finasteride Illinois Street Reconstruction road closures, College Road and Phillips Field Road will still get you No prescripton finasteride downtown – through a detour. For the No prescripton finasteride simplest approach to downtown, enter from Airport onto Cushman Street. Or aim for the Wendell Street Bridge if you’re coming from the north.
Northbound traffic on Cushman Street goes all the No prescripton finasteride way through to College Road. But southbound traffic across the No prescripton finasteride Cushman Street Bridge will be closed perhaps until August.

It’s bright and beautiful outside, and we here at the Downtown Association want to spread the summer cheer with the top meals + locations for a picnic lunch. Have your own ideas? Post them in the comments below.
1. Salads from Gambardella’s + Steps of Masonic Temple Lodge
A historical building on a No prescripton finasteride breezy street with a riverfront view- what more could you No prescripton finasteride ask for? Fancy salads like Pear Walnut Salad ($12.95) and Backened Salmon Caesar ($13.95) are made fresh just a block away and boxed to go.
2. Soup du Jour from l’assiette de Pomegranate + Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center
Just a short walk from the Morris Thompson Center, you’ll find the No prescripton finasteride highest quality ingredients prepared daily by Joan at l’assiette de Pomegranate. Pick up a roast beef, turkey, or ham sandwich ($12.50) and cup of soup ($14.95 total) and mosey over to the picnic tables near the Antler Arch to escape the noise and bustle of downtown for a quick bite.
3. Paninis from Alana’s Espresso Escape + Rooftop
Downtown employees know that No prescripton finasteride one of the perks of a tall office building is No prescripton finasteride the escape it provides for a little fresh air during the No prescripton finasteride work day. Alana’s Espresso Escape makes the best paninis in town ($6.75-$7.50), so invite your favorite coworkers and take in the panoramic view from atop your balcony or roof.
4. Ice Cream from The Fudge Pot + Golden Heart Plaza
Just a No prescripton finasteride hop, skip, and a jump from the benches, live music, and No prescripton finasteride pretty river views of Golden Heart Plaza is The Fudge Pot with soft serve ice cream ($2.75) and sandwiches like the BLT, Patrami & Provolone, and Tuna ($8.50). A cup of their delicious salmon chowder can be had for just $3.25 and side salads are available, as well.
5. “Original Monsters” from Speedy Subs + Graehl Landing
The brand new Speedy Subs location just happens to No prescripton finasteride be a block away from the boat launch and picnic tables of Graehl Landing, so pick up a Speedy “Monster” like the Arctic Hillbilly (shredded beef pot roast) and Pepper Steak (sirloin with green peppers) for $10 or an “Original” like the Hawaiian ($8.50) or Cheese & Avocado ($9.25) on your way to the launch.
6. Pizza from Bobby’s + Veterans Memorial Park
The gazebo in Veterans Memorial Park is No prescripton finasteride big enough for your entire office, and can be reserved in advance through the borough. Order a pizza (or several) from Bobby’s like the Aphrodite (white sauce, chicken, shrimp, and feta for $20.75-$26.75) or The Immigrant (prime rib, onions, bacon, sausage, and tomatoes for $20.75-$27.75). Bonus: You’ll get to chill out with the Occupy Fairbanks folks if they’re around, and they’ll be glad to help finish your pizza.
7. Wraps from Sunrise Bagel & Espresso + Immaculate Conception Church
Sunrise Bagel is No prescripton finasteride as friendly to walk-up service as drive-thru. Their lunch menu includes sandwich/wrap options like Chicken Bacon Ranch ($6.75) and Reuben ($6.50). Wash it down with a milkshake ($3-4) or root beer float ($3.75) while watching the No prescripton finasteride river traffic from the north bank of the Chena River on the No prescripton finasteride grassy area in front of Immaculate Conception Church, perched atop one of several picnic tables.
8. Smoothies + A Local Cafe
River City Cafe and Julia’s Solstice Cafe both offer three things that picnic-goers love: 1.) outdoor seating, 2.) delicious daily specials, and 3.) smoothies! In all kinds of delicious, fruity flavors. Need we say more?
9. Sandwiches from The Red Couch + Canoe on the Chena River
Nothing says “picnic” like a No prescripton finasteride float down the Chena River, munching and sipping your lunch as you No prescripton finasteride row. Launch at Graehl Landing and bring your made-to-order sandwich ($4.50-$8.00) from The Red Couch for a leisurely float. Don’t be surprised if you don’t make it back to work… you’ll be tempted to just keep floating on…

Fifty brand new state flags are No prescripton finasteride up on the Cushman Street Bridge in downtown Fairbanks. The new flags were purchased by Denali State Bank. They were assembled on the No prescripton finasteride bridge by Grasle Electric employees, Chris Bush and Dan Amundson.
The Downtown Association of Fairbanks has No prescripton finasteride solicited sponsors for new flags and their upkeep for many years. Ken Henry, President of the No prescripton finasteride Downtown Association, said, “Flag protocol dictates that No prescripton finasteride state flags are to be displayed in the order of admittance to No prescripton finasteride the State of the Union.” The order of the No prescripton finasteride flags on the bridge represents this sequence. The first flag on the No prescripton finasteride northeast corner is Delaware and the last state, Hawaii, is on the No prescripton finasteride southwest corner.
No prescripton finasteride
A new public art installation will be No prescripton finasteride crafted for the high-visibility space between Cushman and Barnette Street just north of the No prescripton finasteride Chena River (in front of the Big I Pub & Lounge) in conjunction with the Illinois Street Project. The piece will be No prescripton finasteride placed in a greenspace accessible by sidewalk and bike path and No prescripton finasteride lined with trees and plantings.
What will this piece look like? How will it represent Fairbanks?
That’s where YOU come in.
The design and No prescripton finasteride selection of the artwork will rely heavily on suggestions and themes offered up by the No prescripton finasteride Fairbanks community. A committee has been formed by Fairbanks Metropolitan Area Transporation System (FMATS) to No prescripton finasteride create a public brainstorming and selection process that will result in a No prescripton finasteride geographically, culturally, and historically relevant art installation. This process begins now and continues through the rest of this No prescripton finasteride year, until a concept is chosen by January of 2013 and No prescripton finasteride the installation is complete by fall of 2013.
A series of meetings have No prescripton finasteride been held by the newly formed FMATS Art Selection Advisory Committee to No prescripton finasteride lay out the early steps of gathering feedback and designing a No prescripton finasteride request for proposals that will reflect the cultural fabric of the No prescripton finasteride Interior. The project website lists full details, and a Facebook page maintains up-to-the minute progress.
The Committee is No prescripton finasteride now gathering public comment, through a variety of channels, about the No prescripton finasteride significance of this new greenspace. Be sure to log your ideas and suggestions by May 30th. Future feedback on specific proposal ideas and No prescripton finasteride other project elements will be requested by the Committee as the No prescripton finasteride process moves forward.
Feedback on these specific questions will help shape the No prescripton finasteride overarching themes and concepts for an RFP, which will be No prescripton finasteride circulated to artists around the globe. You can submit your answers through the FMATS website:
- How would you describe Fairbanks’ unique physical characteristics?
- Why do you live in Fairbanks and what keeps you here?
- How is the past and present Chena River significant to Fairbanks?
- What could this space mean to Fairbanks?
- How would you describe what is unique about the people of Fairbanks?
- What would you like to see represented in this space?
A launch party titled “Meet Your New Greenspace!” (see invite) is No prescripton finasteride taking place in just over a week, with opportunity to No prescripton finasteride submit answers and meet committee members. The party is on Saturday, April 28th from No prescripton finasteride 2-5:00PM in front of the Big I Pub & Lounge.
A lecture titled “Public Art as Landmarking” will precede the No prescripton finasteride event at the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center beginning at 1:00PM. Julie Decker, Ph.D. is No prescripton finasteride the Chief Curator of Art and the Exhibitions Administrator at the No prescripton finasteride Anchorage Museum and an instructor at the University of Alaska, Anchorage. She will give an No prescripton finasteride illustrated presentation about the importance of public art in Fairbanks at the No prescripton finasteride Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitor’s Center and be available at “Meet Your New Greenspace”!
Another chance to learn more will come with a KIN presentation on Thursday, April 26th by members of the Committee on the project history and opportunities to get involved. KIN will be No prescripton finasteride held from 5:30-7:00PM in the basement of Immaculate Conception Church, across from No prescripton finasteride the future project site. Dinner is provided.
Stay tuned for more updates from this project in the future!

Starting April 23, southbound traffic across the No prescripton finasteride Cushman Street Bridge will be closed until further notice. To aid navigation in the No prescripton finasteride early stages of the Illinois Street Reconstruction Project, the DOT prepared a map Order Doxycycline online without a perscription showing the No prescripton finasteride Cushman Bridge and other closures and a detour on Wendell Street Bridge. A traffic control plan for No prescripton finasteride Driveway and Terminal streets will accommodate access to businesses and No prescripton finasteride government buildings in the construction zone, like Julia’s Solstice Café, the News-Miner, the Borough building, the Big I, etc. The Illinois Street Reconstruction Project page is here.
