As a Girdwoodian for 30+ years, and having raised 3 now adults here, I love every morsel of this article! Loving the Astrid Lindgren quote at the end. I’m in Sweden now and Pippi is everywhere!

Birch & Alder makes a fantastic bagel, but for my money the best in town is the Nordic Bagel from Wooden Spoons on 36th!

How far is Anchorage from Girdwood? I love reading about so many time-honored places. I'm sorry about Kaylah, hoping for a full recovery.
