Active Soles in Palmer’s Koslosky Building December 4th, 2010
Active Soles
It’s called Active Soles for a reason, the owners specialize in gait analysis, computerized foot function analysis, and foot orthotics. Don’t know what that is? Neither do I…all I know is that they have fantastic customer service.
I don’t know any other shoe store that allows you to try a shoe out for 30 days to see if it will work for you with a guaranteed return policy if it doesn’t fit right.
I’m not much of a shoe person, but I found some great Keen shoes that fit my feet well and are comfortable. So I just keep going back for more of the same shoe… As I said, I’m no Imelda Marcos with a closet full of shoes. But I am a fan of this store.
I’m starting to get a good collection of different colors of the same shoe.
Check it out…here is their website. Active Soles

Houses For Rent In Palmer and Wasilla November 24th, 2010
Way back in October 2007 I wrote about rentals in Palmer and Wasilla on my other blog, valleymarket.com. I think it’s time for an update. It is common for me to get calls asking if I handle rentals…I don’t.
Here are my tips for finding a rental in the area:
1. Check with the local property managers.
Here are three…
Charlene Moss, she handles the most rentals, 373-8161
Traci Brewington at Prudential, 376-2414
Dawn Houston at Double Eagle, 357-1770
2. Check craigslist, you will find almost all the owner rentals on craigslist.
If you need to buy or sell in Palmer and Wasilla, I can help you with that. Drop me a line by clicking on the contact button or give me a call at
(907) 232-7900.
Or, if you would rather do your own search on the MLS, just go my search page.
The 32nd Potato Bowl September 25th, 2010
The Potato Bowl has been one of the most look-forward-to games of every football season for Palmer and Wasilla…for the last 32 years.
I dropped by today to see Palmer win again Wasilla (third year in a row) with a score of 26 – 12. Palmer has won 23 of the last 32 Potato Bowls.
The weather was beautiful! Clear skies and light breezes throughout the afternoon. Though the game was rescheduled last night because of dangerously strong winds, but the stands were filled today with spectators of all ages: player’s younger siblings to oldtime Palmeranians. Not only were cars bedecked in blue and white paint, so were school windows and student’s bodies.
Just another day in the life of a Palmeranian! Click here for a link to the Frontiersman with more info about today’s game.
