Anchorage, Alaska: Bear Square

We stumbled on the most likely place to tour Anchorage merely by accident. Bear Square is something of a downtown gathering point.

The small plaza has a variety of attractions attached to it. You can rent a Segway, take the trolley around town, and pan for gold.

Heck, the place has its own website, the easiest way to determine these days if something is important. If you want further proof, it also is on Facebook.

But let's face it. People come here to say hello and see the bear. You just have to pat the big fella's belly when you are in the neighborhood. When you are done, then you can think about getting some ice cream.
