Don't bet on it. My experience with those stores and Fry's, too
is that what they offer is simply instant gratification. Prices
may be low for a little while, but as soon as one drives the other
out of business, the price of that instant gratification goes up.

Try Eric's (formerly Chilly's until the Chili's people got all bent
out of shape a few years ago) on Klatt and Old Seward. Good
food, decent prices and an awesome Sunday brunch. Owned by
some local folks, too.
Be thankful for what Anchorage is and work to keep it that way.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled Free^H^H^H^H linux discussion.
