Talk:Spenard, Alaska

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a first shot at describing Spenard. Also, I think this should be the first in a series of articles that describe communities of Anchorage, since each really has sort of its own flavor and attitude, and some like Spenard, Portage, and Eagle River have very different histories from the rest of the city. — Ts'éiyoosh 00:45, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lumber camp?

A year ago, an anon added some material claiming Spenard began as a lumber camp, and Joe Spenard was its owner. Is there anything like a source on this? The assertion fails the Google test, at any rate; there isn't much about him online to begin with, but none of it (well, aside from this article, anyway!) indicates he was anything other than the owner of a resort and the City Express company. —Zero Gravitas 21:41, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
