I had the good fortune to have many beers at the Bird House on a few occasions back in 1992 before the unfortunate fire. The Bird House was an institution and I was sorry to hear about the fire, but I can't say as I was surprised. That 3 feet of sawdust on the floor was a fire just waiting to happen.
I also had the good fortune to eat at the Klondike Diner in Soldotna many times before it closed. My favorite was the Big Dipper sandwich & the revolving pie case. Their pumpkin pie was excellent and every time my Bud and I would stop in, we'd first check out the pie case for pumpkin pie. Invariably, a waitress would say: "The Texans are back!" & she was right!
