CRUISEADIK Posted June 22, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Would anyone know if there is still the largest bear on display in the JC Penney store in downtown Anchorage? We have been told there was one but it has been many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaciers Posted June 22, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2011 JCP is going through a renovation and it didn't fit into their new plans. It's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEADIK Posted June 22, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks for the update, we are so disappointed. Do you know if it was moved anywhere. Any other suggestions you could recommend for things like that to view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted June 22, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Anchorage is getting to Big City for old Alaska joys and pleasures. I wil bet the decision to make this change came out of Dalas, Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaciers Posted June 22, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I called and asked and the person I spoke with didn't know where it went. There are several around town although I lose sight of them after seeing them so often. I know the airport has one down by the commuter ticket counters that is staring down a deer and there used to be a polar bear but I haven't see it lately. I have a photo of it from the 1960's with my aunt standing next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assateague Island Princes Posted June 22, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Cruiseadik - you're sailing on the Amsterdam's 14 day itinerary, aren't you? If so - and if it doesn't have to be specific to Anchorage - you'll be in for a treat in our port stop of Kodiak! We saw several HUGE taxidermied bears (and other AK wildlife) in every single sporting goods store! Our local cab driver actually took us to atleast 2 sporting goods stores just to see the "wildlife" that was no longer wild! One was called Cy's Sporting Goods, if I'm not mistaken, and can't remember the other - but should be easy enough to find by googling it. Good luck in your big game hunt!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEADIK Posted June 22, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Chilkoot: Thank you so much for your efforts, I am partial to bears, am alumni from Baylor(sic'um Bears). We will certainly keep a look out for those you mentioned. AIP:Thanks also, we have a tour booked with Dake and hope to see some wildlife, will look in the hardware store.
