Yoel Guillen Campos serves up huge dishes of steaming pork shoulder, brisket, black bean and rice at his Cuban American food cart near the Bobcat brand skid-loader dealership in Lemon Creek.

And all of Guillen Campos' Cuban plates come with a side of plantains. Fried plantains, cut into small lightly browned chunks. The outside is crispy and salty and the insides are like slightly sweet pudding. Not feeling adventurous? People's Place also serves good ol' American French fries.

The Juneau School District is asking the City and Borough of Juneau for $82,000 for retention of one school auditorium manager. A reduction in the district’s budget requires termination of one of its two current theater managers.

Juneau School District Superintendent Glenn Gelbrich asked the committee to approve the funds at the Assembly Finance Committee on May 2.

“A single individual can’t cover both facilities at the same time,” Gelbrich wrote in a letter to City Manager Kim Keifer.

Long-time customers are lamenting the impending closure of downtown’s Alaskan & Proud Market, while current employees remain uncertain about what lies in store for the space the grocery now occupies.

“A lot of people are sad about it shutting down,” Alaskan and Proud store manager Sandi McDonald said.

“They don’t want to have to catch the bus, they walk here,” McDonald said.

Visiting Lemon Creek and Mendenhall Valley stores is difficult for some, she said.

Homeowners in the Montana Creek area have filed an appeal to overturn a Planning Commission decision to approve a rock crusher proposed for their neighborhood, a D3 zone.
