Everyplace has old gas stations and many leaked, and owners generally couldn't afford to keep them due to regulations. Tanner's grocery, laundry and showers was in the log portion of the Brewery, nothing historic about that. There is nothing historical about the Yurt down the street, or the overflow room and deck for West Rib Restaurant.  

Yes, traffic and parking is a problem, but that is not the Brewery's fault, Talkeetna's problem is it's popularity. Maybe the old runway can be turned into a parking area for visitors and buses. With only a short walk to Main Street, it could be pedestrian only, with exceptions for property owners, deliveries, and the Fourth of July Parade, yes both directions.
