Terribly clever name, isn't it.  — 2 years ago

Worth visiting!

Turnagain is a neighborhood in West Anchorage and is known for being built on Bootlegger’s Cove Clay. During the 1964 earthquake, the clay liquefied and the entire neighborhood slid into Cook Inlet.
Turnagain gets its name from the explorer Captain Cook. While exploring, he (or one of his crew members) realized there was no way to continue. Someone said, “We’ll have to turn again!”
