" Spenard is a rather seedy area of Anchorage, populated mostly by drug addicts, drug pushers, prostitutes and the local chapter of the Hells Angels. At any rate, a " Spenard Divorce " is one where the marriage is dissolved by a bullet instead of a court decree. When we were there the first time in 1984-1985, there were more marriages dissolved Spenard style every year than in the courts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
