Anchorage earthquake damage

Are there any particular areas around Anchorage where damage from the 1964 or 2018 earthquakes is visible? I was fascinated as a kid with photos of the earthquake damage in a 1965 National Geographic magazine, particularly how opposite sides of the street were on significantly different levels. We are renting a car there, so we have the ability get around.

It's been 12 years but when we took the Anchorage trolley tour (https://anchoragetrolley.com/) in 2007 our guide gave very vivid descriptions of the earthquake (her husband was in elementary school) as we rode past one of the most devastated neighborhoods.

 

It was a great tour and an additional highlight was seeing a yearling moose cross the road (very slowly) right in front of us and then jump a fence into a backyard.  It was our last morning in Alaska and seeing a moose was on my 'to do' list.
