I'll look for you around.<br /><br />Also, I second the recommendation to contact the Alaska Dispatch for a job. Their news coverage is actually better than the Daily News many times and they've scooped up many of the top columnists and reporters from the ADN and other news outlets. They are one of my first reads each day.61 Degrees Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17763375817229728372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-27596534915387280992010-03-15T14:34:56.304-06:002010-03-15T14:34:56.304-06:00I clearly remember asking you what Juneau was like...I clearly remember asking you what Juneau was like when we first met(you were eating a burger on my back deck after the 24 Hours of Light). You said it was like Prince Rupert only maybe a little wetter.

You are, after all, extraordinarily awesome.<br />Just remember to save the tasty bits from the burning wreck of your former life.<br /><br />I look forward to an Anchorage visit with the lovely and talented Jennoit.<br /><br />Whitehorse Ben<br /><br />PS I did notice the uncanny similarities between the things you want in a home town and our Yukon abode.

I really enjoyed living there, but stumbled into a situation similar to the one you are in now. <br /><br />I too moved north and now live in Fairbanks. I like it very much here too. <br /><br />I miss certain things about Anchorage, certain conveniences, cheap movies at the Bear's Tooth, a burger and milkshake from Tommy's, Indian food, but I love the space, serenity, and consistent winter cold of Fairbanks (watching the snow melt away under warm temps and rain during a January Pineapple Express in Anchorage made me a thousand times more depressed than the 4 hours of mid-winter daylight here in Fairbanks). <br /><br />When Fairbanks wears off, who knows where to next, but I am happy now. As you said, that is the most important thing. <br /><br />Good luck with your move. Have a burger at Tommy's for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-8080000484287304522010-03-14T13:26:29.103-06:002010-03-14T13:26:29.103-06:00"I find it interesting that people think thei..."I find it interesting that people think their own experiences equate to "the norm"...."<br /><br />No one else's experience is the norm, but yours is? Oh, okay. <br /><br />Juneau is a transient place, people tend not to stick around. Like it or not, that's the norm. Don't you remember the recent article about how Juneau has been completely stagnant, growth-wise, in the last decade? People just don't want to live there.

Certainly there's the bad of the city, but so much more freedom to explore and places to explore. Lived in SLC myself, ANC is similar in that so much is within 1/2 day drive. See you on the trails.
