Haven't been to Fairbanks in a few years, not sure if it's changed much. I've always had the feeling that it was a true Alaskan city, in the best possible way. I don't know if Anchorage deserves the furthest North suburb of Seattle tag, but it's never had the feel of a true Alaskan city. It's really going down hill the past few years with crime going off the charts and gaining an "international" feel in the worst possible way.
