Here are some observations:

Drivers tailgating at 60 mph on glare ice like theyre back in boston or some sht. They even have occasional multi-car pile ups.

Pick up trucks that look like theyve never seen a fkn day of work.

Modern neighborhoods that look like they came staright out of a suburb in chicago

Dudes sporting carharts and kuiu that look fresh off the store rack.

Suvs and Tacomas decked out in "overland" bllsht in a place with no fkn roads or truck trails.

UAF campus looks like a fairytale disneyland where millions of dollars are wasted in the middle of nowhere, full of 75% too many worthless academics. Only gov. dunleavy tried to cut that fkn place down to a one room school house, like it should be.

Anyhoo.......I appreciate Fairbanks.....for about 90 minutes every two months.




Don't come to Anchorage then, it makes Fairbanks look like an old frontier town.


That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Everything is relative.

When I first arrived in Fbx, Geist road had just been paved. Now it’s 5 lanes wide. The light change @ university ave seems like it takes 20 minutes.


If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.

Akmtnhuntr,

I was at ft rich from 2002-2010. Of that period of time, three years in iraq, always landing back at elmendorf in the dead of winter.

Finally moved north in 2016. 2002 anchorage was purdy cool, it gradually changed and not for the better...
