Was not from the interior. . I think TT, for a bear, would be like Taco Bell for us. Easy,warm and requiring little effort, but hardly being fed well. Indigestion probably soon followed.:)

Now for those powerball numbers you promised.. the two times I wandered into that Sam’s club in Fairbanks that dude that dressed up like a women was there. I was like wtf! My buddy laughed and said oh that’s insert name they work here, so I wonder if Costco will hire the face of the Sam’s club lol.. Fairbanks the oddest City in Alaska if you ask me. Maybe you have missed a few Alaska cities? Been to all the ones on the road system anyhow.. and Fairbanks always has me scratching my head.. I live here and it has me scratching my head too. Twice, WTF is up with people and secondly WTF am I still here for?
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

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.

I haven't been to FBKs in some years either, but the last time it did still have a bit of a rural feeling to it. For a city. It did on our honeymoon too.
Anchorage, well its just a big city, but OTOH I can't drive 2 hours out of Austin or Houston and be where I could from ANC.. LOL

Don't need to drive more than a few minutes out of Anchorage and head off the road to know you're not in Kansas anymore. ![[Linked Image]](http://forums.accuratereloading.com/evefiles/photo_albums/3/4/4/344100033/1771057532_31871F0639603D34F58058FE517D8BA8.jpg)

Chris McCandless aka Alexander Supertramp.  Shi i it!  Here I am trying to drop names and you have to go spoil it for me.  Yeah, there are a few oddities up this way. I can deal with odd, however, a lot better than I can the proliferation of "Stolen" signs and notices.

Lived in Fbx for 18 years and now on the KP. It's funny to talk to Alaskans that either have never been there (really?) or so seldomly that it's about the same. I'm almost always asked which do you like better?
It's not a better/worse for me. Rather a case of *different*. I love both places, but one is Ginger and the other is Maryann. Can't say which is which, and that might not be the best analogy, but there it is.
Fbx has surely changed over the years as has most of AK. When i first arrived, Geist Rd had just been paved. Looky at that road system now.
Girl kid moved back there recently. Looking forward to getting up there again.

Ah yes, I guess I should have seen that since it's so prominently mentioned in the post you replied to.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (KTUU) - Almost two dozen vehicles crashed into one another, blocking the westbound lanes of the Johansen Expressway early Tuesday afternoon.
According to Alaska State Troopers in Fairbanks, approximately 23 vehicles created a jumbled mess, with one vehicle hitting the next in a sliding chain reaction.
Troopers say only minor injuries were reported from the incident.
The wall of impacted vehicles took hours to move, and troopers say the expressway's westbound lanes were shut down during that time.
Located near the bridge over Noyes Slough at the west end of the expressway, vehicles slow down to approach the intersection with University Avenue. That's where the pileup began, stretching back multiple car lengths.
A city transit bus company allowed passengers to sit inside the bus to keep warm while troopers investigated the incident. Some passengers were pinned inside their vehicles. AST said the outside temperature at the time was -15ºF.
What caused the first crash in the chain of resulting crashes is still being investigated.
Department of Transportation spokeswoman, Meadow Bailey, said a road crew had laid down sand and gravel shortly before the crash occurred.
UAF PD, UAF FD and Fairbanks PD assisted with traffic control, troopers said.
