I suspect it's because with fewer distractions, friends and neighbors become more important. They also tend to look after each other more. Alaska definitely fits this category.Mark W.

Most interesting was he town of North Pole with its Santa Clause workshop a few miles out of Fairbanks. Everyone there was so friendly!Jean Henry Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146960738692672013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-14927141188071300982010-08-05T15:48:40.053-05:002010-08-05T15:48:40.053-05:00Beth, Pat, I don't know of any other place tha...Beth, Pat, I don't know of any other place that reports news like they do in Alaska. It doesn't matter what town it is, the reports are always interesting and entertaining. <br /><br />As far as remote sites go, I often look at potential last-ditch emergency landing sites in northern Alaska, China and Russia thinking to myself, yeah, I could probably survive a crash landing in this tundra, but then what? Chances are slim anyone would get to us before we perished from the elements. I'll let you imagination take over from there:)Mark W.

I've read all the stories Mark mentioned.<br /><br />I started reading it because I have so many relatives in Alaska, but keep reading it because it's so interesting.<br /><br />On the political gossip side, there's an ADN column called Alaska Ear. On the social chitchat side, there are several Anchorage people on Facebook.<br /><br />I've been to Juneau and Anchorage so I can identify. Haven't been out in the boonies though. The cities are wild enough for me.

I'll have to subscribe to some of these local papers. Thanks!Jaden Terrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113218513166921429noreply@blogger.com
