Wasilla, AK
Alaska isn't for the weak of heart -
2/6/2008While I have lived here 23 years this May, Alaska is I can say not for the weak of heart. It takes special kinds of people to live here effectivly. First of all any area that you must import everything because the ground is too cold to dig, is in my mind not a place to be. So instead I chose Wasilla, nestled right outside Anchorage this sleepy little town is expanding at a rapid pace. Target blew up the old mall but that's okay because they were overpriced and hardly had any good stores. Now in Alaska we have what all other urban cities have, Gap, Banana Republic, Nordstroms, and TGIFridays. The difference is the prestine but always threatened landscapes, the overly buracracy riden social programs, and the extreme cold. However, the land scape overcomes all and you are either mezmerized or miserable.
