- Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, is in the south-central part of the state on the Cook Inlet. It's known for its cultural sites, including the Alaska Native Heritage Center, which displays traditional crafts, stages dances, and presents replicas of dwellings from the area’s indigenous groups. The city is also a gateway to nearby wilderness areas and mountains including the Chugach, Kenai and Talkeetna. ― Google
I first lived in AK in 97. I made it into 98 before my job took me elsewhere. I miss the city and the friends I made way back then. It was a magical place to be for someone that loves the outdoors. God bless AK and Anchorage and all that live there. And thank you for many of the very best memories of my life.
That city looks very clean no trash anywhere.
That's because there's no people there - no people, no trash.
@@jm-bv1wh Anchorage Alaska has a population of over 293,000 people.
The more crowded the place gets the dirtier it becomes.
@@jimbeck8417 Anchorage has a population density of 200 people per square mile. For comparison, Chicago has a population density of 12,000 per square mile and NYC is 29,000 per square mile. Anchorage has a rural population density.
@@crazeyjoe how many dead per square mile?
Man I love Alaska
Anchorage looks like a nice city. Clean, good roads, etc. It just seems to suffer from a lack of things to do, true or not. At least outside of the outdoors industry.
The outdoors industry is absolutely huge in Anchorage, but you're right, there is a lack of things to do, but then again half the year is dependent on the tourism industry and Alaska is busiest during the summer months. It's not an easy town to live in due to the winter months where there is between 6 to 8 hours of light per day and it can drop below zero rather easily, plus to visit anyone in the lower 48 or Hawai'i you need to book plane tickets, or drive 6 days to get to the lower 48.
Just be an alcoholic like everybody else. 🤷♂️
I really do appreciate seeing Anchorage once more .I move out of state 3yrs ago and it's really heart ❤ warming to see my old stumping ground again ..namaste day
I moved out in 2021, but like you, I appreciate being able to see it again, if only through videos, this way I can remember my way around town to the places I lived in town, both on the east side.
I live in Anchorage. Moved up from the warmer lower 48. Anchorage is not for everyone. People complain about how cold this place is in the winter, the limited sunlight, drunk natives stumbling around downtown - all fair points, but just like any other place in the world, it’s what you make of it. It’s a transient town so don’t expect lifelong friendships. If anyone is thinking of moving up here, (if you can) it would be wise to visit in the summer AND in the winter to get an idea of the place. It’s all relative - some people love the place and swear they’ll never move, others come and after their first winter, they regret the move. It really is an individual decision and experience. I love the place but again I’ll reiterate, that’s my personal opinion. I have no regrets living here.
I lived in Anchorage through to 2021, and I agree with you on all those points, another perk is that you can encounter wildlife just about around every corner, I loved seeing the moose, and each time was awesome.
I left Alaska 20 years ago, came back to visit a few times, but AK is in my blood. I've got to get back. Great video Evelyn, the music was perfect for those winter scenes.
Anchorage has a full time Classical FM radio station !🙂
I was stationed at Ft Richardson 76-77. Wow, I don't even recognize the place. It looks really modern and clean.
I also was at Ft Richardson 71-73. I worked in the Motor pool as a Mechanic and also worked at the Ford dealership in town. At the time I really liked it there and I had a car to get around. Looking at Videos now makes me wonder what happen as downtown looks like a dying city. Check out NuttyNu Videos .
Nobody on the roads
How cool 🤟🏽
This must be the first summer of the Pandemic . I was there and ended up leaving because of work . Miss Alaska I was there pretty much for 12 years
No place like it .
Yes definitely no place like it, I do miss it too. This recording was in July 2021.
@@Ka-Chow-Cruisin , wow so it's still like that ? Awful that has to have a very damaging effect on the economy up there . I was working as a helicopter mechanic out of Anchorage ( Pathfinder ) left when the Pandemic hit in 2020 , came back to work at ( Coastal helicopters ) Juneau , in the summer of 2020 stayed till April this year and left again. Now I'm working in Alabama. It's a job but that's it , miss Alaska.
@@johnmarshall4442 This looks to be early in the morning the sun is still coming over the Chugach mountains in the east.
@@johnmarshall4442 I was just back there in Feb 2022. Everything almost seems back to normal. I have a friend that works at MATSAR Search & Rescue and he enjoys living in Wasilla Alaska. Hope all is well in Alabama.
I was there for 26 years
I enjoyed the part where you ran the red light and it didn't matter, because there was no one else on the street.
so beautiful!!! so quiet!!! thanks for share!!
It's gorgeous, and we share the roads with the wildlife because moose fear nothing and no one and can total your vehicle if you hit'em
Very nice driving video of downtown Anchorage... thanks for sharing.
Very likeable and quiet town ✊🙂
Clearly, you've never been around one of the trailer parks.
@@marcopolo8584 Too right mate, but most of the trailer parks are on the east side of town, oh, but there is Mountain View
@@forexed8948 Mountain View and Fairview are the ***WORST***
@@marcopolo8584 Are they ever, I never felt comfortable when I'd be visiting a friend in Mountainview. That neighborhood has always had a bad rap.
I lived in Anchorage Alaska for 25 years n you think this is a boring place. Take back to 1970. Alaska is a BEAUTIFUL State.. MY family was in the Airforce n you better be glad we are protecting the country from there. We are on ligh alert now due to War n you better be thankful that we are on constant watch on those RUSSIANS. You think this is boring visit many places around the US n then judge
I love Alaska ❤❤❤❤
Talk about an end of the world place.
Thank you for making this video
WOW HOW BEAUTIFUL NO HOMELESS'S !!!!!!!!!!!
Streets were EMPTIER LAST YEAR!!!
Can you do a drive around fairbanks if u ever get the chance?
You must have done this at 6am on Sunday morning , no traffic
Awesome work!
I could never live there.
It is not a dump.
Northern cities in Alaska looks much less abandoned than the same longitude cities in northern Russia
I love to go to cities with so less people...it's perfect to enjoy playing golf,football,baseball, basketball,tennis,madminton,driving cars, driving trucks, driving bikes,driving scooters,cycling,drinking beer,rum & wine,playing with beautiful wife etc but it's not okay for businesses coz there are no much people there
yeah yeah it's all good and beautiful until the winter hits. Thats why im moving out of the state, too damn cold.
so you mean to tell us that the idea of moving to the most northern most state didn't tink your lightbulb in your head at all that it might be a tad cold up here?
@@zandergar9729 came to help some one decited to stay after my help was done and now i regret it.
@@weldy1795 no regrets; just valuable lessons learned.
The greatest city, in the greatest state, in the greatest country, in the history of the planet. 🗽🇺🇸
Ok pal, the Us is not the best country not even top 10
Alaska is a great place to live. But, our corrupt court system needs to be take out and dismantled ! We have some serious problems with corrupt judges and attorneys !
Can you tell me about the curbs and why they’re painted different colours…
Red means no parking/stopping whatsoever, yellow means loading/unloading area.
Some of the most expensive real estate in Anchorage is the downtown area . It's like Park Place in MONOPOLY .
IS IT LIKE 2 AM...
Not in Sept, its dark at 2 am in Sept. June, it would be sunny (I am from/live here). Notice Street lights are not on? Its mid day.
@@DumpTrump4TRE45ON THE TRAFFIC WAS NOTHING AND ALMOST NOBODY OUTSIDE...THAT IS MY KIND OF LIVING...FIND YOU A GOOD WOMAN AND HUNKER DOWN...
I think between 6 and 7 am. Sun rise to the east. One of the places that are popular for bfast that open at 7 isn't open yet.
Nice
Se ven autos pero no se ve gente
I hear if you take that first turn and get on to JBER they’ll show you a good time ;)
The Polar Bear Club of the Arctic Circle gives your video three paws up!!! ʕ·͡ᴥ·ʔฅ ʕ·͡ᴥ·ʔฅ ʕ·͡ᴥ·ʔฅ Three Alaskan Cheers!!
My mom and dad were station in Alaska my dad wanted to stay, mom said to my dad " it's me or Alaska".my mom and us kids came home. My dad left my mom not for another woman but god's country, how can you be mad at that
He was cheating or he really didn’t want his family lol
He sounds like a jerk
@@debrafirestone861 so only what she wants matters?
Concrete jungle with nobody around.
Kde jsou lidé?Ulice jsou prázdné bez lidí...

Is Anchorage within the Alaskan triangle where strange things happen?
It's one of the points.
What camera were you shooting with?
Why would they bother maintaining a traffic signal and where are all the people ?
*idk, could be the weekend like early weekend? Could be a Sunday after everything is closed, could be a possibility maybe ya think?*
Pretty much looks like all cities USA except, with no people.
*Nope not all Cities. Downtown is much smaller then most if not all of the lower 48 Cities, considering it's pretty small. Plus you don't know if this was taking during the mornings hours or the Weekend of Night during the Summer.*
A ghost town? No pedestrians?
Bueno y dónde se esconde la gente que las calles Solas
And to think that was once part of mother Russia.
Grand theft auto 7 will take place In Anchorage.
That makes sense. There’s a lot of auto theft.
😆
fun fact did u know anchorage is the capital of fairbanks
Where is everyone?
IT looks so far north - the same latitude as the extreme north Shetlands
What chu know about dat 907 huh what chu know bout dat huh what chu know ?
I went to Alaska some years ago (from Anchorage all the way to Barrow) and yes, nature-wise it is absolutely spectacular, but the cities and towns are horrendous. I have never felt so unsafe walking the streets of a city in broad daylight as I have in Anchorage. Full of natives and hillbillies who live in a semi-perpetual state of drunkness and harass and threaten visitors. I can only imagine what a jewel of a place Alaska would be if it belonged to the Swedish or the Swiss.
Ciudad linda pero , a dónde están sus habitantes?
A juzgar por la forma en que se ve el cielo, parece que esto fue filmado alrededor de las 05:00, por eso parece tan vacío.
Where is everybody??
Anchorage is a dump, you should see it in early spring, yuk. This is downtown, surrounding areas are dismal. I lived there and around the state for forty years,
The drunken natives passed out on the sidewalks or fighting themselves. Not a pretty sight.
It’s the white drug addicts that bug me. Asking for a cigarettes and change
So you would not recommend moving to Anchorage?
Were those condos back there?
Downtown is mostly offices and hotels. On the outskirts of the downtown area, there are some really nice condos.
👋👋👋
J ai une question à vous poser est ce que l Alaska est un des états américains les moins répressifs aux Etats Unis
C est l état policier américain et la justice américaine qui ne me plaisent pas autrement je pense peut être m y installer un jour pour de bon
Je suis francais
Si L Alaska fait partie des états les moins répressifs des usa alors oui je peux éventuellement investir ou y travailler d autant plus que il est plus facile d investir une entreprise aux Etats Unis
@@laurenthervesi1226 L'Alaska est un bel état. L'Alaska est le 4e État le moins peuplé d'Amérique
As much as so many products like food is getting so expensive, the cost of living in Alaska has always been much higher then the rest of the US, it’s going to be very tough for most people unless they are rich. Unless I’m killing my own meat by hunting and fishing for it life is going to get even worse over the next few years. I’m poor but grateful I don’t live in Alaska.
You're right, it is expensive, but that's because Alaska is at the end of the supply chain, so everything we get is either near its expiration date, or past it.
brother ran a red light
looks depressing
You’re probably just depressed
@@nachocrazy1448 As a resident, yes, downtown is pretty drab and boring.
It could be 3am its summer look at the trees.
I used to live in Anchorage ,I woke on a pretty summers day. Discarded to gout for breakfast,.wondered why the traffic was so scarce .
Looked at my watch 2:30am.
I wanted to find some nice things to say about this city, but all I could come up with was the roads were in better condition than I expected considering the weather and over all it looked like a clean city. But, I think both are a side effect of the fact that there seemed to be no people there. Honestly, it felt like watching a zombie apocalypse movie. I saw several things that struck me as odd. All of the big hotels except the Marriott were off by themselves with nothing around them. I mean all the Hilton had next to it was an Army Navy store and closed down pawn shop. There was a diner called Soul Food Gyros. Really? Those two things have nothing in common. Really, the problem with this city seemed to be wonky zoning. It was a very haphazard mix of structures all jumbled together. The pedestrians that you did see were an odd mix too. Two hookers, 5 wobbly drunks, 4 joggers, and several that were alone and walking in circles looking confused. I guess it would matter what day of the week and time of day this was. I assumed it was summer since I saw one house that had annuals growing in a flower box, but it did look cold.
It's funny. There were actually two restaurants in one. Tito's Gyros and Roscoe's Soul Food. But you're right. They definitely don't go together. Also, I'm pretty sure this was filmed early in the morning, sometime between 6 and 7 am. That's why the streets and sidewalks are so empty. And depending on where you're from, you could consider it cold, but I'd bet it was in the mid 50s this day, at least. I didn't see the hookers you saw. Must have missed them.
Que tristeza! Ambiente desolador e depressivo.
I guess ya forgot to mention what day this was? early or Night ?
a case of bottled water there is 40 dollars.
Demonstrably untrue. Walmart says 6 and some change, compared to 5 and some change in Phoenix. Cost of living is pretty comparable to Denver, CO overall.
I live here and I watched clips woulda been better with some words anything so boring
Gotta be -40° out, like zero people outside
Forza Horizon 9 will take place in Alaska
I spent my first 8 months in the town of Petersburg in the heart of Alaska's Southeast back in 1981. I lived in Anchorage for 12 years before moving to Fairbanks. People in Anchorage always down talked Fairbanks and called it Squarebanks. After my first year there i asked myself why I did not move there. Sooner. I spent my last 4 years in the state there and left the state at the turn of the century. Anchorage was a better place back in the 1980's and 1990's. Now they say it is not safe to walk around downtown after dark because of all the crime.
@@phelanmcdonald1635 I respect Alaska as a whole, but personally, I don't like the extreme temp differences up in Fairbanks. I get it's a weird thing to say, but I just prefer MAYBE 80 degree summers, max. Lived too long in 110-120 degree, monsoon-ridden climates to appreciate any hotter than that.
@@nairsheasterling9457 I understand. I spent 4 winters in Fairbanks. I left the state of Alaska in the year 2000 to attend school in the lower 48. I went back for a visit in 2017. I won't be going back. I'm so glad that I lived there.
Anchorage went WOKE!
Die mad about it.
Very empty city. Very bored !
Check the time when filmed.
People are not realizing why nobody is on the streets. It's because it is dangerous to walk around Anchorage.
No it's not, the reason its empty is cuz most people are quarantining
It was filmed early in the morning, that’s why it’s empty. in the day there’s usually way more people
Hun, if you think Anchorage is "dangerous to walk around," you got a real storm coming.
@@nairsheasterling9457 Sweetie. I have been to 50 states. I lived in Hollywood for 3 years. A pack of guys in Anchorage tried to get money from me on a Tuesday at lunch. Step off.
@@kirbyd3870 And my point is it's just as likely in any other city, fam.
