    We lived in Fairbanks since 1993. Pros: little traffic, box stores like Home Depot, Cosco, Walmart, etc., great big game hunting, international airport minutes away, northern lights, midnight sun, quiet rural neighborhoods, diverse communities from hard core republicans to liberal democrats, tolerance of a diversity of people. Cons: mosquitoes in the summer, ice fog at low elevation in the winter, winter rain turning to ice glaze, summer smoke due to wildfires, long drives: 360 miles to Anchorage, 360 miles to Valdez, rough roads due to permafrost thaw, some "highways" can be dusty or muddy: Denali Hwy, Elliot Hwy, Steese Hwy, short unfrozen season when outdoor home projects, family visits, and outdoor wilderness activities all complete for your time.

    Family friendly is often more of a double edged sword than a positive, often it means there's lots to do if you have kids but very little to do if you don't have them. Depends on the community though

    Three weeks ago, I asked if you knew any good spots for winter gear in case I needed it for my trip to Fairbanks and ultimately, I didn’t need any! Still, thank you for the recommendation and the trip was so much fun! A lot of friendly people every corner I went, fun activities I’ve never experience before, and if given the chance again in the future, I’d totally come back to experience it all again!

      @@DiscoverFairbanks I’ve seen on Google street view places that I’ve been to on my trip and they were taken during the summer and they look like two completely different worlds compared to the winter months that I’ve experienced! I’d like to visit sometime in the summer and have the chance to reach the Arctic Circle through the Dalton Highway as well as do some summer activities too!

I have been walking all around Downtown Fairbanks, AK, Enough Elbow Room to go around, and Coffee Houses, All over the place, Frey Meyers, & Wal-mart are definitely in the interior, Creamery, Ashley Furniture, ok, what's missing nothing, lol!!!
