I grew up on Ft. Richardson, which is near Elmendorf. But, it was so long ago, that I'm afraid I don't have many memories. I went to college in Fairbanks, but that is quite different from Anchorage.

Alaskan summers are BEAUTIFUL! Winters in Fairbanks were a bear, but I think they're much more bearable in Anchorage.

Good luck with your move!
