I love to hear my neighbor play his bagpipes. I'll take that anyday over thumping "music". He asked us oneday of it bugged us and we said NO, keep playing! What great ambience. I love all my neighbors and the way all of our houses look different. I love how everyone waves when passing by. I love the masses of children that come to the door on Halloween. I love how all the neighbor kids know my dogs name.

my parents house in another state was bought for $26K in 1962. They sold in 1993 for $250K. Now that same little bity house is selling for $750K. Ridiculous!!! We are about to sell our little bity house here in Fairbanks, and are not worried because it is a lower priced home (affordable!) and is in a pretty good area. I looked at some of the home prices here in town, and I find that many seem overpriced and/or unaffordable for the average person making an average wage. How do people afford those giant homes?

where are those bums selling the stuff? Aside from the copper and alum scraps, I mean, I dont want to buy from their "store" or garage sale??? Are they working for someone?

My husband and I suspect the bums may be the reason that the city/borough wanted to ban the dumpster diving. We too are mobbed when we try to dump something. It is really really bad at the University/College Rd dump. The men mob me and the vehicle. I cannot dumpster dive anymore because those men have a monopoly on everything. I love to dumpster dive and shop at the dump! I can do that in North Pole ok. Unless that red bus is there making the rounds, stalking out people. I fully agree with the letter writer. It is getting out of hand. I dont want to ban it, but those bums have got to go!!!

When I read "ugly fan" I thought of my ceiling fan...so ugly! I heard on the radio today that Walmart is insisting that it is not a recycling center. So now I am confused.

Dear Scott, What I love about the Fairbanks area is the extreme slow-paced lifestyle. Everytime I go Outside, I feel swarmed and rushed and my heart beats too fast, and for what? I love living here because like what many people are saying....you can dress like a bum and still be respected. I love the weather extremes. I love the bragging rights of plugging in my car, then leaving it running (have to re-think this one next winter). I love burning wood. I love big BBQ parties where too many people show up and after its over we have 14 case of beer leftover. I love boating and I love the Chena. I love the Salcha River, I love the Tanana. I love the little lakes and ponds. I love all the camping spots on the way to Chena Hot Springs. I love complaining about BIG BOX stores and the downfall of mom and pop. I love ordering stuff on the internet and flipping a mental bird to the box stores, cause I got it cheaper. I love Hot Licks grapenut ice cream (but not the price sorry). I love the clouds when they roll in over the hills. I love a clear day when you can see the Alaska Range. I love low-flying over the river on my way into Fairbanks from the west. I love being cleared to land 15 minutes before I can see the airport. I love the wind, its perfect to learn to fly. I love my husbands well paying job from a local employer. I love the trees. I love that crazy ice sculpture on the Steese Hwy. I love Hilltop Truck Stop and their pies! I love to drink water from the Fox well. I love the sighting of the first canada goose or crane at Creamers Field and how everyone goes crazy over it. I love walking on the frozen slough. I love how our reps and gov officials routinely stop in and we can meet them, as if they are friends. I love the arctic-cam and I love to wave at it when I go by. I love my Fairbanks Friends. I love all the moms groups I belong too. I love the sound of the train at night. I love the sound of jets overhead from the AFB and post. I love the helicopters. I love our local radio shows and local tv broadcasts. I simply just love it here and Im happy I moved here. Thanks for asking.

What do we do about comments that attack other commenters? I am getting threatening and disturbing emails from someone (a man?) who doesnt like my comments. I've never had a comment removed. They simply dont like my opinion. The person doing this to me has repeated had comments removed and whos opinion is rather extreme and crass. This is a major problem for me, but I do like the comments feature.
On Comments continue to entertain, disappoint
