Alright Alaskans, I'm heading up to the anchorage area in July for 2 weeks to look around at jobs and housing. I currently live in Wisconsin. What are some pros and cons to living up there? Where in the anchorage area would be a better suited town for me? I'm a small town country kinda guy. Lets hear some of your opinions/recommendations and such. I know there's probably not many of you Alaskans on here, but I'm shure there has to be a few!

I lived in Anchorage for 9 months for work its a awesome city. Make sure you eat at Gwennies Old Alaska Restaurant and Club Paris. As for drink make sure to check out Bernies' Bungalow Lounge.

I have never been to Alaska but wondering why you are wanting to move there? Is it just for a change or some other reason?

I would be looking at an outlying town of anchorage. I would shoot myself if I actually lived in the city in the first 2 days haha! Probably thinking Palmer area
