The biggest city, and only real city, in The Last Frontier is truly a city now, as this article illustrates. With a metro population nearing 300,000 and growing, Anchorage is a more sophisticated and diversified city than just a decade or so ago with plenty of new choices and options for dining, entertainment, shopping, and even nightlife. And global warming is sure to make the climate more hospitable as well in the coming years as the effect will be more amplified in such a northerly location. Add to that the easy availability of virtually every kind of outdoor recreation (with the exception of surfing and tanning at the beach) and one can see why this place is growing. It has be eye-opening to say the least to see the wildlife like moose a part of the urban environment. Maybe there will be a NHL team there within the next 20 years.http://www.trib.com/articles/2008/02/18/news/wyoming/f426219caea786ac872573f30003f6c1.txt
