[Tanya Shivari]

Largest city in the US state of Alaska, located in the [Southcentral] Region along the [Knik] Arm, Cook Inlet, and Turnagain Arm. The population is about 260,000 (Census 2000), which is nearly half of Alaskas state population. The current mayor of Anchorage is Mark Begich. The most popular spots include Century 16 theater, Chilkoot Charlies, Mooses Tooth pub pizzeria, Bear Tooth theater pub, Dimond Center, and 5th Avenue Mall. Lowest temperatures are usually in the single digits during the winter, and can reach as high as the seventies to eighties during the summer. The summer is considered [Anchorages] tourist season, where the downtown area near the port tends to be the busiest. Great location for travel especially during summer, but winters can get cold, dark, and depressing for some residents.

[Dianne]

Biggest city in Alaska. Anchorage has roughly half the population in the state and is the starting place for the infamous [Iditarod] [dog sled] race. Winters are typically in [the 30s] and 20s with good snow. Summers are usually cloudy and in the high 50s, low 60s.

Unlike any other city in the United States because its sales tax-free and has the most beauty. A growing rap and rock scene in the United States for sure.

[Ernesto]

An awesome city, as well as the largest in the state of Alaska. This is the northernmost [metropolis] in the United States. In addition, it is one of the most conservative big cities in the Nation. This city was also one of the places where Dave Attel filmed the popular [Comedy Central] show: [Insomniac].

[Marquetta]

The only town in the state of Alaska that you could call a city. It has cold winters where its never warmer than the mid-30s starting as early as October and lasting until late March or sometimes even mid-April. Summers are [balmy] and usually always partly cloudy at best, with highs in the mid-50s to low 70s.

Anchorage is where [the Iditarod] is showcased near downtown before it officially starts in a small neighboring town called [Wasilla].

Its a state with a Northwest mentality but Alaska is definitely different than Washington or Oregon. Youd have to stay up here for a while and get to know people to see it. A lot of people smoke weed here, and the weed here is among the strongest and cheapest of anywhere Ive been in America. Usually just 40 an eighth, 280-320 an ounce. Lots of nice people, and you have lots of assholes. Has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation, but thats probably because of the overall lack of sunlight, the prevalent use of alcohol and the availability of heroin, and for some reason the native population has a higher suicide rate per capita.

Theres a lot of outdoorsman stuff to do, like go hiking [Anchorages] many surrounding Chugach mountains, and fishing all over South central Alaska is awesome and places like [Seward] are heaven for [halibut] and [silvers] certain times of the year, where [Kenai] and [Soldotna] are great for kings, silvers and reds, just depends when you go.

Referring to [genitalia] being large enough to [hamper] [movement].

[Gregory]

The largest city in Alaska. In the summer the weather the warmest it usually gets is in the 60s, while in the winter between [-10] to 20 degrees. Dark in the winter and is light in the summer.
As a resident, I do believe Anchorage is very overrated. Although it is beautiful, its honestly not a very nice place to live. There is only two malls people consider frequenting, [Dimond] Center and [5th Avenue] mall. The stores are a few years outdated, as most stores dont ship here. There isnt very much that happens, the days are very redundant.
Majority of the families are dysfunctional, drug-ridden, and/or have alcoholism in them. You at least know one person who has commited suicide here, as it is one of the highest in the nation. There are MANY dropouts, I dont mean to plague this with statistics but the Anchorage School District does have the highest [dropout] rate, roughly half of the kids in [ASD] dropout. I almost dropped out.
As for politics, there was once a majority of republicans, however this has died out over the years. Surprisingly [the Libertarian] party is quite common, and of course there is also many democrats. To most here Sarah Palin is an [emberassment].
