It's not so bad. Really. Though there are certainly places in and around this city I avoid at all costs, there is enough beauty in things like the view of the Valley at night from Mulholland to make me occasionally glad I'm here. (I did just return, however, from southern Ohio/northern Kentucky, and nothing compares to how DARK it gets in them thar hills.)


> Howard, I am surprised you actually thought of Anchorage as pretty. I can tell you a story behind Mystrom's [our mayor] little City of Flowers Campaign. And his City of Lights.... Anchorage has waaaay too many people, too many tourist stops, and not enough quality. I mean, it has its high points, but I'd hardly call the PAC beautiful. I can't wait to hear your impression of that particular city....
