I was born in Anchorage at the old Hospital in 1980. I came here to enjoy the video because I haven't been home since 1995. The memory over-load was welcome. Thanks for this.
My family lived in Anchorage in 1962 when I was 11 and I don't recognize anything, which can be expected. I find this video of Anchorage fascinating 59 years after I lived here.
@marcoschance9854 It was a white man's world, my father's WWII generation, the Madmen TV series generation. It has improved significantly when I revisited Alaska last year. It is no longer my father's Alaska, which is a good thing. The Native Alaskans suffered greatly from Tuberculosis back then. I did see the famous Native Alaskan George Attla race in the Fur Rendezvous as a kid in 1962. I am very impressed that Anchorage still has a lot of open space for wildlife. When we lived in the Turnagain area, moose would run through our backyard. I was very pleased that a Native Alaskan woman was elected as Alaska's U.S. Representative. I donated several hundred of my father's, Harold Obert, slides to the University of Alaska-Anchorage library. He took photos of Valdez in 1962, which was destroyed in the 1964 earthquake by a tsunami.
As someone who was born there and raised there and still live there it’s a very very beautiful place that nature is nice the city is good it’s just a good place to be despite the cold Alaska is one of the best places you could ever go to
I was in Anchorage last week. Much warmer and friendly than I expected. The helicopter tour woed me, especially the mighty mighty glaciers. I had salmon strips that tasted nice and I wish to visit again to expwrience the mid night sun.
@@mekia5200 talking about earthquakes I've been in several like in northern California to southern California then up here. Hope u stay up here , enjoy your day
I'm a relative of Jay Livengood who founded Livengood mines in Livengood Alaska. No Livengoods have any holdings in the mine anymore, but it's still a cool thing for us to go to Livengood Alaska, like a pilgrimage. Hoping to make a trip there. It's a tiney town, but I'd still like to go, just to se where the great grandad was.
I live in fairbanks an been to lyevin-good a bunch of times .old cabins an new people mostly from Texas. What is the proper pronunciation of your last name ?
I just joined the Air Force on November 2022 and last night found out I'm getting stationed in Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, AK. My wife and I are looking forward to experience the beauty of Alaska.
I’m excited to go to Alaska from Richmond Virginia for my 32nd bday next year. Planning it out now. Airbnb hopefully to hike, sauna, see nature and just get away
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
I had a love hate relationship with Anchorage. I grew up there and it's as different as you've heard. long winter nights and long summer days. We had so much fun all summer long. Right outside of town (technically above) there's a great hiking and climbing spot. it was just above my house. a ski slope down the road. the cliffs just south of town along the highway. We always went to Kenai and Soldotna for fishing and stuff though. that's a few hour drive down the peninsula. you get used to it. I took it for granted waking up to see such a majestic place. We never again stopped at the red light on O'mally and Birch. Sliding down backwards in that tiny car spinning tires. not nearly as bad as the time we started sliding going down. In a van.
I live in Anchorage but there were still some things you showed that I want to see too! It's usually much warmer in July than it has been this year so far, usually it's in the 70's. We've lived here for 12 years and wouldn't live in any other state!
@@bear1271 Wait when did it get that hot in Anchorage? Because all I remember this summer was a ton days in the 60's and 70's only a few days in the 80's. Now summer of 2018 yeah that sucked, and was way too hot for here.
I'm living in Anchorage some other places to eat are Jackie's Place for breakfast, Tommy's Burger Stop for well burgers and Moose's Tooth for local beer and pizza and tour the breweries there's Midnight Sun and King Street and lot more.
I tried Moose Tooth when I was there last month! It was pretty good. I had a 1/2 and 1/2 pizza "Call of the Wild" and "Avalanche" style. I liked the "Avalanche" side a little more but good pizza overall!
I visited Anchorage to get a float plane endorsement on my pilots licence, at Lake Hood, alongside the airport.. Had a blast and was impressed by the "Can do" attitude of the locals. Yes I do intend to go back.
I went last weekend just for the hell of it..... Alaska Crepery was great. $2.00 ride the city bud all over. I actually really liked it even in the winter,folks were super nice
@@TheOfficialStaxx That's incorrect on both counts. 1) President McKinley never visited Alaska. 2) He had no ties to Alaska, Denali, or its americanized branding of "Mt. McKinley". How it got the "Mt. McKinley" name is a crazy story of its own; completely done out of political, greedy, spite by a goldminer who had no ties to McKinley who had just been become the Republican Presidential nominee. After he was assassinated in office, the name became official to commemorate his memory. Again, crazy story, but other than being murdered - President McKinley had nothing to do with naming the mountain he never saw in the state he never visited.
With each passing day, I think of moving there. Of all things, the thoughts of getting my driver's license there is keeping me here. I have less than prefect vision in one eye so I know I'd need a contact in...or glasses.
I'm planning on traveling to 'Anchorage ' on ' Labor Day ' weekend next month you're video is informative this should help me on my travel to Alaska thank you 😊
I wouldn't call anchorage a massive metropolis 😂 it's a beautiful city but it felt very isolated when I was there in July 😞 Barely ne people on the roads or out
@@Ruby-ph4kc if your from Seattle anchorages standards for alot of people is not alot of people you know. It's sort of weird how the seattle area has over 2million people.
It can depend where you come from. I visited New Orleans and then moved to Los Angeles and the bustling downtown of my hometown of like 400,000 looks empty to me now. But back then it seemed full of ppl. I think it depends what you're used to.
Anchorage seems to be comparable to another Amarillo, Santa Cruz, Modesto, San Jose, and other independent, standalone American cities of under 500K population. Anchorage has the exact opposite issue to that of Phoenix, Arizona. Both have something of a, "Come stay for a while and see if you like it." attraction. People emigrate to Phoenix, Arizona and leave after a year or so, chased out by the unrelenting, blazing heat. People emigrate to Anchorage and leave after a year or so, chased out by the unrelenting, Arctic cold and snow.
Massive metropolis would be 1,000,000 Big city would be 400,000-1,000,000 Medium city would be 150,000 to 400,000 Small city would be 150,000 below A metro can be any size Anchorage's metropolitan area is a rather small metropolis Anchorage itself is only as big as a medium size city.
Hey! You missed my 30 ft Whale sculpture at 310 K st. between 3rd and 4th - Just across from the Court House. They call it "The Whale Building". But you did do a fine job in the time you spent in our town and in your editing room.
I want to treat my father on a vacation to Alaska, what are do’s and don’ts? We’re really close with the USA and visited a lot but not Alaska yet! Thanks :)

If you experience Alaska outside of Anchorage you will appreciate the amenities that Anchorage has to offer on your way to and from AK.
I moved to Anchorage last October from Louisiana. Big difference but I love it.
What do you think of all the daylight?. Wait till winter

I've lived here (well Eagle River so a 20 minute drive) all my life, just coming by to see where i should take my friends when they come visit
Jeff, depression came over me with this city. Maybe it is the cloudy weather. You do give a great tour though!
Yeah, if many days are cloudy in a row for me, it start to feel "sad" outside
Except for winter if theirs lights out
Headed to Alaska in a couple of days! Hope I have great time..

I recommend girdwood, talkeetna, Seward, and Whittier if you wanna stay close to anchorage and see some cool little spots

Massive metropolis would be 1,000,000
Big city would be 400,000-1,000,000
Medium city would be 150,000 to 400,000
Small city would be 150,000 below
A metro can be any size
Anchorage's metropolitan area is a rather small metropolis
Anchorage itself is only as big as a medium size city.
