[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has a lot of drug use and poverty. The locals also hate mainlanders. FYI.[/quote] Alaskan here and this is just not true. There is homelessness and it’s obvious downtown but it’s not that different from many other cities. And the locals do *not* hate ‘mainlanders’ (which is not a term we’d use). Most locals *are* from the lower 48. It’s not like Hawaii. [/quote] +1. I’m from the “Lower 48” (a term you will hear, along with “Outside”) but have traveled all over Alaska for both work and pleasure and can confirm that the people do not hate non-Alaskans. A huge percentage of the people you’ll meet are from Texas or Louisiana (mostly went up to work in the oil business). [/quote]
