So uh.. being one of the two resident-Alaskans on this board, I figured we better keep our street cred up around here... just thought I'd share some of my favorite snapshots of my favorite city.
btw as promised to Ex-Ithacan, I'll do some "walking" around midtown this spring
6th avenue.. pretty quiet
looking down G street.. it's a good street
view from the airport. Yes, it's Ted Stevens International. No, Ted Stevens is not dead.
midtown as seen from downtown
Ship Creek just below downtown
yeah not everything is hunky dorey and pretty around here..
Delaney Park Strip. John Paul II had mass at this spot 25 years ago
view from Government Hill.. my retirement neighborhood
4th Avenue
ciao.

A town that has always intrigued me and considering how isolated and the relativly small population it seems impressive physically as well. I also would love to see some residential neighborhoods.

LMich, I'll see what I can do. Though the city is not even 100 years old, there are indeed some neighborhoods and historic buildings worth noting.. thanks I hadn't thought about that!
oh and as for the construction, that is indeed the new convention center which broke ground in early summer.
GR2NY - I can't say the scene is large, but there is indeed a fan base. Bone Thugs and Harmony are coming up here in January.
