Hey, that looks like a scene from my N MN days!! I do miss ice fishing here. We don't have the ice in SE. The lakes might be impassable but it's not good enough ice to walk/fish on. It was always fun to ice fish all day on a sunny spring Sunday; you could bundle up in Carharrts and then strip down to your T-shirt and listen to the ice creak!

Happy drilling...how thick does it get?

Most of the local lakes are running 10 to 24 inches thick. Might be more now that I've been gone a week. Still been cold in my area. Those are pretty tiny fish actually. There are much bigger rainbows in the Kenai. We just chose to try that little lake that day.

Default Fairbanks

I am going to be relocating to Fairbanks for a job in June. What is the best zipcode to live in? What I mean is-which zipcodes have the most educated and upwardly mobile people in Fairbanks?

I don't know what you mean by upwardly mobile...but here is the city web site. Someone correct me if I am wrong...but I think there is only one zip code of 99701.

You can e-mail the mayor at smthompson@ci.fairbanks.ak.us and perhaps he can enlighten you on just where those highly educated upwardly mobile types gather. You'll go far with an attitude like that in these parts. You'll find highly educated people in any given nook and cranny of this state. Don't for a minute take anyone for granted. Just because some of us choose to live rural or dress less than for success...does not make us any less educated.

And first off the regurals on this forum are upwardly mobile people. have all different zip codes an second Every person's success is measured also in respect and unselfish spirit they each hold within.

I wasn't aware that educated people still use the term "upwardly mobile". Let me guess, it's an 80's retro thing?

I knew this was coming. And I probably started the whole thing. I for one did'nt like the way you asked that question and found it just a little insulting. You sounded like a snob...not sure if you are or not...but it sure sounded that way to me. I apologize if your not! I'm sure alot of the other states have those types of issues in regards to rich and poor, highly educated or not, black and white, this and that. Sure there are good places and bad places in any town. But we don't segregate anyone to certain neighborhoods or zip codes because of education. And it seems there is more than one zip. I had no idea. And I still have no clue what you meant by upwardly mobile? Politicians? Community leaders? Drive a nice looking RV? Private pilot? Your gonna have to break it down for me...I only made it to grade 12!
Also...not everyone posting here is from Alaska.
