I was born and raised there. Thanks for the video. Makes me homesick.

Were you an Eielson AFB 👶???

[@jovivelazquez4923]

Thank you so much for doing this! I am going pcs to Alaska. Me and my wife enjoyed your tour seeing we did not know what to expect. Exactly what we wanted to see. We are good to go now. Thank you!!!!

[@Dbusdriver71]

I was stationed up at Ft. Wainwright from 87 to 91. I miss it so much that I wish I had never left at times. Your tour is very helpful and informative. Much has changed since I left. Keep these fine clips comming.

[@johnossmann7036]

I was in 5/9 Infantry from 87-91. Do I know you? And I agree about wishing I never left, but in my case, Ft. Polk called...sigh

[@Dbusdriver71]

Your name isn't familar. I was in A. Co. We were in the same batallion though.

[@donnab2440]

And i thought my husband was the only one doing ipcot 85-97 i delivered mail he was transportation EAFB yet most our friends were on Ft Wainwright 5/9 and Field Artillery scuffles what memories

[@dennishughes4641]

I don't see any issue with the shopping mall. Very much reminds me of the mall in Andalusia, Alabama when I was a youngster. Harkens back to a sadly bygone era. The sole reason I am moving my company and family to the Fairbanks area is the simplicity up there. I do appreciate the time you took to show your subscribers exactly what a modern small town truly offers, that being a relaxing environment and a simple life. Looking forward to seeing more videos of Fairbanks and the surrounding area, if that is your plan.

[@TheFeltBunnyShop_onEtsy]

Thanks for posting this. We were stationed up there in 2006-2009 and watching this sure brought back some good memories! ❤️

[@alikidimitriadis5138]

I was moving to Fairbanks for a time back in about 2010 - Had even found home schooling with a hub for my children and had done much research on life there. I had even found a knitting store!! I am so sorry we never made it up there - long story but maybe one day I'll get the chance to visit. I really enjoy the video's of all these places one would never otherwise see. Thank you.

[@Golgo33]

I was there 99-02. I miss Fairbanks and would like to go back. I don't remember having a Walmart when I was there though. So many memories. Thank you for this video!

[@tuffy2342]

Thanks for the video. I was born in Fairbanks and we moved when I was 16. Sure has changed since way back then. I enjoyed your video tour. Gavora Mall used to have Pay N Save and Market Basket grocery store when I was there. There was Safeway, Woolworths, and JC Penney downtown.

I grew up there in the mid to late 80s, I remember there being a fred meyers only, and there was a place called "the center", roller skating, a movie theater. All too vague I was just a kid.

[@ROGER2095]

Thanks for this video! On the one hand, it's impressive (and reassuring) that if I ever go to Fairbanks, I'll already be familiar. But on the other hand, it's kind of sad. Your business district looks just like suburban Chicago or Las Vegas or Santa Fe, or Nashville, or San Jose, or a thousand other American cities.

[@Philjava]

There are malls like those all over the US. Let's get a look at the Chena river, 2 street, and more of the Cushman street bridge area. you did show the Chamber of Commerce, CatHolic church and it looks like the Daily News-Miner is still in the same place. Do a video of you driving up and down the streets of downtown. That would be a good video. I haven't seen Squarebanks since the nineties. What little you showed I barely recognized.
