Anchorage is an ugly city, but then so is LA. A quick day trip about 45 miles outside of ANC put me on a Glacier. 45 miles outside of LA gets you what?
But then, can LA beat Alaska for kitsch? We drove past this (Igloo) on the Parks Highway heading north to Fairbanks last week. Took a snapshot on the way back.
UPDATE 001: The Igloo was built by Leon Smith and his wife Elizabeth. As far as I can tell work on The Igloo started in 1972. Leon and his wife hoped to cash in on traffic on the, then, recently completed Parks Highway. From what I've read the Igloo hotel was never occupied. Leon Smith, a WWII veteran, died in 1999. I need to do more research.
