my husband is applying for a job in alaska (more so to see if he can get it, not so much to actually move there. but, really - you can see where his thinking is.)
the town is glennallen, ak. a quick search brought me to a little article about it. here are two paragraphs about the town:
"The town has no organized form of local government so the 600 residents take turns volunteering for the various community needs, such as running the fire department. The town began as a highway camp during World War II, and received its name from a pair of Army explorers.
Folks here gather at the Rondezvous Cafe to talk of fishing, hunting and the successes of the Panthers, the high school team. They have a 6 bed hospital and a truck stop; our Town of the Week, Glennallen, Alaska."
can you imagine when it's my turn to run the fire department? or the police department? do i get a turn running the 6 bed hospital?!?!?!
yikes!
