Pseudo Names

The town is often called the "Banana Belt of Alaska" or "Baja Alaska" due to the warm ocean currents that make the weather much more mild than one would expect. That fact is a pretty closely guarded secret by the locals. The town has at least one other name too. I'll cover that one next week.

If you get this far hopefully you have realized that header picture is a spoof I couldn't resist posting. But they really do call the town Baja Alaska, or the Banana Belt of Alaska.
