  • The mountains(Illinois' highest point is ~1000 feet up)
  • The scenery - In my opinion the Seward Highway is one of the most beautiful drives in the world. Especially at night, in the middle of the winter.
  • The weather, at least in the Anchorage area. Not too hot and not too cold.
  • The odd hours of daylight.
  • The raves - the Anchorage scene is not very large, and as a result is pretty tight.
  • The water - Anchorage has some of the cleanest tap water possible.
  • The relative lack of pollution/smog.
Things I won't miss:
  • The people(I could never find many people who were into computers and coding)
  • The boredom - even Anchorage is not an exciting place to be a young person unless you REALLY like to camp/hunt/fish/hike/etc. Even when I was just back there for a month recently I quickly became a video game junkie.
  • The raves - Chicago gets tons of good names and there are some really cool parties thrown here.
I like it!
