Thanks for the nice read about Fairbanks,
Chugach! I live out towards the Goldhill/Ester area and rarely ever venture downtown. Mention of Lavelle's however has got me thinking it might be nice to pop in for dinner some evening. Their Chicken Champignon is memorably delicious. Today however, I think I'll hit one of our many fine Thai eateries - perhaps Lemongrass as it's closest to home. The daytime high today is projected to be -31F

(Hey - it beats -41F!!)
