Alaska Is Connected

Elaine Krebs is another Syracuse alumna. She lived in Sitka, Alaska, for a couple of years, before regaining her sanity and moving back to the Lower Forty-Eight. Here's what she has to say:

Alaska is probably the most connected state in the US. Every city you stop in should have one or more Internet cafes. Sitka had several when we were there. The best one is in a coffee shop (I forgot the name) just kind of catty corner from the parking lot where the boats dock. You'll see a large electronics store, a large hotel across the street from that, and kind of behind that in an alley is a coffee shop with a drive up sign that you can't miss. They roast their own beans, the coffee is great, and they have several computers for public use. If you bring your laptop, I'm sure you can pick up any number of wireless signals, and that probably goes for any town that you're in.
