"Please save your money and find your place in the 48"
Alaska begs to differ... 49!
According to the 2010 census, there are 710,231 people in Alaska, with nearly 1/2 living in Anchorage.
At first I thought it was coincidence, then strange, that so many people in Hawaii are from Alaska, especially retirement folks. Then when I got older, it didn't seem strange at all. In the 48, people retire someplace warm like Arizona or Florida. Alaskans go to Hawaii. Well, at least some of them do.
