Anchorage's New Brand

The lid is tight on Anchorage's new "brand," to be revealed next week.

To honor the most ancient Isengard.gov traditions, I propose we immediately make light of this effort with our own suggested branding of Anchorage, Alaska:

"The Internet Tubes Crossroads of the World"

"Anchorage is for Stalkers"

"A Bridge Too Far"

"An Enthusiastic Tributary of British Petroleum"

"Your AM Talk Radio Fairyworld"

"Cash, Grass or Ass- No Rides For Free"

"The McKinley Building Is Finished"

"If Anything Ever Happens in Anchorage, It Will Probably Stay There"

"We Envy Phonenix"

  2. I don't have any new suggestions, just a couple of variations on your excellent ones:

    "No Cash, Grass or Ass- Everyone Rides for Free"

    "The McKinley Building is Almost Finished"

    "Anchorage is for Fuckheads"

    "I like(d) Anchorage, really. My issue has always been one of opportunity cost, hence:

    "If you can afford to come here you could to go to Paris instead."

  6. As a formerly happy resident of the city in question, I submit:

    "Hoping to lose just enough permanent residents to make Wal-Mart go away."
