Welcome to my town..

Since my good friend Gayle is always taking pictures around Fairbanks, I thought I would give it a try around North Pole. These were taken with my camera phone out the car window, around 9:30am. The sun was just starting to rise.

If you look close you can see the candycane pole that the McDonald's sign is on.
and our candycane light poles that line the street...

This famous guy is on display at the Santa Claus house
