[lifethroughmylens1]

It would have been great with sound. I loved going downtown juneau when I lived there and I also loved the vally. All of it was just so beautiful I can not describe it's beauty if I wanted to.

[ImportKnight13]

@xXDJKRIPTOHXx You have to take the Alaska Marine Highway (Ferry).

[curtbarile]

Sound or no sound, I'll bet that the time spent was great !! All 2 and a half months of it, summer only was that long and if you had an indian summer it lasted up to 3 and a half months, great video and thanks for posting.

[disengage1984]

Oh juneau, just drivin' around.

[disengage1984]

Why isn't there any music?

[pacificrules]

i miss juneau... i was there from 2000 to 2004. God bless them all.

[rayito2005]

Nice place , i love it.

[arcadies223]

I love Living here. I lived in Denver for 3 years and every time I came back it was harder to leave. I'm back for good now. Juneau is nice because it does not get all that cold. mid 20-30's in winter and upwards of 70's in summer but mostly 50-60's. I don't think I could give up the fishing, shrimping and hunting again. A lot of people get tired of the wet and cold and leave to the other extreme hot and dry. A few come back and those are the ones that Alaska has taken as her own.

[GITsL9I]

@xXDJKRIPTOHXx that would be because you cant... you have to fly or go by sea

[Moacir054]

Excelente video e da uma noção das belezas do ALASKA...é uma forma de conhecer..saúde e trabalho.

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

lol the R2-D2 mailbox was in there, i remember when that was on the front page of the paper when i lived there with some fanboy/girl dressed as a storm trooper posing next to it.

[sxv32idf]

i would actually think that the hardest thing about living there is the transportation. aren't there no roads to Anchorage? isn't Juneau really isolated?

and aren't mud slides a threat?

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

@sxv32idf lived there 2 years then again for 6 more years, never heard of any mudslides, yes you cant drive out but it isnt so bad, the fairy is multiple times a day. the only cities in southeast alaska that have roads to anchorage are haines and skagway if you wanna call them cities...more like villiages.

[fbbluv]

such a beautiful city lookslike europian cities of austria different from typical US cities of glass skyscrapers

[FLTlingit]

I miss Juneau, I was born there!

[MrDylanJG]

I have to move here to work on the ferry all summer...does anyone know where i can find a room to rent or something?

[dylanman223]

my parents liv here and i grew up here its soooo amazing

[Alaskananimefan]

I miss juneau too! &)

[2kool4koj]

B E A utiful...

[amorphousguy]

Beautiful place. I was in Juneau when I was a Coastie, working at the Federal Building. I remember the hiking and other fun times I had there.

[ultimabass]

I read your letter in the Empire, it was well written.

[bfluetsch]

thanks, I have an excellent editor in my wife.

[cabwhisperer]

OMG!!! Im going to cry thank u for posting this, i grew up here...I miss Juneau! LOVE IT !

[atlingirl76]

I live in Reno, But grew up in the Yukon, Canada, Spent lot's of time traveling as a child with my parent's all through Alaska , Yukon, Northern & Southern B.C. My Dad is a Artist he drew Black & White Post card's of all most all of the Lodges along the Alaska hwy.Top of the world hwy. & on & on . It was amazing. My husband & I desperately want to come home.We hate NV. with a passion. Hoping to come back to AK. though , It's simply amazing.

[mysteriousimport]

Juneau looks like a pretty cool place. Hey all from Las Vegas I thought Fla. was the worst state. HOT HOT HOT and FLAT FLAT FLAT not a single mountain and 90 and higher almost all year round. UHHHHH!

[domandhisipod]

I can't believe how many people from Vegas have commented here. I'm in Vegas right now as well and I thought I was the only one interested in Juneau. It is a small city after all. I can't stand the desert. The summer heat is horrible, you can't even touch your car in the summer, and forgot about sitting on leather seats. the only beach we have is a green man-made lake that's an hour away. I want to see water and snow and trees, not dirt and dry bushes. our wildlife is black widows and scorpions.

[annieville123]

@domandhisipod Wow, I thought I was the only Vegas girl who missed Juneau...didn't know there were so many here. I spent too many years there to not have it in my blood. I HATE the summers in Vegas and am happy for videos like this to make me think of Juneau even more than I do. Vegas is lame.

[AirsoftGhillie]

hey i want all of you who live in LV or AZ or any other place warm cuzz it sucks here is juneau i hate the coldness there is about 4 semi-normal stors and nothing to do!!! dont even think about moving here!!!

thank you.

[DunkenDee]

i live in lv

and it blows some big cock

pure desert

so boring

[domandhisipod]

you don't know what ya got til it's gone. We have some of the best shopping ever here in vegas but it doesn't make up for all the dirt, heat, and lack of any life.

[meowcat121]

ive always wanted to go to alaska, but now that i know its infested with sarah palin and republicans, im not sure anymore =/

[chester8721]

wow beautiful city.. it's like the GTA vice city

[Wishlist2day]

God, this is so beautiful. I live in Las Vegas and nothing about this town is pretty. Nothing but rocks and desert sand..lol

[akerik76]

just moved to phoenix from juneau. what the hell was i thinking?

[pjm5678]

@akerik76 dude juneau's awesome!

[disengage1984]

@akerik76 I'm thinkin' you're lucky.

[audveltadmuna]

@akerik76 Why did you move to Phoenix?

[kboss2011]

looks fanntastic in the summer but horrific in the winter

[ResaIsSoLameLike]

lol, I live in Juneau, and it's funny to see people get so excited about taking a drive downtown... at 2:19 in the video, you pass El Sombrero, lol. That's like the best Mexican restaurant in town...

[5yearplan1]

ResalsSoLameLike

So are there many gangs in Alaska? What about crime in general, is there a lot of crime? Does your job ever shut down due to the snow? How hot does it get in the summer months? I live in Las Vegas, it sucks here..lol No culture, no real weather. Just lots of gambling.

[ResaIsSoLameLike]

i've heard there are a lot of gangs in Anchorage, but there aren't really any here in Juneau. There's not much serious crime; a lot less crime than down south.

We usually get a few snow days every winter, but it's usually just because the roads aren't cleared enough to drive on...

the hottest temp i think we've gotten so far this year was like a week and a half ago. it got up to 80-84 degrees. it usually stays within the 55-75 range all summer, but it's mostly overcast and sometimes rainy.

[stevenreiss]

must be one of the weirdest places on earth but maybe better than siberia

[ultimabass]

lol

[cmj2k6]

moving to juneau in august

cant wait!

[ultimabass]

Beautiful!

[JoeJonasRockMyWorld]

haha soo cool..

love alaska<33

[AlvinHDavernport]

I had been Google-Earthing Juneau and my impression was that it was a fair Northwestern town without many attractions, but this video completely changed my idea of what Juneau is! It looks colorful, merry, enchanting, and has a very special charm. I definitely want to visit it during the summer. Now I'm under the impression that as a touristic destination it is underestimated.

[xxLADYRAYNExx]

Haha...I live in Juneau...

[catgumart]

What is it like?

Is it very warm in summer?

Is there good Hiking

Is there a lot of homeless people?

How about music?

Are the winters bearable?

how about the accent do people speak with any unique accent?

[xxLADYRAYNExx]

not really. It rains a lot. YEA! Theres a million hiking trails up here. we've got our share of homeless people. they mostly live downtown. Our music scene pretty much sucks. Yea the winters are bearable if you've got a warm coat. It snows a lot. then it rains, so it gets iced over. I dont think we've got accents but someone who lives somewhere else might.

[ultimabass]

If you ever saw Antiques Roadshow back at the Folk Fest in March, hopefully that shifted your thinking positively? :)

[streetlight13]

not very warm in summer.

good hiking.

tons of homeless ppl.

folkfest is nice.

winters are shite.

accent? how would we know? we live here?

[bvimadness]

hey i remember walking and driving up and down these streets.. Omg! the food at The Hanger is so great. I miss all my friends at Diamonds International.

[bvimadness]

HEY AM FROM THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND I SPENT SUMMER 08 IN JUNEAU AND OMG! I LOVE IT!THE WEATHER IS JUS SO GREAT.... ALL MY LIFE THE TEMP IS LIKE IN THE 90s DAILY AND BOY CUD I DO WITH SOME 40s and lower

[animeandy2153]

I was there last week. it was great!

[rockerruss]

WOW, that was a great video tour of downtown Juneau. Thanks a million.

[LSUNatlChamps]

Juneau is beautiful, but to live there you must be able to surivive constant cold, wet, snowy, gray miserable winters with very few people and most of the stuff closed until summer. Its drinkin time !!

[spitzbully]

Hey how long do the winters last in Juneau Alaska and when do they start? When does the first snowflake drop? What months?

[bfluetsch]

We had 3-4 inches of snow in mid October but it has warmed up to the 40's. Winters here are not brutal ugly cold like it is up north. Most of the time temps are between 15-40 degrees. It can be windy. Snow is nice because it brightens an otherwise dark environment. The dark and lack of sun is what makes living here in winter so hard, not the weather.

[sickwiththetruth]

bfluetsch,

What are the summers like there? How hot does it get? Just asking because the summers where I live are extremely hot. I am in Las Vegas.

[5yearplan1]

Sickwiththetruth

I am in Las Vegas too.  I hate it.

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

@bfluetsch not to mention the fact that even in the winter you will see more rain than snow, and it always snows, then it rains to make nice slush then freezes right after to turn loop road and any side street into a slot car track where you dont even have to use the steering wheel lol. I miss the winter driving up there. Not the weather though, ill drive to the mountains to fuck off in the snow with my truck now.

[Wivanunu]

What a beautiful town...remins me of Duluth, Minnesota. :)

[conquerer117]

I loved it for the 3 months I got to live in Juneau. It was really amazing, except for the rain. But the rain couldn't have ruined the hiking, climbing, biking, and kayaking the area provided.

[3ST2000]

Juneau is ok. I've lived there forever..sooooooohaha

[alphamone]

i have been here when i went on a cruise. though I didnt do much looking around the town as we didnt spend that long there (that is, after I had done the activity.)

[pyrotect]

thanks for that,I lived in Jueauu from 73 to89.town sure has changed a lot but some of it I remember.I lived in downtown for 5 years and the summers were crazy! couldn't walk two feet without running into or over a tourist,LOL.dead in the wintertime although the original Red Dog saloon would still be open for us locals,what a time and i wouldn't change it for the world,thanks for sharing!

[sirena1272]

My boyfriend was born in Juneau and when he spoke of the magic of the town,I wanted to have some sort of mental picture to see it as he did...Well, this video pretty much captured the Juneau he remembered...THANK YOUUUU>>>

[savtasaba]

Great idea - summer movie and winter movie in the same place.

Interesting. THANKS!

[yt86753098675309]

interesting

I will probably never be in Alaska.

[lani1986]

): I miss the trees and water so bad.

[atlingirl76]

Me 2.

[soypablo64]

World-famous chanteuse Lynda Zeno crossing the street from 3:11 to 3:13 -- and to think that I saw it on YouTube! She used to front that awesome Petersburg band Menagerie at Kito's Kave back in 2001 or so, but they weren't together long (the drummer was a real dick.)

[mandalynny]

Hey you owe me for car damage! (ha ha ha ha):)

Thanks for the PR bro. I've yet to even conquer

Juneau! LZ

[xemnas11]

ah juneau, I live in Juneau, it's very nice, my mom used to work in the marine veiw center

[snowhorses]

thanks for the summer tour. I came to Juneau this last winter for 3 months... and it is nice to see it in Green.... although I must admit that I LOVED winter white.

Hope to visit soon... but in the meantime... your vids bring it back for me. Thanks.

[elleseaak]

I live in Juneau - this doesn't show the 1/2 of it. The tourists are all over the place and don't seem to realize that people actually live and work here and need to drive places - they just walk right out in front of traffic! Glad we can share our wonderful Capital city with you all though!

[Tellingulikeitis]

So what it the typical temperature there in the summer months. Let's say starting in June?

[bfluetsch]

68-58 High and Low. Average temperature is probably 62 degrees. We had one day this summer hit 78. Our summer climate is heaven on earth if you do not like the heat. That is all three months starting in June. Believe it or not, May is usually our best month as far as warm and not raining.

[Tellingulikeitis]

Thank you very much. I was looking into maybe having a vacation home there. But only for the summer months. I live in the desert and the temperature is usually above 112 and it doesn't even cool off at night.

[Imarobyn73]

I live in Boston and the tourists and all the college students do the same thing here! lol:)

[hotie22boy]

WORD! Go Boston! Boston here too. Go Red Sox! Go PATS! Go Celtics!

[a23zzza]

I'm thinking of visiting Juneau so I enjoyed watching the video
