SOL in SOLdotna, Alaska

Begin with one of the most productive wild salmon rivers in the world, bring in the oil and gas industry, have almost non-existent land use ordinances, squeeze in as many strip malls, car lots and big signs as you can manage - and what do you get?

SOLdotna!

Folks call this place Slow-dotna, but that's too cliché. SOLdotna begins with S-O-L and you know that you're Shit Outta Luck in this town.
