I've been to Sitka, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Skagway. They were part of an Alaska cruise I took with the family. All beautiful, some more than others.

All the kids in Seattle used to know Ketchikan, although they may not have realized it was a place in Alaska. A local kids television show (JP Patches) used to feature regular visits from "Ketchikan The Animal Man", who would bring in some zoo animal to show.

Oh right, Nome. Where Balto saved the day and where the Iditarod ends.
Why did my Minnesota middle school have an Iditarod unit built into the sixth grade social studies curriculum? Trivia I don’t have an answer to.

Rank the calories (per cup), lowest to highest for: Green bean casserole Gravy Mashed potatoes Cranberry sauce Stuffing I could make those such that they came in literally any order. It's all about how much fat and sugar you add.

Almost always, the more sugar and fat (and carbs), the higher the calories.
mashed potatoes < cranberry sauce < stuffing < casserole < gravy
