Moose Creek  At the peak of the hill would have been the IFC/Admin building for A-2-562 "Site Tare" . Nothing remains of that building but the launcher buildings are in tact and being used by the Chena River flood control project.

About 1/2 way between Site Tare and Fairbanks was North Pole Alaska becuse of the name "North Pole" they had a thriving business a Santa House.

Here is Paul Kulba in Santa's Chair

Fairbanks and Eielson AFB may not had parking meters but they had thes "hitching posts"  Cars/Trucks were kept plugged in so they were easier to start.
