(I would supply a more detailed map of Elfin Cove, but this is the most detailed map on Google at least I want it to be.)
So late yesterday I learned that my best friend's wife wants them to relocate from the center of our democracy to Elfin Cove, AK. That's right, she wants to move from Washington DC to a place where the population density is 1/4 of the population density of North Dakota. And while I am certain that the place is beautiful and full of Elfin magic, I really have a difficult time thinking this would be a good long-term move for him.
I spent a few minutes this morning to get some 411 on the area. Unfortunately, Fodor's doesn't have any information about Elfin Cove, neither does Zagat.com. So I am left with very little information beyond that the area is known for commercial and sport fishing. I went to Hot Jobs to see what kind of jobs were available for him, but they had nothing listed. According to the Insider pages, there are 3 grocery stores within 50 miles of the "city." McDonald's couldn't even recommend a location where he could grab one of his prized fillet of fish sandwiches.
So while this doesn't look like a match made in heaven on paper, I do think it has potential as a TV show. Sure, Northern Exposure had its moments, but I think we can do better than that.
