Ebbie:

I saw some website where fans of "Northern Exposure" were trying to decide if there was in fact an Alaska equivalent to Cicely, the town in the TV show that was supposed to represent some village in Alaska. I think the nearest they could come was Tok. For sure the producers of the show weren't going to do any filming in Tok!

Bear Tooth apparently got its name because the folks who own it are the owners of Moose's Tooth, one of the better Pizza venues in town. (Moose's Tooth is also one of the fiercer peaks in the Alaska Range).
And just yesterday the cops had to shoot a grizzly bear in downtown. The bear was due to be relocated, but too many sightseers in its vicinity made the authorities decide to put it down. When they opened him up they found he'd been eating an all natural diet, so he'd 've been a prime candidate for relocation.
