How small is Whittier? Around 217 people liver there and it's only accessible by boat or a one-way, one-lane tunnel.
But the strangest thing about this town is that nearly all of its residents live in the same building, Begich Towers, a Cold War-era army barracks built in 1974. A police station, grocery store, clinic, church, convenience store, and school are all housed within the structure.
Begich towers also has a bed and breakfast, and guests are welcome to come and observe how life goes on in the near one-structure town. Reddit user Hylieanhero88 and his girlfriend decided Whittier was worth experiencing as part of their vacation, and has posted his thoughts in a thread, along with his photo travelogue.
