An entire town lives in one building (Whittier, Alaska)

This is the town

and this is where (almost) all of them live. A 14 story building with a school, post office, shop, church, police department are all in there too.

Love finding out about those extremely remote places. Ireland may be rural, but it's got nothing on landmasses like America, Canada and Oz.

Love stuff like this.

Probably to save fuel on the engines running the fans, rather than have them running all night for an odd car now and then
