Another line of questioning for you. This is not 100% as of yet, but I am in the interview stage of getting a job there. I have read many post on Barrow but a couple questions I would like to know. But first the job, the company provides housing and a truck so no worries on my that but I am single and after get job (being optimistic) I would like to know a little more about dating in Barrow? A lot of single ladies in that part of the world? (I am assuming no) but optimism. Seems kind of like I will get a little lonely up there so just trying to get the 411 on it now. And the housing? Even though the company provides the housing are they nice(ish) I see on YouTube that anywhere else most people would buy them from the looks of things. But remote location so I get it, but do I need to start looking at furniture to ship? Or does barrow have a selection on furniture? I really don't plan on making an MTV cribs house but a little luxury never hurts. My biggest concern is spending cold nights alone for several years.
I was just there 2 weeks ago myself for a job interview. I will be moving there in a couple of weeks. The outside of the houses are that way because of the weather, and very expensive to keep up. From what I understand the inside are pretty nice. Furniture is hard to come by you can buy select pieces from the AC store. They told me there is also like a craigslist there to buy things as well.
