Nome feels much like any other small town in America. It's right on the Bering Sea coast with a quaint wild-west like town center with a few restaurants, bars, and stores. Some people live a subsistence lifestyle as grocery prices are high. Nome has a rich Inupiat culture and is the last stop on the Iditarod Sled Dog race trail.

Cold, extremely isolated, lots of drinking.

My sister taught there for a couple years back in the 80's. Did not enjoy it.

That was facetious...to catch the more gloriously uninformed! No, I'd never describe Nome as "just like every other small town in America" either! Anything but!

I couldn’t imagine living there in the winter but the summers are nice with many places to explore as a visitor. In addition to the list on this site there is also the Last Train to Nowhere that is interesting particularly if you learn a little about the history of it.
