For many residents, this means log cabins in the woods, long drives to metropolitan centres, or hiking on the tundra. But it's something entirely different for the 220 residents of Whittier, Alaska. Whittier, about 50 kilometres southeast of Anchorage, is connected to Alaska's highway system by a four-kilometre one-lane tunnel through a mountain. The tunnel shuts down at 10 p.m. local and reopens at 7 a.m. But the residents of Whittier also have a unique living arrangement: almost everyone lives in the same apartment complex. The Begich Tower was built by the U.S. Army in 1952 to be used as a barracks during the Cold War. After the army left in 1960, Whittier citizens took over the building's 196 units.
