I Lived in Whittier, Alaska: A Town Under One Roof

Season 10 Episode 12 | 3m 06s

Erika Fitzgerald jumped at the opportunity to teach in Alaska after graduate school. She didn't expect she'd be living and working in Whittier, a town where nearly all residents live in the same building, and the only way in and out is through a tunnel that closes each night. Erika's story was first featured in 2013 and INDIE ALASKA contacted her to see how she felt about her time in Whittier.
