I just got back from Nome. The ocean is beautiful the town however is a very depressed area. It is super expensive which is expected because it's in the middle of nowhere there are very few restaurants I don't think there was one restaurant that serves breakfast. I'm glad I went to experience it.

Thanks for the comment! If I may ask, what makes you think the town is a depressed area? My view is that the life is going on a slightly different level over there so it may seem slow but the locals I had a check to speak with were nice people and not depressed.

Nome is fairly large in size but I agree, it may feel small, that may be because of a many one story houses. Heating up large homes in winter is not practical, too :) Thank you for the comment.

Thanks for the video. My dad spent two years there during World War 2. The Army Air Corps base there was instrumental in shuttling American aircraft to the Russians during the war. It was called the lend lease program and it was a fairly large operation. I still have lots of photos of what it looked like in the 1940’s. Nice to get a feel for what it must have been like. Always wanted to go.

Hi Mike! Sorry it took me long to answer, I was thinking about your comment since you wrote it. Thank you for sharing the story. I am well aware of the Lend Lease program, this is one of the greatest examples how USA and Russia could work together for the world's benefit. There's a monument for Lend Lease you can find in downtown Fairbanks. I am interested to hear more about your photo archive of Nome in the 40s. Are they paper pictures or digital?

Try two places: "Nome Nugget", they are a good local newspaper with lots of local connections, tell them you need to connect to people putting houses for rent; or call the city hall with the same question. Also try a local Facebook group, one should exist. Good luck with looking for gold! Hope you'll get rich :)

You probably mean something entirely different with your question. Say, if you're migrating from overseas and can pick any place in the US, why would you want to come and settle in Nome, AK? Well, maybe you don't. But if you are originally from these lands, your question "why does anyone want to live here?" is basically the same as "why would anyone want to live at home?". People have been living here for thousands of years. And there are newcomers as well, from both overseas and the lower 48 states. The Great North is an enigmatic place and it attracts the strong hearted people.

Thank you for the thoughtful & insightful reply in response to the “dump” comment. Nome is my hometown and I lived there 24 years before moving to the lower 48. You are so correct. With such short summers, harsh winters, and limited availability of building materials and the expense to fly or barge them up, making things pretty isn’t a huge priority for many. And painting your house is rather futile when Bering Sea storms are so rough on things year round. That said, while homes look rough on the outside, many are modern and beautiful inside. Can’t (and shouldn’t!) judge a book by its cover. I love my hometown and the people who live there. We’re a tough breed and value the remote way of life. ❤️
