Not a chance. The BOT is alive and well. What would Nome do without that institution...... With 9 bars and 11 churches, we are right where we want to be....

Why are all the trucks so dirty ? No car washes in Nome i guess.

Drunk walks across the ice back to the ice breakers in a ground blizzard with no shoes!

Meeting gals, doing the inevitable, no rooms in either place, in the middle of the night, well use the sofa in the lobby.

Floor to ceiling cases of beer, finish weekends of the iditarod.

All a hell of a lot of fun.
