Virtual Tour of Dillingham

Some people wanted a tour of Dillingham, and while I cannot (yet) upload a video of a tour, I can take a few pictures. So here you go, in no particular order : 


Views of the Middle / High School


The University of Alaska, Fairbanks - Bristol Bay Campus

Dillingham's only bank, and one of two national brands here.
NAPA, of course, being the other. 
The local hardware store. Look close and you will see the
McCain / Palin sign by the main entrance.

Two views looking down the main drag. 

The Dillingham Post Office, aka Alaska's version of Facebook.
The Dillingham Library and Sam Fox Museum
The Public Safety / DMV / Jail building. 
The Public hockey rink. Face it, what town is complete
without one of these?
Neqleq Variety Store. Think of it as
Dalton Humphrey's Everything Store. 
The Public Used Vehicle Lot, on the grounds of the
Public Hockey Rink. Makes sense to me.
Bristol Express. The town's one and only convenience store.
Because two blocks away is just too far to walk to get to a
grocery store. 
Dillingham's Fire Department
AC. One of two grocery stores. 
N & N. The other grocery store. 
The Muddy Rudder. I know you are thinking it's a hell
of a name for a bar. And you would be wrong.
This is a restaurant. 
Arctic Chiropractic.

City Hall

Dillingham Hotel
The Dillingham Nursing Home

The Dillingham Water Tower. We hope to be able to afford
the top of it some day. ;-)
The... not city, not county Courthouse
Another view of the Dillingham Schools Middle /
High School

Low tide. During high tide add about 20 feet of water to this.
Last, but not least, the Thai Inn. Where the menu consists
exclusively of the finest Mexican cuisine. Yep. A Thai
restaurant that serves only Mexican. I don't make the rules,
folks, I just do the reporting of them.

To your left of the main building is where our apartment is.
We should be moving in Saturday.
