Episode: In Whittier, Alaska, A Lot Of Residents All Live In One Building
Description: Today in 1959, Alaska became the 49th state in the Union. It’s unique in so many ways, like how a large part of one Alaskan community lives in a single 14 story building. Plus: a town in Romania is offering free bus passes to those who do a little exercise.
