There is no local bar. People drink at each others houses. It is technically a dry town so no drink sales are permitted. That being said, there are ways around that. So no Northern Exposure-type hangout. Yes I know that show - in re-runs :)
There is a clinic here that is open most of the time, they can do most everything but if it is something serious they fly you to Inuvik where there is a full service hospital. There is a doctor here most of the time.
Everyone that I have encountered speaks english, there are likely some that do not though.
There are weird things at the store yes, because the store is the only place to shop so they have things from bullets to movies,, electronics, furs, etc. The meet is all frozen, most things are to get up here and still be fresh-ish. The weirdest thing in the store so far is the hamburger it comes in a tube (a bit gross).
There is another store it is a hardware store - it doesn't have much hardware but lots or porn. Weird.
Most people live in a house here but I have an apartment above my work building. It is good apartment, lots of money $$$, and not perfect, not much option up here. I will like it very much when the days are -40 and I just have to go downstairs and not walk across town.
No air-conditioning - some days get to be mid to high 20's but you just need a fan for those few days a year :)
