Lived there in the early 80's. Working at the YK Centre with Roy Williams and the gang at YK Electronics. The sound of the tires on the snow... you don't get that in the south very often. Traction? Not much snow there and when it's that cold, it's pretty sticky. Easy to get around. Certainly has grown up a lot from my days. I lived the apt building opposite cover to the YK Centre.... beside what was the Legion at the time. Not sure what's there now.

I was at a red light in Toronto and saw one of those polar bear license plates on the car ahead of me. I had never seen one before and thought it was cool and I wanted a picture of it. So I took out my phone and snapped a picture not realizing the bloody flash was still on. The dude ahead of me saw and gave me a thumbs up but I was so embarrassed.

This is such a familiar route, yet so unfamiliar. I left there in 1985. So much has changed and what about all those traffic lights! Unbelievable.

[@golavoda2644]

I've been here and I really traveled around the world, but this place is the most depressed, isolated, with extreme cold with barley day light, during short summer (usually June-mid September) you have daylight night, especially in June, too many drunk locals on the streets, especially downtown. Electricity and heating are so expensive and even grocery comparing to some provinces. Too many polluted lakes with arsenic. A "nicer" area in YK with the houses worth over million CAD sitting on sewage so in April and May when the snow start to melt the sewage stinks kilometers away from that area for a couple of months. I spent couple of months working on some project 2017 and still don't get it how people can live in that isolated town called "City of Yellowknife". The only spectacular sign is aurora borealis, but you can find that in a way better other places.
