I loved living in YK, thanks for bringing back all these great memories. I don't think I could go back to living there now that I am used to the luxuries of living the "south" lol. I also do not miss the freezing winter there. Maybe when I retire, I'll go back.
@@garbageday587 Lmao, Quebec City's winters don't even remotely compare to Yellowknife's. The coldest day in a typical winter for Quebec City is comparable to an average winter day in Yellowknife (-23/-31 C before wind chill).
Thanks for sharing. Bring back some memories. I lived there for 9 years, its a nice small town, everything is close to home. The winter was brutal, cars need to be plug in otherwise it wouldn't start next morning. It seems to be more quiet than before.
it looks a very beautiful city of northwest territories. I have seen it on the google map and I saw it all.... Everything is so pretty. For what I can see is: it seems that everything is quite relaxing.. but I think it's better go there on summer because on winter must be so cold. greets from Mexico. Canada is so beautiful. I've already been in Calgary, Alberta
Greetings from Australia, Yellowknife looks beautiful don't know how I'd cope In winter, we are lucky If our temperatures get below 10 degrees In my part of Australia In winter.
Great clip Hope visit this city in the futur coz i received only good's vibration from there when i read wikipedia about this town last month 9 skyscraper for 20 000 population ( look'like 200 000 LOL!!!!) Positly incredible info coz i love skyscraper
I wish to say that Yellowknife is not about architecture - although I love that the city, though small, is clean and in good shape; Yellowknife, guys, is about WINTER!! So, to everyone who hasnt seen Yellowknife, go there during winter. December-January. You’ll see a real Northern winter - and it lasts for a looong (starts in October, finishes in April) time!
I really wanted to visit when L’Heritage and Thorntons were still open. I’d love to see some real fine dining options in town. If anyone knows of any, please let me know :-]
No offence but it looks like a car dependent town. lots of asphalt, parking. Parking should be in the back of the buildings. I would not put too many stairs in front due to the snow. I would cover the sidewalks in colonnades against the snow. I do not like the colors. Depressing in winter. Also I do not like 90% of the Architecture. Big square boxes with leaky roofs that small income can not afford. Looks like a depressing cooperate town. They should build like 100 years ago with more colors and no stairs in front due to the snow. Everything closer together so people need no cars.
Agreed 100%. But it actually looks to me as a rather typical north-American city. Dead boring functional architecture. As you say, mostly right angles everywhere. No creativity whatsoever in designing public space. People moving around by car almost exclusively, even when the weather is nice and temperature mild. And they all seem in a hurry because there is absolutely nothing to see or do in the streets other than moving quickly from A to B. No a single place to sit and chat and meet people outside. Did not see a single little city park. Looks more like a depressing half-ghost town of a dystopian paranoid society.
Most of North American cities are car-dependent! Yellowknife is a special Northern town, it has amazing northern lights every winter and very special tundra-like nature. It’s not depressive at all, it’s unique and different, most of the year (more than half) temperatures are -20 and everything is covered in perfect white snow, no gross mud of big cities - it looks like a Christmas postcard. It’s very special and it’s not easy to live due to its remoteness. Also, it’s 20.000 people, but there are over 100 different ethnicities from all over the world. It’s an amazing place, but it’s not for everyone
@@aytsanaksdur7264 it's like that with every place they are not all perfect, what are the summer's like here In my part of Australia it easily gets over 45 degrees.
