On task: Yellowknife, NWT
On New Year’s Eve I was sitting in Astoria, Oregon staring at this licence plate from the Northwest Territories, Canada over the best chowder I have ever put in my mouth. I’d seen it as a child, as an adult I was captivated. The shape of the plate completely captures my imagination. I want to drive by Polar bears! I want this plate on a big blue (electric) truck that carries huskies, firewood, and things!
Some of what is coming out of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada:
What is happening in a province so forgotten that it still has the word “Territory” associated with its place-name? I think as netizens it is important to seek out the corner areas. There are many prizes tucked away in them. And, after checking out the corners of the internet, we’ll probably realize, from a different perspective, it was really us in the corner.
i’ll take a truck load of firewood, furry dogs, and stark landscapes any day.
I love that you posted about these! I was born in Yellowknife and I think my brother still has the plate from when we lived there. We got to visit a few years ago and it is an amazing and inspiring place! Definitely some place to visit, but not an easy place to get to either.
Thank you!
Awesome, sure thing Jessica – excellent!
Cool.
