Here's a windshield shot of beautiful downtown Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.  For about four blocks, it looks just like a real city, then it gets kind of frontier-like, with log buildings mixed in with corrugated metal sheds, then a few regular suburban neighborhoods with schools, curling rinks, ball diamonds, etc., then a trailer park, and to top it off, a Wal-Mart (the smallest we've ever seen, but nevertheless, a Wal-Mart!).  The YK Centre on the right is actually a city block-sized building totally enclosing a shopping mall and an office complex in one structure so one need not walk outside in the sub-arctic winter.
