Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I can't mention everything; it's a long post as is. How about volunteering to be tagged for the meme? Then you could fill in the gaps and add some new stuff, too. I'm not sure which "road side attraction" you mean. Would it be The Beringia Centre? And I didn't know that a movie star attended a Whitehorse high school recently. Hi Andrew,

I’m not sure which “road side attraction” you mean. Would it be The Beringia Centre? And I didn’t know that a movie star attended a Whitehorse high school recently.

Two things you forgot: our road side attraction, the weather vane, and a certain famous movie star that I went to high school with.
