This was the grocery store that closed I think last summer
This is the hardware store that now also sells a bit of groceries
We have a golf course that runs all through town
Town office
There are a lot of rundown buildings around town. They seem like such a fire hazard, we don't know why they just aren't demolished
And the streets are paved with... PAVEMENT!
Visitor Info Centre
Bank
The liquor store/territorial agent
Recreation Centre

me again!
ok, so is there another grocery store? or do you have to drive to whitehorse? i guess matt can bring some too since he travels in and out.
also, where is YOUR COAT? haha. i know that feeling, positive temperatures feel like the tropics after a long cold winter.
please more pics of your neighborhood etc. you never know, us northerners (joe and i) might be moving some day soon!
What a cute little town! It looks like you have everything you need, all except a Northern!
Looks like quite the little place. Am I correct in assuming there are a lot of derelict or extra useable houses as a result of the mining activity Faro used to have? We have a pile of derelict buildings here too so I know they can be quite the eyesore. Good looking school. I'm surprised by its size for a small number of students.
Hey Way Way Up!
You are right. The mine went down the tubes in the late nineties. The school was built prior to that when the community numbered over 2000. We have the best recreation facilities outside of Whitehorse!
There is so much housing here that is such an eyesore. Apartment complexes, town houses and whole homes. You can move here and pick up a house anywhere between $40k and $90k.
i was just thinking, after living in Nunavut, going out in that weather without your coat is nothing...lol I was walking around winnipeg, pregnant with Ben (the little heater) in just my tshirt and everyone was staring, if they only knew how warm I was.
very nice pics and you are lucky, your little boy will keep his shades on.
