Chosen City

I collected my columns under Chosen City that ran in What’s Up Yukon? and put them here.

Chosen City was a column that spotlighted Yukoners and why they came to the Yukon, especially why they chose the city. You have to go a long ways out of the way to find us. Our stories are unique in details, but share many common desires. Here you can read about Yukoners, the interesting ways we got here, in Whitehorse, in the Yukon, and why we continued to stay.

(Nov 20th’s column was a parody of myself–after awhile I noticed how alike all these columns started sounding, like there was a pattern, and so I just made fun of my pattern.)
