The Gallery Comes Down

By on April 17, 2010 in City, Coverage

Just because I’m stuck in the Vancouver Airport today doesn’t mean I don’t know what it happening in Yellowknife. After not sleeping at all last night due to a red eye flight and a 4 hour time change, I found out early this morning that the Gallery was indeed being torn down today.

The once popular bar has been around Yellowknife for sometime and I’m sure hold memories for some… if they can even remember them. The bar and above ground levels have been unoccupied for a couple years now and Frostbyte Cafe as the last establishment to move out about a year ago after some serious flooding.

Thanks to the support of Facebook Fans and Twitter Followers, YkOnline was able to get the following photos. They can all be seen at http://Facebook.com/YkOnline

Saturday is Packed Too – Nov 20, 21 Events

By on November 20, 2009 in Events

Like last Saturday, this one will be just as busy. So events happening Friday and Saturday (Nov 20,21) are as followed, The New Moon Movie. No we’re not all into Twilight? I guess not…. No in all seriousness there will be a lot of fun things happening this weekend.

Friday night is full of local entertainment.

  • Starting off we have a band break up, oh sorry we have The Break Up opening for Mary Caroline‘s CD release at the Top Knight Pub. The music starts at 8pm and goes until 12am.
  • If the bar music sense isn’t your style, the St Pat’s Drama Production is putting on A Christmas Carol on both Friday night and Saturday night. The show starts at 7:30pm both nights and is help a NACC in Sir John High School.

All day Saturday there is something to do.

  • For starters the Aurora Art Societies Art Expo is happening all day Saturday and Sunday. The Expo will be happening in the DND Gym located inside the Multiplex to the right. It goes from 11am to 5pm both days.
  • Later in the day the annual City Santa Clause Parade will be taken float (HA). This years theme is Christmas across Canada, the night will be filled with lights and cheer. The parade goes from City Hall, down main street and finishing at Sir John High School (Just in time for you to catch the last showing of A Christmas Carol).
  • Then after all that, Havana Night is back at Fuegos. From 10pm to 12:30am the Latin dancing will hit the floor. Get all the information on Facebook.

If there is something else going on that I have missed leave a comment below. Have a good weekend.
