Lean On Me

Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada, site of the big boom town from the Klondike Gold Rush. The town still has all the old buildings and wooden sidewalks and dirt streets from gold rush days ... it didn't change long enough that not-changing became profitable. It's something of a tourist destination, though art galleries and coffee shops now occupy all the old saloons.

 

This building is something of an icon. The city prints it on the cover of all its tourist brochures, though I have no idea of its significance.
