Snowflake, Manitoba population: 2
I've always found this nearly deserted community enchanting, something about the name and its two, forlorn grain elevators overlooking the prairie landscape near the Pembina Valley. It was once a thriving farming community of 150 around WW2, but those days are long gone.

Flin Flon, is also an odd, quirky town.
Its sewage system was built above-grade, also functioning as sidewalks because building in the Canadian shield is expensive.
It was named after a science fiction character.
Its located on the MB/SK border, like Llyodminster between AB/SK.
Some of its up-and-down streets are reminiscent of those in San Francisco, if it were shrunk and transplanted into the Canadian Shield.
There was once a plan to develop an urban corridor in the Canadian Shield, and Flin Flon was to be transformed into a metropolis.
Plus, its "the best" place for viewing the northern lights...does every northern community capitalize on this?
And...home to Manitoba's tallest free standing structure (825 ft tall)!
