Way up in northern Canada's Northwest Territories is the city of Yellowknife. It may be a bit more obscure than London or Paris but I love obscure places. Despite an average January high and low temperature of -8F and -23F people do live there and there is a small but modern skyline. (It probably helps that there are diamonds and gold in the ground.)
