Weekly Poll: May Long Weekend
It’s going to be gorgeous this weekend. OK, I have no idea if that’s true, but for the sake of today’s poll, let’s go with it because, quite frankly, I’ve had enough of winter and I need to start thinking about tomatoes and geraniums. This coming weekend is always one of my favourites. As a [...]

Weekly Poll: Best Golf Course
I don’t know a whole lot about golf. I’ve never played, and although I have many friends and family who do, it’s just never appealed to me. So I thought I’d take on this week’s poll about golf courses because I want everyone to be able to find a way to relate and vote. Although [...]

Weekly Poll: Kingston’s NHL Home Team
For fans of Canada’s game, tomorrow is a big day as the puck drops on the 2013 NHL playoffs. It’s been a strange season for fans and players alike, largely due to the prolonged lockout that delayed the start of the season by three long months.

Weekly Poll: Best Park in Kingston
Spring may be a bit slow getting to the party this year, but that hasn’t stopped Kingstonians of all ages from getting outside and enjoying our many parks and trails.

Weekly Poll: Best Take-Out in Kingston
We’ve all been there. Whether our lack of desire to prep a home cooked meal was brought on by a long day at the office, a special occasion to treat oneself to a favorite dish, or simply because of an insatiable craving, there are many days when take-out is the only option that seems right. [...]

Weekly Poll: Is Kingston Dog-Friendly?
Like people, cities can have distinct personalities. We learn about a city’s character and style through the kinds of communities it builds, the social projects it pursues, the type of economic industry that it dominates, and the variety of events and people it tends to attract. However, one of the most underrated (but surprisingly important) [...]

Weekly Poll: The Problem With St. Patrick’s Day
‘Tis the morn after all those St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans, and chances are a few employees and students are enjoying a self-inflicted day off. While The Super Bowl, The Grey and Stanley Cups as well as the Oscars(?) are all noteworthy events that likely result in spikes in local absenteeism, unfortunately the cold hard numbers [...]
