Luke’s Kitchen

Back in March of 2008, Kingstonist published our second food-related post, which featured a well known dining establishment by the name of Luke’s. This local culinary gem is special for many reasons, while it has arguably put Kingston on the map for foodies and critics alike.  As a part of last week’s Kingston Canadian [...]

Sometimes my lack of a cable television subscription doesn’t pay off, as I’m constantly out of the loop when it comes to staying on top of the latest local tv commercials.  Today, by chance, I came across an online commercial for the annual Kingston Canadian Film Festival, which is going down from March 3rd until [...]

ReelOut 11 is Burning

Movies in the Square

With the terrible Winter and cool Spring we’ve had, I think most of us are really looking forward to the hazy days of Summer.  Whether you plan on hitting up the local golf course, taking in a tour at Ft. Henry, or simply hopping on your bike, there no shortage of things to see and [...]

One of the truest signs of spring around the Limestone City is the re-opening of Kingston’s one and only drive-in movie theatre. Last summer we visited the Kingston Family Funworld on two separate occasions. The first double feature we took in consisted of Iron Man, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the [...]

Ghostbusters III to Film in Kingston

I can still remember my first trip to a drive-in movie theatre back in the 80’s.

As the credits began to roll, we drove [...]

Twitter in #Kingston

I love Twitter! I am so in love with Twitter! But whenever I say Twitter, I normally get a few confused looks glancing in my direction. Then someone might have a go and ask, “What is Twitter?”
Twitter is many things. It can be your daily news feed giving you updates around [...]
