The vacancies along Princess Street seem to be clearing up lately, and so goes the ebb and flow of prosperity for small businesses. Within the restaurant sector, the past few years have been dominated by a flurry of new sushi spots. From Sushi Ya to Asha, Sima, Ta-ke and all the rest, downtown [...]

Zappas Lounge

Joy Supper Club closed maybe 9 months ago. I never really liked it. The main problem it had was theme nights. For example: on a Friday night, they would sometimes play Salsa music the entire night. I am all about diversity in club music and I often get tired of Top 40 but come on! [...]

Dear Prison Farm Supporters

Today is Prisoners’ Justice Day, which is a day of mourning, remembrance, advocacy and protest for those who’ve lost their lives while serving their sentences. With that in mind, yesterday’s scene involving citizens from all walks of life attempting to block the removal of the remaining livestock from the Collin’s Bay institution seems fitting. [...]

Weekly Poll: The Wireless City

In late July, New York Transit announced that they were finally moving forward on a plan that would see wireless Internet be made available on the subway.  It’s not necessarily revolutionary, as ViaRail has been offering shoddy wireless Internet to riders for a few years now.  That said, the move in the Big Apple represents [...]

It always seems to happen like this.  I take off for a few days and all of a sudden things get exciting.  In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, which is understandable given the heat wave this week, Cirque du Soleil has announced that they will kick off their upcoming tour with not one, [...]

Weekly Poll: The Future of the Poker Run

If you were to list the top 10 things to see and do in Kingston during the summer, chances are the Poker Run wouldn’t make the cut. It’s not a question of whether or not this annual event is entertaining, rather there’s only so much excitement one can expect when watching speeding boats roar [...]

We’ve finally hit another long weekend, and lucky for me, I’m extending my time off into next week for some much needed rest and relaxation.  Fret not, we’ve already got some terrific programming lined up on Kingstonist, so you won’t have to go without.  Speaking of outstanding content, we’re flattered that Kingstonist was recognized on [...]

Princess Street Promenade

When New York City announced that Broadway would become pedestrian friendly and go car-free, I wondered why the Limestone City wasn’t trying the same thing out on Princess Street.  It’s far from a new concept as select downtown streets are closed off during large summertime events such as Canada Day, Buskers Rendezvous and Blues [...]
