Weekly Poll: Honouring the Tragically Hip
Kingston is a city unlike any other, and yet similar to other urban centres our streets remind us of our rich and humble history. I’m not referring to the trademark limestone structures, monumental landmarks, gorgeous parks or longstanding commercial fixtures, rather the names of our well travelled streets, boulevards and avenues also serve as a [...]

The Works
Nearly one year ago, I wrote about an epic battle that was shaping up in downtown Kingston, whereby a handful of new burger and poutine joints had emerged to tantalize your taste buds. While Harper’s, Smoke’s and Five Guys have succeeded thus far, casualties of the burger/poutine war include The Poutine Place as well as [...]

Don Cherry Supports IHHOF Re-Location
The story of how the International Hockey Hall of Fame (IHHOF) came to be established in Kingston, and was later cast aside by the National Hockey League (NHL) is ripe with intrigue. Over the years, the new, official Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto has allegedly attempted to procure the IHHOF’s exhibits, as well as [...]

If you take a stroll around the campus at Queen’s University, you’ll be treated to a high concentration of outdoor art installations including Iron Man, Sakkarah, Thataway Again, Bent Yellow, A Minute of My Time, Untitled, and many more.

What if Kingston…
Wawa is home to the largest Canada Goose, while Vulcan has the U.S.S. Enterprise, Ottawa has a spider, and Beardmore has the world’s largest snowman. And the list goes on. Save for the modest-sized misshaped hockey puck at Kingston’s International Hockey Hall of Fame, the Limestone City is noticeably missing from the list of destinations [...]

How to Ignore a Celebrity
This weekend, my new bride and I made our way to Kitchener where we picked up a piano from her brother’s house, and relocated it to our new home in Kingston. (Note to all: moving a piano is not fun, always hire someone who knows what they’re doing.) So after we arrived back in Kingston [...]

Big Announcement
Kingstonist has a big, secret project that we are frantically putting the final touches on. So, be sure to visit us tomorrow when we make the official announcement. Whatever could it be? Well, we didn’t get an arena, Market Square or Library named after us. Nor did we stumble upon plans to build a second [...]
