Front’s Grin and Bear it

December is all about giving, and there’s certainly is no shortage of ways to help ensure that those less fortunate have the basic essentials, and a little something special this holiday season. Kingstonians can show their generosity by donating non-perishables to the local food bank, buy a snowsuit for a child in need, throw [...]

Friday Foto

I think that my body is still out of whack from having Monday off  for Thanksgiving last week.  The fact that it is dark when I get up, and even more ominous when I return home may also be impacting my energy levels.  In that regard, don’t forget to mark your calendars for November 1st, [...]

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 [...]

The Invista-Ambassador-Rona-Swish- Whig-Standard Arena

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Kingston has more hockey arenas per capita than any other city in the world, and therefore by default we should be front runners to succeed Detroit and assume their coveted title of “Hockey Town”. With the recent allegations regarding the Mayor’s conflict of interest in [...]

There’s Always Next Year

With just over two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Kingston Frontenacs will be dusting off their golf clubs sooner than later. These days, the only thing worse than their 3rd from last position in the standings, is game attendance. I don’t think anyone was surprised by the fact that the Fronts sold [...]
