I love this time of year, especially in Kingston. There’s nothing like a limestone wall covered in bright red leaves on the backdrop of a gorgeous blue sky.

Hey there, and happy Friday. This week we welcomed Kingston’s hippest Librarian to the City, and are optimistic that once she’s nonnomadic, she might be willing to share some of her experiences as a newcomer to our burgeoning metropolis.
