Busking at the Seems
Well, it’s that time of year again, The Buskers Festival! The celebration of music, art and incredible acrobatics began last night to a great turn out. I made my way down Ontario Street, weaving in and out of large groups of people circling performers and also enjoyed seeing all the patios full to the brim. [...]

Weekly Poll: Scramble Crosswalks
Right foot, left foot, one foot in front of the other and so on.

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 Fest. [...]

Weekly Poll: Princess Street Promenade
Happy Victoria Day! If you’re like me, you’ll likely head outside at some point in the day, whether it be for a leisurely stroll or in a last ditched effort to find an licensed outdoor watering hole. After a brief jaunt downtown this morning, I couldn’t help but notice all of the foot traffic, which [...]

For those who may have missed Jordan’s post earlier this week, or otherwise haven’t ventured downtown lately, Paul Wash‘s photo pretty much sums up the scene near King and Princess. It’s all in an effort to replace some ancient sewer system. But what sort of impact will it have on downtown businesses, rather what’s left [...]
