Weekly Poll: Alt Landmarks
If you close your eyes and concentrate on a definitive symbol that represents the Limestone City, whether it’s a building, an over-sized sculpture, or a distinct district within the city, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? The folks who designed the City of Kingston logo featured the tholobate and dome of our iconic [...]

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.

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 [...]

Weekly Poll: Worst Street in Kingston
Back in 2009, Kingston made CAA’s disgraceful list of the 20 worst roads in Ontario. While Brock Street was ultimately singled out as Kingston’s most sub-par street, I am certain that many local residents could have easily drafted their own list of roads that simply don’t get the job done. Whether we’re talking about avenues [...]

This week we learned that Kingston will not host the 2011 Memorial Cup, and that the city is making a bid to host the 2012 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. We also got a sneak peak at our first Mayoral candidate, Greg Soucie, who describes himself as “a pot-smoking veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder who hates [...]

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 [...]
