Please forgive my nostalgic tendencies, but from time to time I like to look back on Kingstonist’s humble beginnings, and recognize the vast improvements we’ve made over the past few years.  We’ve amassed a talented team of fairly regular contributors, and developed some fantastic, recurring series along the way.  From What if Kingston… to Six [...]

At sundown today, eight nights of Hanukkah celebrations begin.  Other countdowns of note include the Olympic Torch Relay, which arrives in Kingston in 3 days, and Christmas, which is a mere 14 days away.  I’ll forgo the panic inducing comments to get you out there to finish your holiday shopping, because to be honest, I’m [...]

Holiday Gift-a-Way

Our neighbours to the south will soon be enjoying Thanksgiving, and then taking part in the busiest shopping day of the year, which is ominously referred to as Black Friday. While Canadian cross-border shoppers will likely fill the ranks, I am thankful that Black Friday hasn’t really caught on in Canada, yet. That [...]

This annual event has delighted audiences for years and has even become a traditional outing for many Kingston families.

Dance parties, CD releases and World Premiers, oh my!

I have been a bad, bad blogger lately. I have been pondering possible reasons and I’ve decided to go with the “I’ve just been too busy with symphony and other shows” excuse. Hope that works for everyone. You may also have noticed that since the site redesign, we have no events calendar. [...]

KRC vs The Grand

Who does the booking for the K-Rock Centre? I’d like to know because the KRC has made what I consider to be a pretty big error. It is bringing in a show from out of the country – a show that is happening at the Grand with local musicians and dancers one night [...]

Where in Kingston – Solved!

I’m pleased to announce that Hiero has brought Kingstonist’s “Where in Kingston” question to a glorious end, by correctly identifying our pixelated representations of “Pollution”, a sculpture located in the waterfront park across from Kingston General Hospital . In case this is your first introduction to this piece of public art, Pollution was unveiled [...]
