The Skeleton Park Community Songbook: PS I Love You and The Sleepless Goat Choir
When I first caught wind of the Skeleton Park Community Songbook project, I wanted to spread the good word and share the first video from the series featuring PS I Love You and The Sleepless Goat Choir. There was a slight problem though, as we’d already featured a video by PS I Love You earlier [...]

KAC Spotlight: What the Cheer?
Some of life’s fondest memories come from those unscripted moments, where we aren’t planning on witnessing or being a part of something special. Nowadays, psuedo-spontaneous public events such as flash mobs (The Gertrudes and Open Voices sing “Catfish John“, Queen’s dances to “Beat It“) and lib dubs (Queen’s sings “We Are Golden“) are common place, [...]

Late last month, Star columnist Adrian Brijbassi visited various destinations in Limestone City, which he highlighted in an article titled: Perfect Weekend in Kingston: Markets, history and relaxation.

Beyond the Change Jar
I started walking to work the day after I wrote my last exam in May of 2004. Over the past few years, I’ve logged some serious miles between the office and home, while my typical path usually takes me through parts of the downtown. My travels have made me highly tuned to my surroundings, from [...]

Weekly Poll: Kingston’s Signature Dish
Philadelphia is known for its cheesesteak. Belgium is the birthplace of waffles. And Quebec lays claim to first combining french fries, cheese curds and gravy. While not every city in the world can claim responsibility for creating popular menu items, they each have unique and interesting restaurants, public markets, bakeries, breweries and other manufacturers of [...]

A Brief Guide to Coffee in Downtown (Part 2 of 2)
This is a continuation of a Brief Guide to Coffee in Downtown, Part One. Next up was Sleepless Goat. I don’t always love the atmosphere here. It has its charms but sometimes I find it too busy, too loud, and too messy. The tables are pretty rickety and the surfaces aren’t always the cleanest. That [...]
