Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts

It’s not a secret that Queen’s University is under served by their performing arts venues, as Grant Hall, Theological Hall and Harrison LeCaine are simply lacking in too many key areas to be effective.  Since coming to Kingston, I’ve attended more student musicals and drama performances elsewhere in the city, than those that were hosted [...]

Weekly Poll: The Future of the Poker Run

If you were to list the top 10 things to see and do in Kingston during the summer, chances are the Poker Run wouldn’t make the cut. It’s not a question of whether or not this annual event is entertaining, rather there’s only so much excitement one can expect when watching speeding boats roar [...]

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 [...]

Battery Park

Last Monday, Mayor Rosen and Homestead Land Holdings cut the ribbon at Kingston’s newest waterfront attraction, located on the fringe of the long contested plot of land that was formerly known as Block D.  The re-purposed real estate on Block D has been developed to accommodate three towering condominiums, as well as a Courtyard [...]

Kingstonist’s Guide to Patios

At some point during the May long weekend, someone flicked a magical switch and awoke the sweaty beast known as summer.  Over the past few weeks, we’d been enjoying a long run of fantastic, nearly ideal weather, however the sweltering heat and unbearable humidity has finally arrived.  Thankfully, along with summer conditions come seasonal [...]

Everything’s Going Swimmingly

Last Fall, I wrote about the City’s plans to completely overhaul the ageing aquatic facility that’s located beside the Memorial Centre.  Presently, the entire grounds around the M-Centre are getting a much needed face lift, while the work will eventually focus on breathing new life into the Leo Lafleur Waterpark.  While we were given a [...]

Just before I climbed into bed last night, I marvelled at the flurries that were sticking to almost everything outside. It made for a majestic scene in our backyard, as the tree branches and shrubbery looked as though someone had painted them with fluffy flakes of snow. This morning I woke up to [...]

This morning I awoke to so much light coming in the window that I thought I had missed my alarm.  Thankfully this was not the case, however it made me realize, or maybe just hope, that it’s getting brighter earlier.  Not that I’m complaining about the weather as of late, but even though we’ve had [...]

New Kingston Tourism Videos

While we managed to squeeze in the final post from our Best of 2009 review on New Year’s Day, today’s post is technically Kingstonist’s first of 2010.  One of the most interesting tidbits I came across over the holidays was the Canadian Travel Commission’s new series of video advertisements for the Limestone City.  I [...]

Thoughts of the Ballot Box

Remember, remember the eighth of November…
In one year’s time, on Nov. 8, 2010, voters in this city will cast a ballot that will shape the next four years of Kingston’s evolution. Many council members will by now be considering whether to seek re-election, but may not declare for months. Indeed, some have already decided whether [...]
