Allow me to put the cart before the horse on this one. What if Kingston adopted a bike sharing system as an alternative for daily commuters, and to accommodate recreational tourists? In case you are unfamiliar with the concept of bike sharing, the name is somewhat of a misnomer. Basically the networked system employs multiple [...]

Wawa is home to the largest Canada Goose, while Vulcan has the U.S.S. Enterprise, Ottawa has a spider, and Beardmore has the world’s largest snowman. And the list goes on. Save for the modest-sized misshaped hockey puck at Kingston’s International Hockey Hall of Fame, the Limestone City is noticeably missing from the list of destinations [...]

We’re back in the Limestone City after a whirlwind adventure that took us west on the MacDonald-Cartier Freeway with stop overs in Ontario’s feel good town, the big smoke, the city of opportunity, as well as the city of waterfalls steel. I always enjoy visiting other urban centres, both large and small, as it affords [...]

While enjoying some highly anticipated rest and relaxation in Montreal this past weekend, I shopped ’til I dropped. That’s not to say I bought much of anything, however while searching for mass produced consumer goods, I rediscovered a part of the city, which some visitors may be less familiar with. Officially known as RÉSO, or [...]

Back in 2007, I was fortunate enough to spend the bulk of my summer working in la Ville de Québec. It was not my first extended stay in Québec City, but it was by far the most memorable thanks to adventures involving St-Jean-Baptiste, le festival d’été, and half a dozen new friends. Although I was [...]

Regarding the latter, there are a total of nine federal corrections facilities in and around the city, including: Joyceville, Pittsburgh, Collins Bay, Frontenac, Millhaven and Bath. Collins Bay [...]

Image used under CC, and with thanks to fabbio. “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” This colourful, and controversial slogan from the Freethought Association of Canada is slated to adorn the side of city buses in Toronto, Calgary and Halifax, but not in Kingston. Since the message is religious in [...]

Today’s “What if Kingston” question was sparked by a conversation I had last night with a friend who’s a violinist, professional riverboat gambler, and nomadic traveler…let’s call him Geoff. Geoff is currently taking up refuge in a HoJo on the outskirts of Tampa Bay, as he makes his way down the eastern seaboard, across the [...]

This week, I’ve been kicking around Victoria and Vancouver for a bit of work, and play. While I was wandering around Victoria last night, I noticed that they had many green parking areas in the downtown core. Now that’s not to say that they painted a parking space green, and few a through buzz words [...]
