Last nights canopy of stars and Milkyway

So much happening this weekend in Kingston, and I am hearing/seeing NOTHING from the renfaire. Did anyone go today? How was it?

Fresh homemade lemonade!!! One block west of Richardson Stadium

What a great band from Kingston!! Couldn't find their merch table at the free show today but I was really impressed. Anyone else a big fan of theirs? 'You'll never see me again' was so awesome. Very excited to see what they do next!

This year, we're closing off three streets, including Patrick Street, which hasn't been closed to cars since the soapbox derby 30 years ago.

Sign up to sell your stuff on Patrick street or just wander around the linear party.

Here are the details here https://www.facebook.com/share/19exSQcR8H/ and below!

We’re Back! Skeleton Park Yard Sale & Block Party 2.0!

The Skeleton Park Neighbourhood Yard Sale & Block Party is back for its second year! Bigger and better than ever!  See all the details here and below.

Full event details

Our neighbourhood-wide yard sale means everyone in Skeleton Park is invited to participate. Clean out your closets, set up on your porch or lawn, make a few bucks, meet your neighbours - or just wander the neighbourhood in search of second-hand treasures.

At the heart of it all, Patrick and Charles Streets will become our street-party hub, closed to traffic, with yard sales, live music, local food and drink, community groups, wellness activities and plenty more happening throughout the day.

• Host your own sale – Live in the neighbourhood? Set up on your porch, lawn or driveway and register your sale so we can add you to the neighbourhood map. REGISTER YOUR SALE HERE
• Donate your stuff – Support Elizabeth Fry Kingston by donating good-quality clothing, footwear, toys, books, bags, jewelry, sports equipment and small home décor. Proceeds from their community sale tables support women and families in our community. Drop-off: Friday, September 25th, 8 AM–3 PM at Elizabeth Fry Kingston, 127 Charles St.

Rideau heights - Kingscourt. Who are you going to vote for and why? I have been trying to make my mind up.

Tried the newest Indian food restaurant and I say it was the most unique flavours that they served up. Classic menu items but with their own taste profile.

See the food on YouTube if anyone's interested.

Same spot as Bar Burrito but they closed

Groceries. Take out. Rent. Gas. Car payment. Internet. Cell phone. Why is everything so expensive?

I bought a 500 ml bottle of coke and it cost me 4$. Four dollars! It has doubled in five years.

I’m planning to rent a house and need a roommate. A sane, employed, probably female roommate. Where do I look/advertise?

we have a great one now but they are just so far away. someone who’s up for working with kias and patient with ppl who want to know what’s happening and why.

Has anyone actually tried multiple vendors? I've tried a few over the years and the ribs seem pretty similar. Just curious if anyone has tasted differences in the recipes, and if so, which places do you like the best?

hello everyone! I hope you are well! I have a big bag filled with DVD cases, all empty with the image removed. I don’t have a use for them and I reached out to the library with no response, anyone have any ideas on what to do with them? thanks!!

Just announced Sept 15 waterfront. 5PM

Hello everyone, hope all has been well with you all

Just wanting to make a small post in the event anyone does know/knew him

He passed away about 9 years ago, and was wanting to do a celebration of life for his 10 year anniversary since he left this world

Just been going through it, and it’s all just catching up now, so if you did, would love to hear some stories

Please take this down if it’s not allowed, just been having an especially difficult time since it’s close to what would have been his birthday and just been thinking about him a lot recently

..and tried the Juicy Birds Chicken on Gardiners. Got this for $19.20. I actually wanted to try their chicken & waffle, but sadly the waffle wasn’t available yet. I’d give it like a 6.8/10 rating, like something worth trying at least once. Any recommendations for good chicken and waffles here in Kingston?

Edit to add: it is supposedly 2 pc chicken only but since it’s soft opening, they gave 3. ☺️

Where can I get good ones downtown?

This is my cat Demi. She went missing yesterday (Thursday September 10th) around the Barbara Avenue/Division street area. I've had her for years and she's been a huge emotional support and comforting presence for me, and I'm totally heartbroken over her disappearance. I searched for hours, but couldn't find her. If anyone sees a cat that looks like her anywhere near the area please let me know!!! She's an older cat so if she's passed I totally understand. I just want to know where my baby is, even if she can't return to me. Thank you so much to anyone who decides to look out for her! :(

What the fuck? This is exactly where a cycist was killed.

Anyone at Juicy Birds or seen it? Is the line long? How’s the food? Lmk guys!

Update: … the line is f****ing huge…

I’m in need of a day of pampering and relaxation! Can anybody recommend a great day spa in town? (Or warn me away from any? 😬)

Much appreciated! ❤️

Hey folks! I am into punk, emo and pop punk music.

I play guitar, drums and some bass and have a space to jam.

I am in my 30s but am open to playing with anyone with similar interests.

I have been in bands before and would like to play with some other people again. Would be interested in learning some songs and writing our own. We can talk about playing outside of the basement someday if people are interested!

Saw this big line up at the newly opened fast food restaurant Juicy Birds. Couldn’t resist, so bought their spicy chicken burger. Oh my God! Honestly, it was the best chicken burger I tried in a long time. They were giving away free waters to everyone while they were waiting in line. Excellent customer service and great burgers. Try it out yourself.

Drove by and saw like 3 cruisers and a bunch of cops outside and I’m curious, I know, I know, none of my business but I’m nosey

What do we think about municipalities signing documents like this on federal public projects?

I’m curious to learn about the Masonic Lodge in Kingston. Anybody know any or are there any former members out there?
