On Wednesday night the guy on the radio mentioned the USA elections, said “you gotta laugh,” and then played the song “American Woman.” It was a brief snippet of a show that I heard, around 7:40, but having listened to other women all day talk about pregnant siblings in the USA and how afraid they were, this guy really pissed me off. Was this just inflammatory trolling? Who was this presenter? How can he be so clueless - or is this genuinely how he thinks? Can anyone provide insight?
Hi, I'm 21M and I go to St Lawrence College and I've never had a girlfriend. Ever. Not for lack of trying, just never been successful in that. I am new to the city and I'm just wondering if there's much of a dating scene in Kingston for college students? I'm not really a drinker or a club guy, and I'm struggling to put myself out there. Just hoping for some advice of how to meet people in this city
It seems this is happening more and more these days but my car was broken into last night. The only thing that was taken was the ownership, insurance and the user manual. Should I be concerned? I read somewhere online that they can use that information to somehow program a new fob?
I find that the standard apple ‘find my’ is so glitchy and there can be such a time lag. Maybe it’s just the terrible signal strength here in Kingston? Is there a better solution? Thanks!

I’ve never actually made a post before, but desperate times calls for desperate measures.
I’m a big fan of chicken wings, and love how diverse Kingston is with their businesses and styles, so it’s rather hard to find the “best” place for wings as most reviews are from like 3 years ago.
So, what’s some of the best wing places right now? I really appreciate the help
The new speed limited is 60 mph now on bath road. Between Portsmouth and sja. No cops to catch speeders so enjoy.
Music, dancing, pop-up performances... and an early countdown for all the sleepy grownups (or the party-hoppers who want to do multiple countdowns). Join us! Early bird discount tickets are available until the end of November.
I am working on getting a pipe on the exterior of my house fixed (have extended water damage insurance), and my insurance company is asking for my tenant’s contact information.
Is this allowed?
The speed camera on Norman Rogers has been spray painted twice. Both times it’s been cleaned up within a day.
Hi all, I'm currently attending SLC for Computer Programming and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of or is looking for a programming student for part time work. Work with coding or databases is what I'm really looking for but I just want some hands on practice while I'm going to school. Thanks
I heard at one time that there was a group that cleaned vehicles as part of skills programming (intellectual disabilities). Is this group still around? Has anyone used them? Thank you in advance.
For example, I went into Bookland to buy books yesterday when I could have easily ordered from Amazon. I'm trying very hard to keep money spent in our local area.
Looking for a peaceful conversation with everyone not an argument.
Hey all, so my dad is going through a tough time (early 70’s) I don’t want to call it dementia quite yet as he’s very lucid and coherent but little things have always set him off and they have been increasing with age. I visited today and he was completely distraught that he lost the poppy securer? That his deceased neighbour (wwII vet) gifted him a decade at least ago. He’s worn it every November but it’s popped off somewhere. Pretty generic, like decorative thing that you fasten the poppy with. Pin I should say. I have a metal detector and will sweep my parents yard, but is there a place I could find a new one? My guess is the legion. Sounds horrible but if I could find a replacement and tell him it was found would make his year. I’m sure it was inexpensive and handed out to many. Any thoughts are appreciated, I’ve never seen him so bummed out over something lol. Great guy and he cherished that thing.
hi everyone, Im looking for a reputable groomer who is accepting new clients for my 10 year old shih tzu. our current groomer always cuts her wavy/curly hair too short and never gives us what we ask for (no she is not matted, we thoroughly brush her everyday!! - she loves it) we feel like our months of hard work in growing out her coat (which also helps with her sensitive skin and allergies) are a waste and it is very discouraging when we pick her up. TIA
Is there a company or mobile service that works in Kingston to program modern smart keys, and can cut the flat blade style keys? Or are you stuck with the dealership.
Collision between an SUV and a motorcycle just north of Codes Corners. Lots of emergency vehicles on the scene. Highway is reduced to one lane.
Today when getting off the highway a school bus was stopped with its arm out. I saw that there where no students and the door was closed. I am a new driver and I just feel terrible as this is inexcusable, I honestly only processed the arm when my passenger brought it up. Should I turn myself in to the police station? I'm sorry to parents that
I’m just curious if anyone has seen these anywhere, they’ve disappeared but looking to see if I can get them locally instead of ordering them. Purely for nostalgia purposes, I wanna feel like a kid again
Who is the man on the silver mountain?
New to Kingston again. Been gone for 13 years.
Anyone got some solid suggestions to meet new people? I'm a geek, love nerdy stuff like games, movies, D&D. But I also loove cooking and being outdoors.
I think this weather is a sign of no snow coming till late December. I hope Remembrance will be good weather for the Remembrance Day celebrations in Kingston and Ottawa and al. Other cities and towns. Thank-you for your sacrifice to bring us a free nation.
Going to be in Kingston this weekend with my gear. Looking for some ideas on where decent shore fishing might be. No preference on what I’m catching, just want to be fishing and can fish for anything. Will have a vehicle and do not mind travelling outside of Kingston east or west along the lake/st Lawrence.
Thank you all
Does anyone have any experience with refinery spa on king st for a curly hair cut? I have enjoyed their other services but am nervous about getting my fine curly hair cut.
Thanks
