I'll be honest I've lived in this city for 20+ years of my life, and love it. Though as I've come back after doing my undergrad, I have never felt so fucking isolated from my home town. I walk around and get dirty stares, coldly disregarded by all store staff if asking how the day is, I have never felt so alone being home. I just want someone to talk to. Yes I know this is fucking off, and I should instead try doing something else, but I'm at rock bottom right now, and Reddit has been my only outlet for things as of recently. Take this post down if not permitted, but I just wanted to try something different since I've given up trying to attain in acquaintances. Hope you're all doing well otherwise.

Does anyone know if it’s safe to park at the Culligan water park? I have friends coming up and they need a spot to park their car for the night. Just want to make sure they won’t get a ticket. Thanks!

Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for a roofing company in Kingston. Thank you

Could be a long shot but I am looking to brighten up my blonde and get a simple trim with a budget of ~$100.

Photo to reference texture/damage (taken in November).

Just got one "From Doug Ford". Who knows if it's from his office but it says "It's Doug Ford. Help me stand up to Donald Trump to protect our jobs and economy." and that's it.

I'm sure it's sent to a bunch of numbers with Ontario area codes, not from a database (I don't give my cell to just anyone, usually my home phone which I never answer). Just curious if others received it.

Hello, I am looking for dentist recommendations. I haven’t been to a dentist in an embarrassingly long time (around 7 years) and my teeth are in bad shape (this is partly from bad hygiene practices, financial issues and mental health issues). I finally have a job with benefits and I have decided it’s time to take control of this situation. I’m wondering where the best place would be to go as I’m feeling pretty anxious and embarrassed about going. I know some dentists are known for being rude to their patients when they have poor oral hygiene and I just don’t need that right now. So I’m preferably looking for somewhere that has a good reputation for being nice but also somewhere that will do a good job! Thanks :)

Is anyone else having issues with the city garbadge workers? We live downtown and the crew we get often have very bad additudes and are rude. They also often will tag the green bin or garbadge bag as overweight when it's not even close. I weighed my own bags and the black bag was 35lbs not 44 or over. and the green bin was 48lbs. not over 60.

Does anyone has an accountant recommendation in Kingston on. Looking for someone to do income taxes along with a hst rebate for a new build home

Hi! I’m interested in getting either braces or Invisalign, I’m looking for a reputable orthodontist with average pricing. I live near St Lawrence College so any offices near there would be preferred as I take the bus.

Thanks!

I know it's pretty crackpot to ask this and idk if this is the place to ask but... Is there anything about Parrot's Bay that's paranormal or downright strange? I haven't seen anything about this but I have I guess seen weird things that make me rub my eyes or double take while I walked there. I haven't been there that many times and I don't have any diagnosed mental illnesses and I am sober.

I'll take my own imagination for 100 but hey, maybe someone else has an experience or something to share?

Thanks.

We are looking for a fiddle teacher for my daughter. She had one at Long and McQuade and that person left, she was offered classical violin classes and they were not what she wanted- but she really wants fiddle as she is in a folk/country stream. She is 16.

I'm doing a clean up and have a huge duffle bag full of bed sheets, clothing, laptop/smaller duffle bags and other household items.

Is there a decent donation center or thrift store in the city that's the best spot to drop that off?

Hi everyone,

Sadly I think I might have lost my Apple Watch SE in the Colborne/Division St area. It's rose gold, white wristband and has a screen protector on it.

Please let me know if anyone has seen it, thank you so much!!

I am pretty new for this don’t know where to start, Just need to focus on good health, want to make a decent physique, which would be a good gym to start with good price and helpful staff who could guide me.

Our second meeting will be held at the Nexus on Sunday (Feb 2) at 1:30 pm. Any type of literature is welcome!

Please do not mock me for posting this. We are low income and I my kids really love home made lasagna. I stock up on ground beef when it's on sale but even on sale we can't really afford it.

I'm wondering if there's somewhere that has it for sale in bulk for a great price? I can portion it and freeze it if the price is good enough.

I use the FLIPP app which helps but it doesn't list everywhere and every product.

For reference, I used to get lean on sale for less than $5/lb but that is getting more and more difficult to find.

Hi everyone! Tax season is coming up, and we’re looking for recommendations for an accountant to help us file properly this time. We previously tried DIY filing using H&R Block online (free version), but we made mistakes that ended up paying CRA back. We know it was our fault, so we want to make sure we do things right this year with professional help. We’re also open to virtual accountants as well. Ideally, we’d like someone experienced in personal taxes and who can explain things clearly. We’d really appreciate your recommendations!

Thanks in advance!

Firstly.. I have been Silver Wok through and through. Have been for a long time, but wanted to switch things up last weekend.

Gave Wong's a try and I'd have to say it was pretty damn good.

I have no affiliation with them at all, I just think they aren't that well known because of the location. Price was pretty average for Chinese.

For context: I have also enjoyed Kai's Delight a few times and don't hate New Garden.

Peavy mart is closing all stores in Canada and the one in the north end where Farmers Coop used to be is also shuttering this spring. We have relied on that location for about 20 years for big bags of straw. Hoping we can find other sources than the pet store. Anyone know a local farmer selling bales (ie: square bales, not round bales) :D

Planning on hiking across with a friend. Is there a way to tell if it's thick enough?

My birthday is coming up and im looking to do a bigger celebration then normal. Are there any pubs or resteraunts that you can rent out for gathering, meal or such? I know Raxx used to have a room you could rent for events. Any referals would be great. Thank you.
