Real great attitudes from the K Rock presenter Wednesday night

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?

Advice for dating in Kingston?

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

Car broken into

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?

Please recommend an app to track devices (and teens) that’s better than apple ‘find my’

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!

Inquiries about wings

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

Can an insurance company ask for your tenant’s information?

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?

Someone must not have been happy with getting a ticket…

The speed camera on Norman Rogers has been spray painted twice. Both times it’s been cleaned up within a day.

Computer jobs for college student

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

Car detailing (cleaning)

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.

Do you go out of your way to support local stores and your local community?

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.

Lost poppy

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.

Looking for a reputable dog groomer!! (shih tzu)

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.

Made a stupid mistake

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

Places that sell this?

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

Meeting new people 33M

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.

Shore Fishing

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
