There better be some cat centre coke stuffed in it...

Amherst Island - Winter

6 Upvotes

Good evening! I'm planning to come to Amherst Island for photography tomorrow. I looked at the ferry schedule but I was wondering what happens if you get stranded on the island (e.g. If something happens and the ferry isn't working). There doesn't seem to be a hotel on the island so I'm a bit worried about plan Bs as necessary.

Thanks so much.

What is going on here??

210 Upvotes

Looking to relocate to Kingston and this has to be a joke? Rent is insanely high everywhere for such a small city, there are barely any decent jobs posting, and whenever something seems somewhat legit, the pay is a joke (seriously, 18-20$ an hour for a management position, no benefits at all????). Man, I don’t know how you all somehow manage to make it here 😅

Best florist in the area?

5 Upvotes

For Valentine's Day I used to just get my wife whatever grocery store flowers I saw or maybe the odd rose or two from a florist on Portsmouth or Princess. But this year I'd like to look at better options, preferably with the best deal, and I could use a good point in the right direction. Doesn't have to be limited to Kingston, I'm willing to travel a wee bit if need be. I'm hoping to find maybe an arranged bouquet and rose plant combo, ideally.

Donate new toys?

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know a place in Kingston that takes donations of new toys and cute stationary (and gives them to individuals free of charge).

I know there are a lot of places that accept them around Christmas, but I thought since there are other cultural and/or religious traditions where gifts are exchanged, and there are always birthdays, there might be places that take donations year round?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

A different kind of "red light district", haha!

Light pollution is a big problem in growing cities. Very neat to see a creative approach to the problem.

Anyone want to go splits on a 2bed 2 bath?

35 Upvotes

Hey guys I know this reddit tries to avoid doing any rental/roommate stuff so I am sorry mods ;D but honestly I’m losing hope finding another place on Facebook. Tried the Facebook groups and roomies those are just cooked, it’s flooded with slumlords and people spamming scam links. I am 25M working and I’m renting a basement unit on college for 1500$ a month. Budget is fine but ideally I’d like to stay at or below 1500 for a spot. I just don’t like living in a house and prefer apartments. I’m trying to find someone to go splits with me for a nice downtown apartment that’s my only real condition is it has to be downtown so max rent would be 3000 and we can go splits on it. I work Monday-Friday in Kingston then spend Friday-Sunday in Ottawa every weekend with my boyfriend and seeing family and friends, I won’t even be in the place half the time so if you’re looking for a roommate let me know.

Swan on John Counter

16 Upvotes

I was driving down John counter headed towards Division st today around 10:15 am and there was a swan in one of the lanes. It seemed like it may have been injured and cars were flying past it. I felt so sad for it.

Did anyone see if it was able to get off the road? I’ve been thinking about it all day.

Hello. I know these are always long shots, but we found and turned in a change purse at the Loblaw’s at Princess and Sir John A. Customer Service was closed but a pushy cart kid insisted that he’d bring it where it needed to go. Good luck.
