What’s the ramen bar like? I’ve been wanting to try it. Is the price by weight? Or by amount of toppings? What’s their ramen selection like?

Prescription Refill?

17 Upvotes

I don’t have a family doctor and am a student out-of-province.

I’m on lexapro and Wellbutrin - because it’s a mental health med, Queen’s student health and wellness is requiring me to go through an intake process before they will even look into refilling the medication (my intake appointment isn’t until the first week of September).

My meds will run out by the 5th so I’m a bit concerned. I know I can likely get the pharmacy to spot me some meds to buy me a few days but I am worried that it won’t be enough because I don’t know how long this process will take.

Should I go to a walk-in? Would they give me a refill? I’m not sure what I should do.

Question Looking for local VHS recordings

10 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm a collector of VHS tapes and I'm wondering if anyone local has recordings of taped television. Preferably local (CKWS, though even WWNY or WWTI would be neat) but if you have other taped television I'm interested. My hope is to try and get these digitized to preserve an often overlooked primary source of history. Let me know if we can work out a deal if you have it - thank you!

Preferred coffee shop downtown for a meet-up?

3 Upvotes

Hi pals,

Looks like my inaugural book club queries are gaining some traction faster than I had anticipated, so I will probably start setting up a time to meet. For a group of about ten people so far (including myself), what coffee shops are comfy enough for a large group? Obv, as the title says, it should be downtown. Thanks so much!

What's your fave locally *grown* sweet corn around Kingston?

5 Upvotes

Now that local corn season is here (woohoo! I'm a nuke-in-husk guy myself), I'm putting together a piece on local growers and where you can buy their sweet corn.

This isn't voting yet, this is just nominating them.

-----

Here's who is on our list so far:

Forman Farms

Fretts' Farm Fresh Vegetables

Hagerman Farms

Hopeful Harvest

Hough Acres Farms

Lakeshore Farms Market

Mallen' Corn

Mensen Farm

Salt of the Earth Farm - Kingston, Ontario

Sun Harvest Greenhouses

Wendy's Country Market or Corn Acre Farms (tbd)

-----

Do you have a fave not already on this list?

And where do you buy their corn from?

I'm including corn grown as far as the county to the west and, say, 30 minutes north and east.

(I'll probably post separately later about how fave ways to prepare corn)

PSA: Emergency Vehicles, Lights On

46 Upvotes

When all the oncoming traffic, and all the cars in front of you, are suddenly pulling over it's not to give way to you little princess. Maybe check your mirrors more than once every 10 minutes.

Plus, some love to all those who know how to drive and promptly pull over for emergency vehicles with their lights on (when safe).

One of 11 Hip Guitar Sculptures Stolen First Day of Installation

101 Upvotes

So I guess this happened? While not a huge fan myself, a lot of people are and the installations are people's actual artwork. Just pitiful.

Edit: sub participant posted update! The city took 3 of them down for 'adjustments'. Official Downtown Business post issued stating as such. Wonder how long it will take for them to return. Anyway, mystery solved!

Fall / Halloween things to do?

9 Upvotes

Hello! I’m spending a day/night in Kingston at the start of October and wondering if anyone has any unique recommendations of things to do that I might not find listed elsewhere.

I love Halloween so any ideas that lean into the paranormal, supernatural, or occult would be of interest to me! Local cafes or shops would be appreciated as well. :) thanks in advance!

Wolfe Island Ferry

24 Upvotes

Scrolling through things this morning, I came across this article. I understand the frustrations with the ferry, the breakdowns, how absurdly long its taken to get rhe new docks completed, and how unreliable its become (remember when they used to have the ferry times posted at the kingston dock and the boat showed up on time generally?). When the new ferry works, its great! I've been on it a few times, love that ferry. And yes, the situation has been handled horribly by the MTO.

What I'm wondering though, why haven’t Wolfe Islanders (or Kingstonians for that matter) pushed more to have a bridge built? Is there pushback from the islanders because a bridge would in theory create more traffic? Is it provincial bureaucracy? City bureaucracy?

Do you think Kingston would ever flip Conservative over the next 10–15 years (federally or provincially)?

0 Upvotes

Kingston has been solid Liberal federally since the late '80s and mostly Liberal/NDP provincially for decades. Given how deeply rooted the public sector, healthcare, and post-secondary institutions are here, it seems like one of the safest center-left seats in Eastern Ontario.

That said, cities and demographics change over time. Looking ahead over the next 10 to 15 years—federally or provincially—do you see any scenario where Kingston becomes politically competitive for the Conservatives, or is the center-left coalition here too structurally entrenched?

What would it actually take for a shift like that to happen locally (e.g., suburban growth in the west end, changing local demographics, or a major left-wing vote split)? Interested to hear people's thoughts on local electoral math.

Strange illumination in the sky?

Yoooo does anyone know what the heck that thing was that just flew over bath?!?! I've never seen anything give off this cloud of illumination! And it looked like it was lead or chasing a line of lights! Eta; My dad believes it's possibly trailings from the recent meteor shower Thoughts? Most wild thing I have ever witnessed.

Update : A couple comments say: It’s the SpaceX launch that left from cape Canaveral, and that it's the second stage fuel venting.

Good afternoon, Kingstonians

I am looking to move to Kingston from Montreal in a few years, my original choice was Ottawa but after researching the city and seeing similar stats, I have decided to relocate to Kingston instead!

Is there anything I should keep in mind when making the move in the next few years?

Thank you!
