Looks like primaris (company that owns the mall) doesn't want to deal with the Cataraqui Centre anymore, and is going to be selling it's ownership of the mall, to make their portfolio stronger.

Hello! Im interested in making authentic marshmallows (for both the taste & the herbal benefits) so I'm wondering where I could find marshmallow root?

TIA! :)

Are we surprised? Article in today's Kingston Whig-Standard.

Just curious if I need a membership for the food court, thank you!

Just a reminder that you can ride Kingston Transit free today and tomorrow, and Oct 26, 9am-9pm if you present your Voter Information Letter!

They will probably let you ride even if you don't have your letter, if you are heading out to "vote" wink wink

Reminder that today and tomorrow is advanced polling from 10 - 6! Transit is free if you need it, but many candidates are offering free rides to anyone in their district as well! See your polling location and make sure to cast your ballots!

just wondering if anyone knows of a place that is available that doesn't require good credit/reference?

we simply can't afford where we live now and we are struggling to keep up with rent & hydro.

thank you in advance.

I just watched this tonight as it was just posted the other day, and wow. It was hard to get through because Vanessa had a lot of trouble with her words. She has lots of questions (she readily admits this), but no answers. Anything she does say is on her tablet. Thoughts?

Sadly, winter is coming, and not the in GoT sense.

Anyone have any great recommendations for reputable snow removal contractors for my driveway within city limits?

Thanks!

Not usually a bacon lover but at No frills bacon is 3.50 a package so go get em.

This is from the all-candidates meeting from October 7, moderated by Bill Hutchins. Don't forget to vote by Monday October 26!

I'm in the west end, without a vehicle today. Do any of the vape stores deliver?

In case anyone (aged 19 or older) is still looking for something to do this Halloween, the Tett Centre is hosting an enchanted forest-themed fundraiser event called Tett After Dark!

Also looking for more volunteers to help facilitate the event, so if that’s something that might interest you, make sure to respond on this form.

The proceeds from ticket sales and silent auction purchases go towards supporting arts programming and artist residencies.

Is this gonna be busy homecoming this year? I remember they had fake homecoming last year. How is it gonna be this year??

Anybody else out, I'm on Castell Road.

Where in Kingston has the best Chicken Caesar Wrap? Also open to Buffalo Chicken Caesar wrap reccs. I’ve been on a huge kick, and it seems like every single one I’ve had in Kingston isn’t great.

I’ve had amazing ones in other cities and don’t always want to make them myself.

EDIT: I’m looking for something that is thick, has a good ratio of chicken to lettuce and sauce. I’ve found a lot of restaurant wraps are small, little meat and way too much lettuce. I haven’t had any that are reccommended so far in this thread so I will have to try them.

I was wondering if it was just my house or if anyone in the area was getting a dirty scent to in their house? Idk smell likes food waste yk

Thinking about moving into this “luxury” building?
I actually love the concept of this building. I just wish a company like Homestead or someone more competent had built it instead of Patry. I wish the city would stop letting Patry build these junk buildings.
Laundry list of issues:
1. Hot Water Took Five Minutes
You had to run the tap for about five minutes just to get hot water, so good luck doing laundry in hot water or running the dishwasher on a hot cycle. The amount of water you have to waste just to take a hot shower is concerning.
2. The Water Smelled Like Sulphur
The water smelled like sulphur, so your bathroom smelled like a fart all the time. I didn’t feel safe drinking the tap water.
3. The Drywall Was Buckling and Cracking
Drywall screws popped out in all my rooms, and the drywall buckled and cracked. They don’t fix it, so you were just stuck with it.
4. The Building Was Extremely Noisy
When the people above you walked, your walls shook and their foot steps sounded like they were walking with wooden shoes on. A lot of people weren’t sleeping properly because the noise was so bad. God forbid you ended up below a dog or a kid, you wouldn’t have any peace.
5. The Plumbing Was Loud Enough to Wake You Up
When neighbours flushed the toilet or used the taps, the pipes sounded like they were about to burst through the wall. It will wake you up from a dead sleep.
6. The Furnace Drowned Out the TV
The furnace was right beside the TV. You had to crank your TV to around volume 24 to hear it when the furnace was running. Then when it turned off, your TV was suddenly way too loud and you had to turn it down again. You can hear everyone’s tv in the hallways because you have to crank it so loud to hear it over the furnace.
7. The Bathroom Drawers Still Banged Shut
The bathroom drawers were supposed to be soft-close, but they still banged shut. My neighbour below me complained constantly that I was waking them up at night, so I ended up taping foam inside the drawers to stop them banging if I accidentally shut one too hard.
8. The Work Cubbies Were Freezing
The conference room was a nice add-on, but the work cubbies were absolutely freezing. You needed to bring your comforter and winter coat if you wanted to work in them. They are pretty much unusable. I never saw anyone in there the entire time I lived in this building.
9. The Lobby Was Chaotic and Unsecured
People were constantly moving in through the front lobby, so security felt basically nonexistent. Anyone could just walk right in. The main elevator area was full of boxes and people moving their stuff. It felt ghetto and was very disruptive for the people living there. I wished they’d made people move in through the back of the building. Keep in mind there are people constantly moving in and out every weekend. Like it’s non stop turn over.
10. The Glass Railings Were Exploding
The glass railings just randomly exploded lol. The metal frames were warping too. Looked very trashy on the roof top patio. I was pretty embarrassed when I had friends over for the first time and they pointed out how rough the hallways looked and the patio area.
11. The Appliances Were Damaged
The appliances were marked up and damaged. So if you liked dents in your microwave and fridge, you were in luck. You’d think for a luxury building they wouldn’t buy second hand appliances or at least replace them after a tenant punches dents in it lol.
And none of this even covers all the repairs I needed inside my apartment. I basically needed a contractor coming in every month to fix something new. My new apartment is great. There’s no pool, but at least I can sleep now. Also, the trim and cabinets don’t fall apart when I touch them. Lol
Ohh and I can wash my hands with w

I have some winter clothing items that I want to donate. Rather than giving them away to “for profit” companies I would rather donate them and was wondering if there’re any winter clothing drive events in town these days. I googled and nothing popped up. Thanks!
Edit: Thanks everyone ! I got what I needed out of this post but people please feel free to comment more winter clothing donation events or organizations and if the Kingston community looks for info for the same purpose they can use the info here.
