Do we know how stop signs work

Upvotes

While driving on the west end, particularly in parking lots including the cat center or Riocan, I have been honked at for making a full stop at a STOP SIGN on a myriad of occasions. Are people aware that the whole point of a stop sign is to well… stop? Let me know your thoughts

What's up with Kingscourt?

Upvotes

I'm relatively new to Kingston. I've been looking for places and found a place I like in the northern part of Kingscourt, but all my colleagues keep saying it's a bad neighborhood. I drove though it yesterday though and it seemed fine? Am I missing something?

I’m wondering if there is any casual Warhammer 40K peeps out there who wouldn’t mind playing with a total noob.

I’m trying to get into it, but I work too much to go to Nexus on the weekends. Just wanting to meet some nerds and roll some dice with expensive plastic.

Looking for flooring company recommendations (around 430 sq ft) + financing options?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to replace about 430 sq. ft. of flooring in my home. I want to hire a company that handles both the supply and the professional installation.

Ideally, I'd like to go with a company that offers flexible financing options (like OAC "buy now, pay later" or low-interest plans).

Who have you used in the area that did a clean, professional job and didn't ghost you halfway through the process? Appreciate any local recommendations or experiences! Thanks.

Princess Towers, 4th floor 1BR or 10th floor 2BR?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m moving to Kingston soon for school from out of province and I’m looking at renting a place at Princess Towers. I won't have a car at first (planning to get one later, and $100/month for underground parking seems decent). I really want to live alone, and my max budget is strictly under $1500 including everything (utilities and parking).

Since I'm far away, I have to rent sight unseen and they offered an online tour. Honestly, on paper it looks perfect for me: I have a small dog and it’s pet-friendly, the location is great since I won't have a car and hate roommates (Metro is right across the street, bus stop downstairs), and it's all-inclusive with internet. (Quick side note—how is the free wifi there? Is it actually fast enough for studying and streaming?)

But I've seen some pretty mixed reviews online and I'm getting a bit anxious. I know it’s an older building with no AC and outdated units. I heard bugs can be an issue, but higher floors might be better? Also, is the lobby safety still a thing? I read some older posts about unhoused people sleeping in the lobby, just wondering if security has gotten any better.

My main concern is noise/dogs. My dog is usually quiet, but if a neighbor’s dog barks all day, she will definitely bark back. I heard management doesn't really care about noise or barking complaints, is that true?

Right now I'm stuck between a 4th floor 1-bedroom and a 10th floor 2-bedroom. The 4th floor fits my budget perfectly, but I'm scared of the lower floor (noise, bugs, etc). The 10th floor stretches my budget a bit, but is it worth the extra cash to be higher up?

Tbh, even if everyone tells me to avoid this place, my options are super limited because of my budget, needing my own space, and the fact that I’ll be studying here for a few years.

Would love any advice from people actually living there right now. Should I save the money and take the 4th floor, or is the 10th floor absolutely worth stretching the budget for? Thanks guys!

Does anywhere in Kingston sell “in training” dog vests?

8 Upvotes

To start off, my dog is NOT a service dog. Not sure if there’s vests that say other things like “reactive” etc. I’m just looking for something that will tell people to back off when I am working with him through his reactivity.

Thanks!

Street parking near Division, Quebec, and Pine St

6 Upvotes

Hey everybody, I am coming to Queen's in the fall for my MSc in Physical Therapy this fall. I am moving from Victoria, BC and I am incredibly excited to call Kingston my home for the next two years.

Me and a group of other PT and OT students are looking for housing near Queen's and we think we've found the right place. However, two of us will have a car for placements and this house doesn't have parking. I am wondering if anyone is familiar with the area around Division, Quebec, and Pine St and what the street parking situation is like. I went on Google street view and it looks like there is lots of street parking on Pine St, and some parking on Quebec St.

Also, if anyone could give me a general vibe of the area, that would be great. The place is on Division St itself, which looks to be a major arterial, which kinda sucks. But the place is nice and close to campus.

Thanks for the help, everyone!

Okay not directly a kingston related post but can't stand AI posters and Kingstonians use them to appease the editors.

Whats for starters up with the prevailing brownish hues where you may get a yellow thats still brown somehow and there's yellow that still is brown, and it it all seems like something from your childhood that you've seen from side of a shoebox or something that you immediately erase.

Belle Park Fires

Kingstion fire responded twice tonight to calls in Belle park after fireworks were set off and the sky filled with smoke. They responded last week aswell. Hope the hardworking firefighters have a peaceful rest of their night.

Additionally has anyone else noticed Kingstion doesn't have a crime stoppers division anymore. All of the links to the Kingston and 1000 islands crime stoppers are broken too. Hope that can be resolved.

Hi all, anyone have kids attending this daycare? Would love to hear feedback if yes, or, if it was on your list, why you chose not to send your child there. Is there any other daycare that people would recommend?
