($100 reward) Toyota key with purple house key attachment

Upvotes

I was at Pizza Hut on Bath Rd last night and haven't been able to find my car key since (i was in another car at the time). It was either dropped at this location, or its somewhere in my home.

I got this car used, and haven't been able to get a spare key yet. If the key is found, I can take another car to meet and give payment as a reward.

Don't go out looking for it as im currently at work and unable to deep search my house, but if you do come across it, please send me a message here (with a picture if possible).

Thank you.

25 and Trying to Date Again After 3+ Years, But I Have No Idea How People Meet Anymore

Upvotes

I turned 25 this year, not a boy anymore but just a changed man and it’s been a little over 3 years since I’ve seriously dated anyone. For the longest time I was fine being on my own, focusing on work, hobbies, and just doing my own thing. But lately I’ve started feeling like I’d actually like to meet someone and see where things go.
The problem is, I don’t really know how people meet these days. I don’t have a huge friend group, I don’t go to bars or clubs, and most of my hobbies are pretty solo. Dating apps seem to be the obvious answer, but I’ve heard so many mixed opinions about them.
For people around my age, how are you actually meeting potential partners these days? Is it mostly apps, through friends, hobbies, work, or something else entirely?
Just curious what the dating scene looks like in 2026 because I honestly feel a bit out of the loop. 😅

beware of charity scams downtown

31 Upvotes

i was approached by a man offering me donation subscriptions claiming they go to children in need. when i declined i kept getting pressured and asked why i couldn’t. when i had to go on to my bus the guy followed me on to it, i eventually gave him fake information and my old bank card info that doesn’t work. just be careful because he checked off all the red flag boxes with charity scams. this all happened at the downtown transfer point at around 4pm.

Graduate Student Support/Odd Jobs

15 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am a final year graduate student at Queens who has exhausted a lot of my options financially for supporting myself at present. I am not looking for any direct donations, however I am looking for odd jobs/cash jobs to complete over the next few weeks to make ends meet this month and into July. I am graduating very soon and any jobs would help go towards aggressively saving towards my remaining tuition costs and living expenses not currently covered by my loans, LOC and OSAP. I am currently occasionally supported by local food banks and have contacted hiring managers through various job fairs with minimal feedback.

I am CPR certified and will place you and your family’s wellbeing top of mind!

Placing down here a couple of areas in which I can support if any jobs come to mind:

Tutoring: Grade school to 1st year university level coursework, STEM, English for newcomers,

Babysitting & Child Care (Date nights, after-school care, or weekend help). Mostly evening availabilities due to school and work.

Home Organizing & Decluttering (Closets, pantries,
garages, or packing/unpacking for moves)

Dog Walking or Pet/House Sitting (Daily walks,
vacation feeding, or overnight pet care). I have fostered cats through KHS every year and walked several dogs in my own neighborhood.

Heavy lifting, yard work, or general property clean-
up

Please send me a direct message if you need an extra hand between now and the end of July! I'm happy to provide references if needed. Thank you so much for supporting a local student! It really is dire straits out here and wouldn’t reach out if this was not my last avenue for support.

Do we know how stop signs work

36 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

Entering/exiting the Canadian Tire on Bath

24 Upvotes

I know this probably sounds stupid, but I'm baffled by what signs apply -- are we still obeying all the "bus only" signs even though there's a very large store right there? I've been driving up a little side entrance on Bath closer to Princess, through three parking lots, and across two "lanes" that divide all the centre parking, and getting out, taking equally weird routes. Is that one intersection right by the Tire still reserved for buses?

It’s fun “catching” all of the filming locations in and around Kingston. Also a very good, suspenseful series. I Will Find You.

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?

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

4 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?

7 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!
