I used to live in cape Vincent, NY. I used to love visiting Kingston. The used to be a cool store there called Cooks general store. My favorite part was the ferry boat ride to get there! Kingston mills is STUNNING as is a trip up the canal to Ottawa!

[@liiymusic2647]

Thank you for your video. I enjoyed to watch, which is a trip reference to Kingston today.

Also Canadian NPR is quality radio to keep on in the house all day. Used to love the vinyl cafe.

Wow, this seems a great destination! Beautiful! ❤️😍👌

[@ThePlanetD]

Thank you! It realaly surprised us. We only live 5 hours from Kingston and hadn't visited it in years. It is one of Ontario's most interesting cities for sure.

I met Steven Spielberg and Viggo Mortensen in Kingston Market Square! A hidden gem!

[@tylerdunlop1937]

Kingston is a town with a lot of energy. It's a substantial portion of everything really. You have, of course, your military culture, university culture, arts and music culture, sports culture and a bustling business culture. There's always something going on there it seems. In 2009-2010, I worked at ATV Electric( a used tube-television repair shop) and spent my spare time busking downtown on the corner of Princess and Clergy for a few hours and then haunted the 3 or 4 bars I liked to hang out at on Princess Street. The Grizzly Bear north on Princess usually meant a blurry cab ride home... Good times! Kingston's also really cool if you like old world architecture. Sometimes while waiting for the main drag to wake up, I'd stop in at ST. Mary's Cathedral and chapel. Feels like a 17th century atmosphere. Art and music? Kingston's known for it. One of those Twilight Zone hot pockets of Liverpudlian creativity in eastern Ontario. The Tragically Hip. Headstones. I Hate Sally. Lots of liberal arts going on there. Buskers Festival. Film Festival. Worth checking out! I miss Kingston.

Love Kingston. Originally born there. So much to do there

[@ThePlanetD]

It's a great city. And yes, so much to do there. We took it for granted for years, I am glad we revisited it.

[@amriksingh6828]

Kingston is nice, it's halfway between Toronto and Ottawa and not too far from Montreal.

[@celticpridedrums]

There are two great castles to visit on the 1000 Islands; Singer Castle and Boldt Castle . Bring your passport--they are in the States.

[@EyeBob-k7q]

I took a break here from my 5 hour drive trip to ottawa!

[@ThePlanetD]

It’s a great stop in the way to Ottawa!

[@celticpridedrums]

What happened to Fort Henry--the #1 tourist attraction in Kingston. World famous Fort Henry Guard. You showed a few clips a the first but you did not describe it.

[@vincenzoruncini1780]

what about the health services ? How easy to find a doctor? How long it takes to be attended at the Emergency ?

[@celticpridedrums]

this is a real issue--not hardly enough doctors for the growing population.

[@LanaM-y8k]

I’m from Kingston, so Ik what ti do, I was born there

[@Chamberbrt]

i was here in kingston for 10 years there is nothing to do its so boarding and it got so boarding i moved i was really mad how board i was

[@celticpridedrums]

Visit Fort Henry--best fortress in Canada. The Fort Henry Guard--world famous.

[@Cristiano_Ronaldofans1]

I have been to Kingston before I have not went there for like 2 years now

[@ThePlanetD]

Kingston really surprised us. It is a great city with so many things to do and its quite historical by Canadian standards.

[@frplays1345]

I live there❤

[@ggrobloxtop9560]

We will soon come to King ston to live

[@ThePlanetD]

@@ggrobloxtop9560 Welcome to Kingston! Where are you moving from?

[@rca6576]

Quite honestly I do not think the pen is the best tourist attraction in Kingston by a long, long shot. My old english sheepdog fell into that moat once. Fire dept? Thank you! Check out some performances at the Grand Theater or the beautiful Isabelle while you're here.

[@HypocriticYT]

Good to visit just don’t move here. Hospital is bad

[@laurabailey1054]

Kingston is actually turning 350 in 2023. It celebrated its 300 in 1973

[@ThePlanetD]

Sure, I can give you that. It was a trading post in 1673. It wasn't until the 1800s that it was even established as a town and then eventually as a city. But the truth is, it has thousands of years of history since it is located on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and Huron-Wendat People.

[@roblovell5523]

The towers weren't built during the war of 1812. They were built much later during the Oregon boundary dispute

[@ThePlanetD]

Oh, thanks for the clarification

I'm glad to hear that you found it helpful! Kingston has so much to offer, and I'm happy to share it with you.

[@camelliam.4235]

There is no place to swim?

[@ThePlanetD]

there are plenty of places to swim, we just didn't go swimming. Kingston is located on three different waterways and there are urban beaches and public pools. You can swim at Breakwater Park, Arrowhead Beach Park, and Lake Ontario Park to name a few.

[@petecochrane1782]

Tell people how the city tore down the statue of Canada's first Prime Minister John A MacDonald!

[@johnross5889]

They didn't tear it down it was being vandalized and moved to Sir John A MacDonalds grave..vandalized there.. Is currently in syorzge

[@celticpridedrums]

Home of Sir Join A MacDonald first Prime Minister of Canada--visit his house--its a world heritage site--amazing.

Yo your fella is lacking, why should you do all the work? He just did the intro and outro that was it.. lol. Good video though, great insight.

[@ThePlanetD]

Haha! We mix things up and he works harder on other videos. But he was also busy taking the photographs on this trip. He's a photographer and we have lots of photos on our blog about Kingtson. Thanks!

Kingston is terrible

[@ThePlanetD]

Sorry you don’t like it. We really loved our time there

[@jimmyjohn8644]

@@ThePlanetD I'm glad you enjoyed it try to travel a little bit more Kingston really isn't that special.

[@ThePlanetD]

Well, we have been to 120 countries and travel for a living, so I can say, that we don't need to try to travel a little bit more. But, you do you - and hopefully, you won't feel the need to insult people in the future. Cheers. @@jimmyjohn8644
