Ontario to Brock to Division to Princess back to Ontario to Market St to King East to West St. to Court St to Union to Sir John A..Best route to tour Kingston,s past.
Kingston is one of the nicest towns in Canada, you wont find a more polite kind caring town in general. It has that old town charm. Great place to live work, and if you like to ride motorcycles, look up a local CMC group to ride with. you wont regret it.
Thanks for the great video...my husband, daughter and I are moving to Kingston soon from Toronto. Financially we've been pushed out of Toronto...but we're not upset anymore...just happy we've found Kingston to continue our life as a family!
We did that same move in 1989 for practically the same reason. Kingston is very pleasant and doesn't take more than 30 minuets to cross the city. I wish all your family the best here.
Great driving tour! Kingston is such a beautiful and interesting city. So many things to do and see. And thanks for letting me re-live my recent mini-vacation to Kingston. Your new fan and subscriber from Markham Ontario.
Kingston needs badly to put some money into their streets. Last time I was there my car took a beating from the roads and streets. Of all the city's in Ontario, Kingston has had bad roads for ever and they don't seem to care.
Thanks for posting! I'm considering applying for a job in Kingston (I'm from Toronto), and I wanted to see what the city looked like/get a bit of the vibe. This is the next best thing to going there.
Forev Competitor Lol. I don't mind small towns/cities; I'd actually love to tour Ontario in the very near future. But I ended up not applying to the job. Though, even if I did apply and I got it, I wouldn't have lived in Kingston permanently.

Hi,i'm thinking of moving from T.O. did you ever make it to Kingston if so let me know what is like,thanks.
Ah Yes! I lived there on two different occasions. I see the traffic lights are still synchronized nicely on Brock St. to those who drive 40 kms per hour. I lived there in the 70s and 90s. I can still remember the song from 1973 -- "Back 300 years ago, long before Canada. Kingston town is now a city, Kingston is 300 years old." Loved that song. Wow! Morrisson's has been there forever!
Wrong! The French established a fort here in 1673. The French named the area Cataraqui and Fort Frontenac. After the Seven Years War in the late 1750's the British renamed it Kingston and was a main settlement for Loyalists after the American Revolution @1780. It was the base for the Royal Navy in 1812. It was the largest city west of Montreal then and in 1841 was capitol of Canada. Fort Henry, Queens, City Hall, Kingston penitentiary etc. are all about 170 years old.And hey I live here too. And Kingston DID have a big 300 year anniversary in 1973....I know I was there. You dumb punk.
spent over a year here while serving in the military felt very similar to my hometown. you should take a drive out past the base and the fort over the bridge and you will get a lot of ex soldiers checking out your videos. Thanks for the memories!
Just terrific, have visited Kingston 3 times now from N.Z.Greatest thing I remember? The Niagara Peaches from the Farmers Market...beautiful...Also the old Deli store??? Iconic building, business and divine odours...Thanks for the tour...oh and yes Tim Hortons of course....
By watching at this video indeed brought back a lot of memories , i still remember i got lucky really lucky to be able to visit Kingston due to my work. Also thanks to my company at that time to fly me there. Remember stayed in one of the hotel there called Kingston Federation Hotel . The town changed quite a bit but not that much :) , btw .. i love Tim Horton , the coffee is great. Use to buy it every morning when i walk to the office there for my work.. anyway , it's a great experience
Wrong! Kingston has cooler and less humid summers than Ottawa. Spring can be cold and miserable in Kingston because the lake takes a long time to warm up. Conversely fall is long and pleasant because the lake takes a long time to cool down. Winter doesn't really start until late December or even January.
Bullshit Bryan White! No they don't end up in Kingston. They get the hell out of Dodge ASAP. I have many friends and family who worked in the prison system and the last thing a Con wants to do is hang around a town where half the people work in the system and know who he is and what they've done. As far as meth head junkies are concerned Bryan maybe you hang out with the wrong people.
Nothing like Saskatoon. First of all its about 1/3 the size. Has one of North Americas top universities with 40,000 students. It has a military base and Royal Military College. Most of the rest work in government.
Nothing could be further from the truth. It is 175 miles from both places. If you are Canadian learn something about the country or go back to Bumfuck Egypt or whatever shithole you are from.
WOW this is an old comment but, Kingston was the first capital of Canada and is NOTHING like a giant suburb "town" It's a historic tourist city with top universities and a thriving foodie scene. You really haven't ever explored Kingston at ALL.
Kingston looks-like a nice peaceful city, built by diligent white folk. It seem to need some Muslims to liven up the landscape, sharia law and all the goodies come with the Eastern beliefs and practices The place needs some action and diversity, n'est pas ?

Amen brother! Best city in all of Canada. Life here is good.
Can I just say that Canada is the best and the most beautiful country in the world!
I have to agree 😊
Small Ontario cities are hidden gems.
Thanks for the great video...my husband, daughter and I are moving to Kingston soon from Toronto. Financially we've been pushed out of Toronto...but we're not upset anymore...just happy we've found Kingston to continue our life as a family!

@@jwccc47 Thank you so much!
It is shame to see what Toronto has turned into in the recent years.
@@Glue88 why? What is it related to?
A year later and I hope youre settled in. Kingston is my favorite city. I miss her so much
This place was once the capital of Canda... briefly.
Then it switched to Toronto
I used to spend Saturday afternoons here when I lived Watertown, NY. Nice to see the old town again.
i guess Im pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Zaid Alvaro I dunno I'd suggest Flixportal. Just google after it:) -ashton
@Ashton Korbin thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I appreciate it!!

Miss this beautiful and calm place. Class of exchange students of fall 2013...
is Kingston Ontario a bad city?..is it full of crime?... does it get super cold in the winter and super hot in the summer?

Conversely fall is long and pleasant because the lake takes a long time to cool down. Winter doesn't really start until late December or even January.
Not really there no crime but it does get hot and cold

I'm a bit late in answers but no crime is averaging for a city. It is damp and cold in the winter
Kewl. I live in Kingston as well. I usually go for walks in the areas you drove in (I'm on Concession st). :)
Kingston Ontario (1929 Film)

People rule Kingston streets. Doesn't matter you walked right in front of a moving car. We Kingston people are just special.
