Kingston

The City of Kingston is renowned as the fresh-water sailing

capital of North America and prides itself in being a major

port for scenic entertainment cruises of the breathtaking

Thousand Islands. Culture and the arts abound, along with

fabulous shopping, dining and outdoor recreational experiences.

From dawn until dusk and beyond, you will be amazed what

Kingston has to offer (text City of Kingston web site).

Before we moved here we stayed

at the Holiday Inn to look for a

Our stuff had to be cleared at the

Custom House on King Street

Kingston's most famous building is City Hall from the 1840 ies.

The old courthouse looks similar:

Kingston calls itself Limestone City, but there are also some red brick buildings.

There are a lot of excellent Cafes and Restaurants downtown.

These dolls have been dancing since we came, but now the store is for sale.

My reflection is in the window glass.

That's Limestone !

Here we go for pubnight................                                                          ........................and there everything is very inexpensive.

Old and new mix everywhere.

                            The old firehall is now a popular pub.                                                                                     Parking on Brock Street.

Some wintery scenes.
