"I tend to look at certain brands in terms of a product hierarchy. In the realm of food items, there are first the premium brand-name goods, then the stuff the Soviet communists ate, and then there’s Equality.
I’m naturally suspicious of any food that lists eggs...
"Eve’s Grocery at the corner of Clergy and Barrie creeps me out. They carry about five products, are always cooking something in a crock pot, and usually look kind of closed. All that aside, I kind of love the place.
Eve’s is a great spot to buy cheap pop. Sure...
"We got all wrapped up at Stuff’d Urban Eats on Bagot.

This location of Second Cup is a little rustic on the outside and on the inside,...

Each bus comes fully equipped with a hamper whose contents will be passed on to the Salvation Army as part of their Christmas Food Drive.
It’s a timely service, considering that...
"The Kingston rat is like most other rats in towns of this size. We
should all count our blessings that it is not like the Vancouver rat,
which is made from the same stuff that forms nightmares.
In fact, were these critters in a cage and we could avoid their

"But don’t get your hopes up- it’s not like they’re giving away free samples.
That said, there are a whole lot of holiday food items you can indulge in this season- and they’re available right as you walk through the door at A&P. Heck, you...
"While this post pretty much pertains only to Queen’s students and staff, it’s interesting to note that Stauffer Library on main campus is now open 24/7. For the remainder of the exam period (until December 21st) you’ll be able to study or socialize your...

"I miss having a washing machine and a dryer. I mourn the loss of these appliances more than most. However, there may not be a better city than Kingston to go washing-machine-less. The laundromats here are friendly, cheap, and great places to snag a date. In fact, the Central...
