Oh yeah ... now I remember ... you mean that Ossy has made it as far as gas:eek: And I know they eat lots of beans in Ossy:(

Re: No crib in town centre
 

By the way ... we have one original gas light left in Kingston .... located at the corner of King St. and Lower Union St. ... So there is one corner of our city at which you can still be "leaning on the lampost at the corner of the street."

I'll see what I can do.

A SPECTACULAR LIGHT SHOW! What a splendid opportunity to encourage out of towners to visit the town's market. Celebrate the season in Accrington with all manner of food stalls and festive events, come and see how a traditional Christmas is prepared for and celebrated. Here is an invitaton also to the more ethnically separate among us to integrate a little, understand, take part in and enjoy the traditions of their new homeland.

A little forethought and planning and the preparedness to take a gamble would be all it would take to make Accrington and Hyndburn a seasonal magnet for shoppers and tourists.

Instead what do we get.... the same old tired stings of coloured bulbs and and precious little else. Is it any wonder that people prefer to do their shopping elsewhere.

Can't find one on Kingston's web sites. I guess I will have to get myself a camera and take one of my own. Photography never really interested me, but looking at the pictures on accyweb, has convinced me that it is time I tried a little photography. I hope I don't turn into a photo-crazed idiot:eek: ... but I probably will:D You may have created a monster.

On one of the freebie Sky channels, I saw a programme about hauntings in Canada and it showed an old part of Kingston where a woman was murdered in an alley by her lover , who happened to be her nephew (naughty). It seems they hold spooky tours in Kingston.

Re: No crib in town centre
 

Actually yes we do have spooky tours. They are called the Haunted Walks of Kingston. Walking tours of Kingston's (very) numerous haunted sites. There is even a Haunted Pub walk, for those who like a little imbibement with their ghosts. Just Google Kingston, ON, and you will find out all about it. Along with some neat pics of our beautiful city.
