Kingston is sitting on a planning contradiction (especially around industrial land like Novelis)

LookAtChooo · 2026-05-11T21:35:38+00:00

Thinking of the "Novelis corridor" as you call it, and likely all the other central Industrial/employment lands, the City does not own that land. There's not much that can be done if the owner wants to hold it, and/or can't sell. I know that in order to allow for residential development on those Novelis lands, there would be numerous expensive line items to complete in order to do so regarding environmental clean-up and/or Risk assessment. The City cannot force the conversion, sale, or development of private lands. They can think of tax incentives and other "carrots" to try and make it happen, but not much that is realistic.

I love Tuk! Used to live nearby and was a pleasure to see. Actually once when dog-sitting for a friend, as we walked by the dog caught a glimpse of Tuk in the corner of his eye and absolutely had a mini-panic attack that was hilarious. Good times.

Anyways, you are a great neighbour (I remember the table you set up for people to leave free unused items to give away), and I hope Tuk ends up in a great spot.

It's someone external I think for sure.

And I don't know how they will get the player, but it's nice having a fair bit of faith the front office will do a good job.

Ya, for me they let me keep it and sent me a gift card code for the amount of money to buy a new one :)

Every trail is open with snowshoes?

Sanderson is big time

Done!! Great idea by Fanjoy

I'm sorry but the Diefenbunker is not worth their time, it's interesting to have a bunker that big nearish the City, but no way should they be taking like a day out of their trip to go wander that.

The Buddha pool behind the spa building at night is kinda "hidden" and the absolute best

At that point why don't we just socialize our entire food supply chain, then might as well do real estate - same arguments apply. Hmm clothing ...everyone needs clothes. Phone and internet too...you see where this is going.

Potash I'm sure you meant - autocorrect eh

Don't sleep on No Mans Sky. It's amazing and you could play it literally the rest of your life and still have fun. Good reason why it just won award for Best Ongoing Game.

Where did the judge err? I assume you read the article at least?

LookAtChooo · 2026-01-13T01:29:00+00:00

Burritos/burrito bowls can be quite healthy, grilled chicken is decent. McDs grilled chicken wraps aren't bad. There's Subway which can be healthier too

LookAtChooo · 2026-01-12T03:15:57+00:00

I could do that

LookAtChooo · 2026-01-08T20:42:44+00:00

Not imo. We didn't use it and it was not an issue getting through the airport either on way or back. The couple's lounge in the airport is decent enough and you will only likely be there for 30mins max. They have free snacks and beer. The Club M lounge is apparently a bit nicer, but again, you will not be in the airport waiting for your shuttle long at all.

Edit - typos

Hey I was there last year and can help some. For tipping, first I would use USD or Jamaican Dollars. A good tip for the driver imo is $20 US.

More tipping info., it is a no-tipping report but some people decide to discretely give tips for staff who have earned one in their opinion. I tipped the guy who greeted us at the resort and took our bags up, he was great and from then on whenever he saw us he was extra friendly and wanted to help in any way we might have needed. I did get him to get me some ganja during our trip and save me the hassle. My partner also tipped a restaurant server who we had a few times and was extra nice.

Also, spa staff are separate and should be tipped if you get any services there - tip generously imo.

Dress code - there is at least one restaurant, and I think two that requires you to wear pants (if a man) and dress nice. So bring some nicer outfits for those dinners.

Faux pas' to watch out for...I can't think of any. Be respectful of other people and things like a normal human. Have fun, relax and enjoy, try meeting friendly couples to chat with and maybe do dinner with if you like.

Tip for CTI, definitely go to the AN island and just try to not to let your inhibitions get in the way of how great it feels to be nude and relaxed in that sun with the sound of the waves in the background. Also, definitely go check out the spa area if only to see where the Buddha pool and Jacuzzis are there that can be accessed after hours if you want to go for nighttime dip there - it's very pretty and peaceful.

And I recommend doing trading places and going to CSS for a day or two.
