Once the capital of Canada and a major center of shipbuilding, the hometown of Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald is better known today as the home of Don Cherry (I'm not a fan of his, but I know where he's from) and Kingston Penitentiary. Some of the older parts of town have a colonial charm to them, like Yonge street, on the west side of Olympic Harbour.

Check out the anchor in front of the Portsmouth Tavern.

I dunno if anyone was looking for Peter's Drugs, but here you go.

I hear stone houses are naturally cool in summer, warm in winter.

It may be clad in siding nowadays, but this proud house still shows its age gracefully.

I think this old house has been converted into a garage with a loft apartment above it, or is it a storage area above? Whatever it is, the vines help make it look cool.
