Not sure if you had a different batch of gyoza than us, but what I tasted was quite nicely seasoned and as per the photo above, it was crispy rather than soggy.

Having never visited a ramen resto before, I wasn't too sure what to expect. Mine was not an amazing meal, but I think that has a lot to do with knowing what to order and what to expect. Clearly your tastebuds have a leg up on folks thanks to your wife. I would definitely go back, and I would be interested in trying out ramen in other cities to see how this compares.

You're referring to this guy, right?

That's a really great point re: improving things are broken in the neighbourhood. We live on a busy corner, which has had numerous accidents in the past few years, and somehow two of the street lights went out at the same time. We casually asked our neighbours to call Utilities Kingston to request that they be fixed, which worked far better than taking this on alone. One of those "squeaky wheel get's the grease" types of situations.

We've also got a neighbour who loves to trade produce. It's actually really awesome as we grow different veggies than her, so it's always a treat to get a little bit more variety. She also starts her garden quite a bit later than us, so our harvests are somewhat seperated.

I totally agree that it seems rude, but it happens. As the relative new kids on the block, my wife and I were quick to meet many of our neighbours, exchange contact info in case of emgencies etc... however there are a few households who prefer to go unnoticed. We've made attempts, but it's clear that some just want to be left alone. At the very least, my goal is to learn some new names this week, which will hopefully open the door to a friendly exchange down the road.

Two of my favourite cities as well, but I could never admit that they are more romantic that Kingston. The list is a bit ridiculous, but considering how they came to their results (sales of Michael Buble CDs , Kama Sutra etc...), it makes sense.

I suspected AJs or Stages. Good to know.

Looking at the picture, I'm having a hard time figuring out where exactly this is on Princess Street. I want to say it's where Modern Furniture was, which is now Trail Head, but I can't be sure. Any guesses?

Great that you're sharing this site with us, but the "sign by tomorrow" (which is now today) comment reflects poor planning in my opinion. If you are serious about getting your message out and obtaining support/signatures, it would be worth while to share your site more than 24 hours out from the deadline. I don't mean to single you out, but we get a lot of these last minute great ideas, which makes it difficult to give them proper representation.

Coming to a supermarket near you! $1/night is insane in comparison to what traditional rental stores used to/still charge. There used to be a rental store at Princess and University who operated on this model. They had a couple ATM-style dispensers, but it never really caught on. I suspect the Zip dispensers will be nothing more than a blip.
