Kingston, ON
Kingston is a city in Ontario, Canada, on the northeastern end of Lake Ontario. It is at the beginning of the St. Lawrence River and at the mouth of the Cataraqui River, the south end of the Rideau Canal. Kingston is midway between Toronto, Ontario, and Montreal, Quebec, and is also near the Thousand Islands, a tourist region to the east, and the Prince Edward County tourist region to the west. Kingston is nicknamed the "Limestone City" because it has many heritage buildings constructed using local limestone.
Growing European exploration in the 17th century and the desire for the Europeans to establish a presence close to local Native occupants to control trade led to the founding of a French trading post and military fort at a site known as "Cataraqui" (generally pronounced /kætəˈrɒkweɪ/ ka-tə-ROK-way) in 1673. The outpost, called Fort Cataraqui, and later Fort Frontenac, became a focus for settlement. After the Conquest of New France (1759-1763), the site of Kingston was relinquished to the British.[5] Cataraqui was renamed Kingston after the British took possession of the fort, and Loyalists began settling the region in the 1780s.
Kingston was named the first capital of the United Province of Canada on February 10, 1841.[6] While its time as a capital city was short and ended in 1844, the community has remained an important military installation. The city is a regional centre of education and health care, being home to two major universities, a large vocational college, and three major hospitals.
Kingston was the county seat of Frontenac County until 1998. Kingston is now a separate municipality from the County of Frontenac. Kingston is the largest municipality in southeastern Ontario and Ontario's 10th largest metropolitan area. John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada lived in Kingston

Sabe me informar por gentileza sobre significado desses cadeados na ponte?
Se trata de candados habituales que los visitantes cierran en la valla para registrar su visita. Es decir "yo estuve aquí". En los candados ponen sus iniciales o la inicial de los nombres de los novios. un poco romantico
nice view. keep it up!
I am definitely visiting next year!
DRIVE + EXPLORE: ...C'mon!... We need an explanation of what we are seeing!... If you move the camera sideways too fast... the image gets blurred... We need to see a map of where the town is located!... If the correct name of the town is PEMBROKE... why the misspelling?...
Thanks for catching that typo in the name.. it’s been corrected. And your observations well received; working to make the channel better gradually. However, a general description of the town is in the description.
Que miedo 😢
