My grandpa is a regular "downtown is dead" whiner but every time we do downtown he says it looks better than he remembers.
The bizarre thing in Kingston is that there was heavy opposition to the building of the K-Rock Centre (where the Frontenacs play)—and from the flogging a dead horse file, the opponents still actively maintain their website, over five years after it opened. I wonder how dead downtown would be without it.

I sometimes wonder if the longtime Kingston residents that constantly complain about downtown parking have ever traveled anywhere else other than Belleville.
