I actually like Belleville's main street downtown quite a bit but it needs way more residents and local businesses to feel fuller and denser. It suffers the same issue that every other small town and city faces in this country which is the historic downtown has been replaced by power centres near the highway. It would be really nice if they could get density on both sides of the river. They're selling condos in Belleville and the prices are....not cheap.

i was there from 1992 - 1994. I hated Belleville, but it was an interesting place town-wise, it had some charm. I think there was still a Woolco or something like that in the downtown when I moved there but then closed down. I spent the two half summers living in Kingston the other half I came home to BC. In the school year, we would go to Kingston quite a bit to go to the one gay bar there and some various events. I did get to see some bits of Prince Edward county but not very much, it seems to have become a hot spot many years after I lived there. I often see write-ups about the county area in Canadian House & Home magazine.
