A Jane Jacob WalkThis walking tour will begin at Anglin Bay parking lot where we will compare photos from the past with what we see today. Intriguing characters, events and stories from the Kingston's French, British and Industrial past will be highlighted. Proceeding north through Doug Fluhrer Park to Cataraqui St., we will discuss a number of current heritage concerns along the way: the repurposing of 9 North St., the issue of the Outer Station, the Woolen Mill, the National Grocer's Building and the Bailey Broom Factory. More recent aspects of this neighbourhood revitalization include the creation of the park in the 70s, the recent visioning exercise, last summer's award winning street art festival ON THE WALL and this summer's exciting Theatre-on-a barge event. On the way back we will have a look at the Molly Brant bust behind Rideaucrest - a taste of Kingston Aboriginal past.
