Agreed!..All those old Loyalist/Upper Canada towns have that similar unique vibe. Maybe it's the stone architecture combined with the influences of their loyalist past still lingering around..It's like some of their the pubs with the dark wood and armour hanging on their respective walls seem to fit and sum up the spirit of these towns. Kingston, Brockville, etc. all seem to share that same feel.It's like the Anglo version of the old Quebec settlements. Kingston is a great city.
