That's very true. Last night I headed to downtown Kingston to meet some friends at Tim Hortons, and I parked one block away. I realized that although I didn't park right at Tim Hortons, it was still closer than if I had gone to Loblaws and had to walk across the parking lot.
Best of all, parking is free in the evening in Kingston. Now that's something the complainers conveniently forget.
