What are your earliest memories of Kingston?

The green JOS bus I would take to school and around. Riding my BMX bicycle up and down and visiting Bean’s cycle shop on Half-Way-Tree Road. Playing video games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong and remembering when television would sign on at four in the afternoon.

What do you miss when you’re not in Kingston?
