KINGSTON, the Rock’s bustling capital, marks 145 years as the cultural and social epicentre of our fair isle. Naturally with such vast responsibilities, the metropolitan space is rife for city slickers to tailor their lifestyle to its fast pace, while vacationers and business travellers are consistently invited to become better acquainted with one of the region’s most iconic coordinates. As fashion month takes hold of New York, London, Paris and Milan, SO makes a nod to our last city guide unfurled back in 2008. Let’s see how ‘town’ holds up nine years later with a landscape that has expanded to accommodate new addresses and has buttressed itself to maintain its timeless enclaves.
