I'm betting bars don't go all out for a reason you pointed out, all the college/university students are gone. They see a big chunk of the bar crowd that is not here so they don't feel like trying. Vicious circle, the bars don't think they can attract a lot of people so become lazy. People who do want to do something leave town and take their money elsewhere or stay home. The bars don't see a big jump in business on NYE..... lather, rinse, repeat.
When I was a little kid it was staying up to midnight that was the big deal. A firework display is nice, but if it's 3 hours before the year changes, I don't see the point. Take out the kids, go home and still have to deal with them trying to stay up to 12am. Strange idea.

Also in the West End another US store coming. Says one that is not in the city right now. Ironically in same area as Lowe's which the City tried to fight and we know how that ended. Cost taxpayers $60,000 in legal fees. No fight this time of course because the Springers are involved. LOL.

Honestly that's the only mention I heard all weekend about the Promenade. I forgot it had happened till Sunday morning and I saw Saturday's paper. And I work downtown. Go figure. More people were talking about the Triathlon for what it's worth.

Grabbed a tweet from Neate Sager. Covers junior hockey for Yahoo Sports.
"Really, Kingston, really? You gave the Frontenacs the sweetheart deal of all time but screwed it up with the NBL. #sameoldsameold"

Although seeing as we had the Speaker of the House who could not vote [unless in a tie] and had to stay neutral at least Ted doesn't have that to deal with. I met Milliken a few times and he did a great job as Speaker. Idea of all parties agreeing on someone over and over for a decade is mind boggling.
On a funny note check out the front page of The Whig, we all make mistakes but this was a doozy yesterday. They apologize for spelling Ted Hsu incorrectly. I know, you would think that name would've been drilled into their heads over the election. Spelled it "TSU" on Tuesday in the main headline on the front page. Oops. The stranger one was they also apologized for calling Daniel Beals, 'Nathan' and then 'Eric' in the same edition. All right then. This is where Kingstonist is very glad this is a blog and can make easy corrections. :)
