Please don’t call and ask him for the correct answer. That’s cheating.

    I am a country girl, and sorry to say, I can’t say anything about the place. When I used to go to Roseau in the last century, it was like going to London. And if I had known that DNO would ask this question in this century, I would surely have learnt more of my geography. All I can say, very nice picture, beautiful sunshine, and everlasting green trees. Please DNO keep some for the next century. I was there last century, I am here in this one, and I will surely will be around to the next one. I’m going to memorize!!

    The building under construction is the Apartment Building on Cork Street, opposite Acme Garage. You can see the Arawak Cinema, the Documentation Centre and the Riverside Apartments in the right.

    This was the site of the Roseau Mix school…opposite Karam’s garage on Cork Street..this apartment building replaced the school.

      The school was the Roseau Mixed Infant School. When I attended back then, I never realised that the wall was so close to the school building. During “recess” time, we used to be running up and down in that space which, to us 7 and 8 year-olds, was so large.
