One building doesn’t fix St. John’s, but it’s a start.
You have a calling yoing turner. I was always confused when they put you in that ministry. You have been appoint3d to fix the city. Been too problematic for decades
The way i saw that house fall down like paper surly that couldn’t have been healthy
It was about damn time they did something about that building
Chinese use to be there many moons ago. If Chinese run then I guess that tells a picture
I must say that Turner is working in his ministry! It will really be lovely to see how lovely the city will look without these old buildings!
Big moves. Over the years all we heard is talking and bla bla bla and the city remaind in a bad state. Now we see action, Great work Turner.
The same thing need to happen in other islands. A lot of old broken down buildings just having the place looking like Kingstown Jamaica.
Im assuming the fourth generation had no money to refurbish and rent for space ?
Nobody could come together as a family and fix that place?
