thanks for posting that, maka. enjoyed watching it. effective public transit facilities is always a good indicator for a city, and i am happy to see this in Kingston. i didn't know they had a second floor, and i wonder how an elderly person would get up there to board a bus.
i'm also curious about who designed the transit centre.

u know gen, i would never have thought u were this nerdy ... love it. there was a group, friends of the ioj, that i joined, to help signal an interest in preserving the institute and its historical place. fledgist, who used to be on this board, was also a member, if i recall correctly. don't really know waagwaan with the group these days tho, and i'm hoping the institute has begun to do more active collecting rather than just keeping the dust off the stuff that was collected a long time ago.

Hmmm. Wondering if this a piece of Jamaican history better left forgotten.
It was sold to United Fruit Company who instituted American segregation within it's walls...
