This kind of remark suggests a lot of bowing down to worship was involved?

doing with the famous landmark of Georgetown, the Garmont Hotel on Lumbard Street? Garmont made every boy a man in G/T. They were taught by experience women of the bartering trade. Lumbard Street needed a face lift along with the night life up them long steps. Many men here have success stories to contribute. Take it away, guys! dancing banana, yes...

Gaumont on Lombard Street??? Pakaraima on Lombard Streets had long steps. Gaumont was on High Street.

Anta, the one at Leopold and Lombard, is that Pakaraima? The cheese hung out there one one time and the ole man use to get vex tarass because he always would get into trouble.

Pakaraima was above Foos Furniture Store. It wasn't on the corner itself. Around '81 the owner of Gaumont died and left the business to his teenage son who used to run around GT with a pack of goons from La Penitence area. I almost shoved a blade in that little prick once. He used to beat up a girl I knew.

Poornima that is the movie with our young sikh brother (in those days) Dharmendra Singh Deol.

It certainly brought back memories but not of the hotel.

Can someone verify that Garmont is on Lombard Street? I leave Guyana a long time ago, and I may be mistaken its location.

oh please shut up, geeezzz

Why you want me to shut up? You have frequent visitor mileage from Garmont.

You're in a cranky mood since Irene didn't (blow) you.

Gaumont is NOT on Lombart Street. Now you know. I used to work at a sawmill in Lombard ST. It IS on High St near Radio Demerara and Silvie Auto Parts.

NO! "it does not take ..."


Garmount was not on Lombard Street - it was on HIGH STREET - not far from Radio Demerara.

I also googled to verify my memory of driving pass there everyday.

no wonder you talk and think like you inhaled a lot of sawdust.

Guyanese men may wish to relive the night life in younger days. It seems time has passed them by too long to bring up such wonderful memories. True Guys?

Correct Nehru.
Cain's may be referring to his favorite place on Charlotte Street - Terry's Inn.

The men who frequent those places are categorized as male prostitutes as well. If the women are sex workers, the men have to be fulfilling their sexual desire. Selling sex or buying sex on either sides are prostitutes. Anyone knows that? Well, Cobra just made that known to the men. I also think most of the men were married and involved in dutty sexcapade which makes matters worst.

Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) today said that it discovered in excess of 3000 used condoms which caused a massive blockage at the corner of Sixth and Light streets Alberttown yesterday.

A statement from GWI today said that responding to several complaints of sewage overflows, GWI’s sanitation team discovered an overflowing manhole at Albert Street. “The sewage was practically gushing,” stated Sanitation Supervisor, GWI, Wayne Langford, “immediately we noticed a number of articles including clothes, concrete, and a significant amount of condoms amongst the sewage”.

Langford further explained that GWI was then required to conduct a lengthy exercise to locate the source of the blockage underground. “We were fortunate enough to locate the huge blockage below Sixth and Light Streets before sunset,” stated Langford, “it was then that we noticed an enormous amount of condoms which clogged the system and affected the operations of the sensitive devices used to pump the sewage out of the city.”

There was a joke that Trinidad purchase used condoms from Guyana to make chewing gum to export back to (Chico-Guyana).

Terry's Inn was also called Red Door. Nice Nice Binnies in there. Opposite Strana Cinema. good old Days.
