Guyana is slowly being transformed.
Kitty market is a transformation? You better look around Guyana at all the modern buildings build by successful entrepreneurs and ketch sense. One match by caribj and friends when they get disenchanted and that structure gone fuh channa.

Lawd, this is what you are happily boasting about. Which country in this world uses such out dated methods of construction...
Restoration means using the same type of materials as was original, they are not rebuilding the great wall of China, they are restoring the Kitty Market.

Lol
I think that the government should apply for world heritage status for the market. There aren't many wooden markets still about that can trace their roots to centuries past. The restoration work is also one of the finest that I have ever seen on a wooden structure of such large size. Even more remarkable is the speed of progress under which the work is being carried out. A tribute to the workers indeed.
They will rehabilitate a TATA bus and have Warrior and Mitwah pulling them like donkeys pulling carts.
It is not yet an offence in Guyana to ride a donkey or get one to pull a cart. And Tata now also makes the Jaguar cars, which are high end driving machines. So nothing wrong with Tata engineering .

Historical buildings need to be kept and restored,happens right here in America,in some township buildings in declared historical area,owners are not allowed any external modification.

Indeed you are correct, normally the pnc Afros who are restoring the structure are on go slow during the ppp era. Now Granger not putting up with this behavior. All in all it will be good for the image of the nation to have this structure restored.

I am glad to see that you are also in support of Granger as far as not taking any nonsense from a lazy workforce. We won't be able to progress and make the country prosperous if we let those who find more pleasure in liming get away with the foolishness.

If you take away race baiting for the PPPites there would be silence. Nothing to post. A sad lot!!!!
That would be one way to clean up the board. At one time there was a lot of decent PPP supporters here. Intelligent people whom you could repect. They all gone embarrassed by the rabid racists that has taken over the board.

Ball, you're on the ball. The important thing is to maintain the original architectural character of Kitty Market which, in my opinion, should be declared a national heritage site like Stabroek Market. One of the saddest things in Georgetown was the destruction of beautiful colonial era buildings and their replacement with glass-and-concrete buildings lacking a Guyanese or Demerara character.

Not until you ride Granger back.

I guess you wanted some ugly concrete monstrosity, that would require massive amounts of A/C because it is "modern".
Guyana has been talking tourism since under the PPP. All Guyana offers is its heritage and its eco adventure. So maintaining heritage sites is key.
But I know you will want Stabroek market and all of the buildings on Ave of the Republic to be replaced by 10 story monstrosities.

Alena06, there is something known as heritage sites and if they are fully functional more power to it. Should the Taj Mahal be eroded should India pull it down and replace it something "modern"? Look at the beautifully restored Corbin building (that Corbin name!) on Broadway by John St in lower Manhattan and see if you would want to have it replaced with non-outdated methods of construction. C'mon, leave politics out of stuff like tis - you are better than that.
Anyone knows why the PNC and Uncle Tom has plans to modernize Big Market????

Making such a big fuss over the restoration of a market where criminals prey on shoppers on sellers on a daily basis. It's like a giant technological leap has been made under Granger. The mayor allowed garbage pile up and neglected the city. There is so much more to be done in G/Town. Don't think this restoration reflects a major in the lives of the people of GT. A lot more needs to be done

Well Hamilton started to attend to the city out as soon as Sooba was finally chased out of Town Hall. You are quick to point the fingers at the mayor, when in fact Georgetown was run by the Sooba inexperienced and lazy PPP representative under the command the of PPP elite. It is she who turned the city into a pile of rubbish after she halted almost every single project the major had already approved.

You were blind, dumb and deaf from 1992 to 2015. No question mark!!!
The stelling is collapsing once again. Mariott is a ghost hotel. The so called road to Amalia is almost close to disappearance back into the jungle undergrowth. Fast areas of the jungle consist of big holes and tree stumps. Is that the legacy that the PPP is now so proud of during their reign between 1992 and 2015?

You have to be a lunatic. If you lost your senses, I will remind you the murder Hamilton Green is the Mayor, not Shooba.. KUMBAYA.

I thought by now they would find a better substitute for zinc sheet roof, the salt air will rust that roof. With the abundant of so many types of wood in Guyana, why not make shingle roof, it will last equally as long as the rest of the structure and will keep the building cooler.
zinc sheets for roofing is good, how else when yo in the market yo gun no if it raining, it gun be by the sound of rain on the zinc sheets

Chill out with the name calling or else I will have to suspend you

There is corrugated aluminum and galvanized steel that is used in modern building. It doesn't rust like the cheap zinc sheets that we used long ago.
