There was once a shop that sold the best peanut punch in Georgetown. Name that shop and also the shop that introduced Cracker Jack and bubble gum to Guyanese. You must answer both to win. Please specify which is which.

Riya, I don't want to dampen your day so I'm sending you a souvenir pic of the Gaiety cinema.

Shanta's, Ferraj and the Nut Shop on Camp Street had the best peanut punch in GT.

Thank you Sir

Kay Donna.

By best, I mean the bestest best most widely recognized, and so you have to name one, and then answer the second part of the quiz.

       
       
I'd say Ferraj had the best but that's only my personal preference. Ferreira's in Kitty was also good.

       
       
I never heard of Kay Donna but I could be mistaken. I know of a different theater at BV.

Okay, what about the second part of the quiz, the shop that first imported Cracker Jack and bubble gum?

 

Thank you for the consolation prize

I was only answering Jeopardy like

Tivoli Cinema

I had kept a newspaper article on cinemas and that was metioned but it was before the year you had, sorry. I would say Tivoli.

       
       
Winner. That's the one I know. My uncle lived a few doors down from Tivoli.

Deadline: NOON EST & GUYANA TIME

Mars, I'll give you the prize.

Ferraz on Main & Murray/Quamina Streets arguably sold the best peanut punch.

Ferraz was also the first importer of Cracker Jack biscuits and bubble gum, during the Second World War.

Two personal observations:

[1] There was a red body scale in Ferraz that gave you a printed ticket stating your weight on one side, and your "horoscope" on the other, for 5 cents.

[2] I used to get my supplies of Dunhill cigarettes at Ferraz. In my younger years I smoked only imported cigarettes, buying one pack per week on my assistant master's pay of $96/month and later my public servant's pay of $117/month with yearly increments. I started smoking British-made 555 State Express and later switched to Dunhill. Occasionally I also bought a Havana cigar at Ferraz until dem Freedom House bai gave me Havanas they had brought back from Cuba.

One more thing, Ferraz closed down in the late 1970s because of import restrictions and sold out to D'Aguiar's which started Arapaima restaurant.

you a wan old,old,old,man

The man is not old old old, he thinks like a mature person

At the South West corner is the Cathedral (I was an altar boy there)at the North East corner was StMary's RC (been there) North East corner was a cake shop, North West corner was a ground used by StMary's scout troop ( I was also part of that) also the priests residence.

 

Where would that cinema have been perhaps the ground on the North West corner?

I cannot tell by the pic,sometimes negatives have been used on the wrong side (they did this to our wedding pic and had to do over)

The ground on the north west corner.

He started out in the British Guiana Broadcasting Service [BGBS] and ended his career in the Guyana Broadcasting Corporation [GBC] Channel 2.
