@Anjali. I checked for hurricane weed on the Internet. It looks surprisingly similar but it's not carrion crow bush/senna alata.

@Django, I'm smiling here because I presume you might have discovered what I did to file the pic. Check properties.

ANALYSIS OF POPULATION.

of British Guiana consists of

Creoles, born in British Guiana         65,252
Creoles, immigrant from West Indies   9,899
Africans          15,796

English, Irish and Scotch          2,162
French, Dutch and German          445
Coolies (Asiatic)          343

Up to 15th October 1841, the following immigrants were yet
landed :
From the West India Islands          2,285

From Madeira          1,663
From the West India Islands          966
From Africa          2,218

no wonder you is a crack head

Sorry I'm late, guys.

The Chronicle newspaper is printed at Lama Avenue, Bel Air Park, Georgetown. Where was the Chronicle newspaper printed before?

whew! there you are

Okay, let me go put my thinking cap on

Vlissengen Road

Nah bai.

Bhai how many location that printery change,i got the

answer from this quiz.

Ruimveldt

Industrial site, Ruimveldt

Still wrong. Chronicle is the oldest newspaper in Guyana. Burnham took it over from D'Aguiar who had bought it from some colonials. Burnham moved the Chronicle from its original location and settled it on Lama Avenue where the Graphic was printed, two doors from Vlissengen Road.

Try again.

No. You and Anjali can try again.

I have to be fair here, buddy. I had disqualified Riya for giving an answer in the form of a question. So I will say you're asking the correct question.

Yes, the Chronicle newspaper was printed in Main Street for decades. The building stood opposite Hotel Tower. One trivia: in colonial time the first copies of the Chronicle were rushed to Government House down Main Street for the governor's reading pleasure.

Gil, i think we are re-writing Guyana history on this thread.

keep it up bro.

I like the old style building . Had no idea about the trivia re the colonial times and the paper being rushed to Govt House for the Governor to read. I'm learning history and I love it, thank you Sir Gil for all your effort in doing this, I actually look forward to the questions every morning.

I have wan qestian what is pressa foot? like when people say he is a pressa foot

Sorry sir, I didn't see the rules being published. I thought your quiz show was like Jeopardy where you answer with a question. 

I remember looking up those stairs at the side of the Chronicle Building when I was a child and thinking that they were so many of them.

I think there was a disco up there after Chronicle left. Shabari?

a person who like to impress people.

a hope me answer is correct.

The weather is fine today to do some grave-digging.
