173 years

1842- so 173 years.

173 years

Wow!! 39 pages of brain-tickling!

 

I peek in every so often to get some of the neat info 

Georgetown officially became a city in August 1842.

In August 2015 the city will be 173 years old.

Today, April 16, Georgetown is 172 years old.

Anyway, Gilbakka is a merciful man.

Django, Anjali and Riya are all winners.

Now, yuh all go and brush up on your subtraction. Don't mek da mistake again. Class dismissed.

Georgetown gained official city status on August 24, 1842, during the reign of Queen Victoria. In 1848, the British built a railroad, five miles (eight kilometers) long, from Georgetown to Plaisance, which was the first railroad on the South American continent.

I noticed Guyana had the first railroad in South America.

Join us we need the help.

Ok Sir Gil, will try not to make that mistake again and thank you.

Because dem Spaniards in South America were content to sit on their high horses. Little British Guiana mek dem decide to go for the iron horse/railway.

Guyana had the first iron horse/railway in South America

Where is Ball today?

Ball lived near Rainbow Terrace.

And Mars should know the place too.

I'm keeping this quiz open till this afternoon.

I need the name of the street where Rainbow Terrace disco was located.

Rainbow Terrace I never went to but I do remember the name. There are two places that cross my mind. First one I'll take a stab at is a place on Lamaha Street going up towards Middleton street and Campbell avenue. If that's not it, then there was another place in Durban Street Lodge which could be the Terrace.

Btw, the disco in the Chronicle Building was called Shabari.
