androsann 06-09-08, - 07:15 PM I think bay street could use some green space, among other things.
The straw market is an embrassment. Last time I been in there I aint see no bahamians or any thing bahamian for sale...and I've been seeing some beautiful straw work around but not in the straw market. When I bring my friends from the states home with me the straw market is not a stop on my list.
Can someone tell me where I can find a nice straw bag to carry back with me? I am in love with some of these new desaigns I seeing on ladies arms around town. I was told they coming from Long Island.
You need to come home and check some of the ones that are being made here at the moment. Beautiful work!

Check out Festival Place on Prince George Wharf. Also the craft market on PI!

good on ya ... yes, we were all tight, and we ALL went to SAC because her daddy went to SAC.
he lived in the monastery for several years as a brother and resident intellectual historian, dramatic pirate's beard and all, before returning to "civilian life." quite a guy, alice's father :cutie:.

beautiful, structured bags with an amazingly tight weave unlike much of what one sees in the straw marketplace. I have a small straw doctor's bag she styled several years ago that i still get compliments on.

natureboy2136 06-09-08, - 10:03 PM In a nut shelll.. it will mean the end of fake material at what we know know as the Strew Market....BOL... The way i see it is this government is looking out for special interest groups in this country. Hubert Ingraham have the gall to not build the people a new straw market after criticizing the opposition at one of his rallies for not building a straw market in 5 years. He even called them WATLESS for not doing so & promise that if reelected he will set about building a state of the art straw market. He also said a vote for the PLP IS A VOTE FOR CRIME & in a space of 1 year all levels of crimes are up under his government. I'll never vote FNM as long as i live in this country & my children after me will never vote FNM.
