You make it sound like the Berlin wall! He built it to define his property and keep people from wandering over his extremely large back yard - and stealing his fruit! Just about every house in Nassau has a wall, hedge or fence to set the boundaries of the property. Collins just had a bigger yard! :)


Good grief CG. Just say "Hail Hitler", and let us know how you really feel.
I guess the invasion of Ethiopia were just about Italians on a holiday to the motherland!?!?
Or ...the slave trade was a gross mis representation of the facts.

You are totally sickening now.
:taped2:

Go behind that school at the bottom of Collins Avenue, up around Star Insurance building, you will see the wall.


why isnt it just knocked down then ..?
i think i may have seen something that resembles a wall. but im always in a hurry .. so i generally only have eyes on the car in front of me ..

c'mon ... everyone knows the story behind that wall, and it wasn't about protecting his guineps and scallop plums.

the wall extends far...pieces are next to super wash on Ross corner and as far as Donald Davis school. Back in the day certain set of people were shoot at for attempting to cross the wall in order to go to the other side.

I see that wall everytime I look troo my corner...funny I never knew why it was there until yesterday......but Im not sure how many others know the history of that wall or rather what it symbolised in Bahamian history...thank you newry

well if you didnt know why did you make such a sweeping (and rather errouneous) generalization? you probably een never seen the wall...when was the last time you was walking troo fritz lane after dark?...do you even know where that is?

It serves as a reminder...
knocking down the wall is like knocking down the slave houses out Clifton or stop celebrating fox hill day...Its a long wall, that stretches several miles. Some people have it as part of their fence and boundary.

well, your response bothered me as a black man...but I held back just in case I was being too emotional. Glad to see others feel that way about your comments. Its easy for the person who sheds out the blows to shout out lets forgive and forget, but the one who has the scars will remember it forever.

to me it isnt even about the scars but understanding your history and knowing the truth as not to repete it but we havent learned our lesson yet...all we do is cover up and try to hide or sugar coat the truth!...some unsuspecting and gullible person who doesnt believe in truth after verification wouldve believed what CG said took it and ran with it...and that would have been a travesty...this reminds me of another of his episodes where he speculated that all the "original bahamians" were killed of in our Bahamas...and there not here...they are here...but in modern day form...dont mean to beatup on ya cg sometimes you are too cavalier for your own good...but Im sure you understand and an apology to us in in order wouldnt you agree cg? in any event dialogue is a good thing...

What I was trying to point out was that the three things are not the same. The wall was a wall! It seems Y3k was linking the three together.

Anyway, stop buying limes from potters cay .. LOL ..

Yes I do know where Fritz Lane is.

I have also been around long enough to see a lot more of the wall than you younger folks. Much of it is down now.

By the way the house, which was a smaller version of the one he had in the US (if you can believe it) This was his winter house.

It was once St. Andrew's School. There was quite a bit of the wall in the 1950's when I went there to school. So, yes I have seen it, walked on it and all!

That is right I did and it was. I was not there that long maybe a year. Did not really like it there.
