For a country whose 1 industry is toursim, we need to clean this place up.
(1)I was walking the 66 steps the other day and when i finished i walked out to east street via prison lane (the same road the tour bus take to go to the fort or the stair case) and there were bags of garbage along side the road. :hot:

(2) I was eating at seafood haven and had a seat with a view (upstairs) and i was looking at the northern side of arawak cay and it was dirty and the old customs warehouse is a horrible eyesore.

(3) Bay street smells and there is always litter, the old buildings is a painful eyesore, and the traffic from betty k and pioneer (i think that is who it is) makes it that much worst.

I know realize why most of these hotels are trying to keep their tourist on property, cause the rest of the island starting to look like one big slum

Here are my answers.

Get MOW of their @&$ and let them get out there and clean these roads.

Arawak cay can be properly mantained by the store onwers commite if they all pay a small fee towards the upkeep.(they should no problem with this since they didnt pay the gov for occupancy for a restaurant)

Get those shipping biz off bay street and repair all the old buildings to reflect our rich Bahamian culture.

Man i was thinking the same thing the other day .. for a change i decided to look at the side of the road as i drove, up Village Road, onto Wulf Road, down Mackey street ... i mean every single piece of sidewalk or side of the road, grass (weed) had litter scattered here and there ...

I know we have some people in Nassau that are just generally nasty and dont care whether they throw their Wendies out the window as they drive (seen that way too much), But still, not all this trash can be from that .. i mean surely it blows around ... and even if it is .. who is supposed to be cleaning it up?

I know for sure, if I was a business or home on one of these streets, id want to put together a community team to clean this ourselves, if there is no government office to do that .. I mean from the Weeds about 4 feet high (yeah we dont actually have any grass, they done killed that long time from improper mowing of the grass at low heights and in the hot sun), and then the garbage, man its a national disgrace. .. :o

Oh yeah and having those shipping companies on main downtown streets where they are heavily accessed to and from one side of the island to the next, is just wrong, even more so that they are in the tourist down town area (bay street) .... which is really nasty anyway. I dont think tourists come to the Bahamas to inhale urine fumes... :hammer:

But whos going to start it? After all....cleaning up our own country is Haitians work right?

too much talk no action

the easiest thing to do is to move Bay Street and put it on Wulff Road where is suppose to have been.

Certain areas smell like urine too (the Queen's staircase, bay street, the busy forts where tourists visit all the time). Paints a sorry picture.

All the way back there?

All the way back there?


It isn't the location it is the symbolism.

eg. The University of Wulff Road.
