Paging Dennis 'Zephyr' Dames....

[FACTS ONLY]

I read your letter to the editor just now. How come the change of heart? What happened between last week and the time you wrote the letter?

[FACTS ONLY]

hello Dennis, What Happened? What Do You Now Know, That We Should Know?

[Sunnyjohn]

Which paper???

[FACTS ONLY]

Todays Guardian......... Dennis says that he was in the front row and was indeed attentive to the business at hand.

He goes on to say that the new administration should give the deveolpers its full blessings to proceed, as the projest is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered for southwest Nassau. Its a decent one in his opinion he says.

I'm sure he can post his letter for all of us to read.

The way you carried on last week Dennis, and with your change of heart this week, I do believe you owe us an explanation. Or at least an education.........

Albany Development In Southwest Nassau, N.P. Bahamas - Endorsed By Webmaster/Blogger Dennis Dames
This entry is about: Bahamas


The recent town meeting on the Albany Development at St. Paul’s Catholic Church hall - is one that was appreciated by many of the surrounding residents present. This writer was in the front row, and was indeed attentive to the business at hand.

It is my view that our new administration should give the developers its full blessings to proceed, as the project is indeed exactly what the doctor ordered for southwest Nassau. It’s a decent one in my opinion.

I am fully aware of the economic impact on the nearby communities when South Ocean Hotel was in full operation over the years. It made restaurant and bar owners, shop keepers too - happy and busy in Adelaide Village – for example.

The Oasis on Adelaide road was also lively with tourists, so was the Mom and Pop Shop in Mount Pleasant village. The Car rental business there -was also bustling.

Let’s not forget the Western Transportation that use to be loaded on every run from South Ocean to down town. It was their bread and butter base for many years. Lots of taxi drivers too, were greatly motivated to make South Ocean Resort their stand, because of its active and lucrative customer base. The Albany project with its sophisticated concept is good news and friendly in many respects for the working class of west New Providence Island in particular.

The small strip of uneven sentimental way that’s proposed to be diverted – in order to make this luxury resort community a reality, is a minute price to pay for a project that will contribute at least $3,000,000,000.00 (Three billion dollars) to the Bahamian treasury and workers over the next fifteen years. It’s a small cost when compared to the enormous employment opportunities that will come along, as a result of Albany’s vision.

Familiar drivers of the proposed diverted strip of road are cognizant of what it’s like when flooding occurs. It is not a good road as it’s a seasonal and - unreliable passage so to speak. Neighbors in South Ocean could attest to the brutality of that piece of road in question when it floods.

It is costly to struggling families’ cars among others, as constant flooding results in dangerous pot-holes and cruel uneven surfaces that seem to be an eternal punishment. A lot of accidents have been instigated by the dangerous curves of this controversial path, coupled with its deadly perpetual uneven base. Its blind qualities have caught even the best drivers off guard – no doubt.

A new cut with its accompanying business and residential concept will create a fresh Bahamian entrepreneurial class that will complement the vision of the developers, and contribute in so many positive ways to the Bahamian economy in the short and long terms.

Let the record reflect therefore, that Dennis Dames and family of Mount Pleasant Village - wholeheartedly supports the Albany development in southwest Nassau, Bahamas.

I'd still like to know what new information Dennis dug up between the time he was posting articles here on August 28th and the time he wrote that letter to the editor on the same day, August 28th.

Netconnect, do you know something we should know?

If the Albany project is a good one for the southwest in its present approved form, I say let them proceed. I have not attended any town meeting so I would like to know what happened from last week to cause Dennis, who looked like he was about to slap someone and had to be restrained by the police, to take a complete 360 degree turn.

I can not speak for Dennis. I am also sure he will respond to this thread when he has time.

I did not attend last nights meeting but assume it is a replay of the first meeting except with an overhead projector so the participants could see the many pictures and diagrams that were presented in the first meeting. Not being able to actually understand what was projected, I am sure accounted for many of the outbursts the first week.

The major objections first were:

1. the re-routing of the road
2. property donanted for housing was thought to be swamp land, which Albany denied

As Dennis stated, and he is correct in every aspect, this section of road is always flooded during the slightest rain and the pot holes will swallow up a car. Only us locals know this as we are on it on a daily basis. Sunday travelers have no knowledge of this. As I stated in previous posts, this new road should be much better than what we have at present.

And as for Albany, once you shut up the one with the biggest mouth, half your battle is won.

That may well be, however, like you said, the locals of that area knew about the road. I assume Dennis is a local as well right?

Unless someone is out to fool my intelligence lol, Dennis has found out a whole lot of NEW information. I just want to be as educated as he is on this subject you know!!

Dennis is on the other side of the island by Lyford Cay in Mt. Pleasant, as his references to MoM & Pop store and Car Rentals indicate.

He may drive over here sometimes but I doubt it is his route to town.

Political whack job Dames appears to be. Just grabbing a few headlines, and maybe a bit bored with his life, so, he decides to make his-self known.....

In any event, this whole event is stupid. JMO!

Regardless of who is right or wrong, it is just stupid to see it go on the way it is now.

JMO!
