Cham, like you know cow dam good heh? Almost all the areas by the side lines are filthy. It's the peoples' dumping ground.

sk-man, i was there 2 yrs ago,  whenever i went to visit my aunty i walked there from public rd,  now they call it concrete strip.  i saw no cow standing around as was usual

Concrete strip been deh since the seventies I think but definitely since the early 80's. Used to be called Cowdam I believe.

Kas , I am saying the old post office, many years ago the old post office was by the last turn (road leading into roxy/market etc)  Then they moved the post office to opposite where I use to live. There is a story that not many people know about concerning the new post office, the builders read the blue prints wrong and the post office was built back to front, so the back of the post office is facing the public road. that was the mistake, It was too late to fix it.

That's  correct Amral i remembered the Old Post Office on the Dam by the road leading to Roxy Cinema.[or Train Station]

Bear in mind the two turns came when the new road was built.

True Django. In those days there were lots of accidents because of the dangerous turns along some of these roads. As a result they created the new roads and got rid of some of those tight turns. I remember seeing many people at nights carting away wheelbarrows full of sand and fine stones that was dumped along the roadside for the building of the roads. Many bottom houses of both indians and blacks along the leonora/Stewartville side were enclosed using those things. Even my uncle took a helping too with me and others helping to cart it away
