Brings back so many good memories! So sad to see it like this..have been to Freeport many times and can still picture the busy stores and where I bought my first Ziggy Marley CD...
My boyhood friend circa 1968, when we lived in Freeport, sent me this. He lives in Scotland and I in California. I have always envisioned meeting again in Freeport to visit the old haunts. I never dreamt it would be in such ruin! Same with the Kings Inn across the blvd. Tamara, do you have any idea what happened and when? Was it caused by Prime Minister Pindling's financial coup by cutting off tourism, folding many businesses into the bank of which he had substantial interests?
I visited Freeport and found the LOCALS rude and ignorant. Happy to see the place in ruin. Since then I vacation in Mexico and Cuba where I am treated well and feel welcome.

I was very young when I went here. The stores look boarded up for a a tropical storm and then never opened again. Nature is reclaiming the land back.
I remember when this was once a very lively booming with business place. Very sad to see it like this.
How sad. We visited every year from about 1998-2005. This & the adjacent straw market were my favorite spots .
Man the bazaar was the place to be at night even during the day it was boomin I’m in shock
