Downtown Areas

 I stumbled upon an interesting article on developing downtowns. Here it is: https://www.bdcnetwork.com/investing-downtowns-pays-cities-regions?page=3

More economic/business activity should lead to more demand for office and manufacturing space, which should lead to more investment in downtown areas. In Guyana, Georgetown has the largest and most established downtown area (which makes sense as it is the capital). The downtown area is expected to grow as economic/business activity increases. Linden's downtown area is, of course, not as established/developed. Linden is a small town that depended on bauxite as its main source of income. The bauxite company's office buildings and other facilities were probably the downtown area.

I was in Linden's main downtown area (sometimes referred to as "down-the-road" from Amelia's Ward) a few times recently.

Update

I was temporarily offline because of phone problems. I also had other problems (since I came to Guyana) such as debit/credit card problems. I even had problems with the hotel room shower. I am at a particular hotel because my debit/credit card works there (I am not implying that there are usually problems at the hotel - it is considered a luxury hotel).

I am looking around at opportunities in Guyana. One option is a training/human resources position. In previous positions, I did really well at training. (I am sure even reviews by employees would show this). One of my LinkedIn profiles is a HR resume.

I need to go out more. I was out and about yesterday. I went to COURTS (the furniture store that reminded me of Macy's) and some other places.

Guyana created history on Tuesday, Sept. 1st, 2020, with the election of the country’s first Indigenous Deputy Speaker in its National Assembly.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Lenox Shuman was nominated by Guyana Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips and seconded by Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance Gail Teixeira.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The election of Shuman, who served as Toshao of St. Cuthbert’s Mission and Vice Chairman of the National Toshaos Council, came as Guyana ushered in Indigenous Heritage Month.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #cariblingo #bareskunt #skunt #guyana ⁠⠀ #visitguyana #guyanagold #guyanavibes #guyanalove #guyanamakeup #guyananice #guyanaday #guyanaflag #guyanabeauty #frenchguyana #guyanafrancesa #guyanacarnival #guyanafood #guyananicebad #guyanathings #guyanaamazonwarriors #teamguyana #guyanashield#guyanaview #guyanaboa #georgetownguyana #discoverguyana #guyanaindependence https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPJwoFHrcZ/?igshid=xyv55me0tngl

It is a nice day in Georgetown, Guyana. It is 86 degrees Fahrenheit.

It would be nice to walk around Georgetown today (to get some jamoon and other fruits - I saw somewhere that jamoon is in season, purchase a cone from Dairy Queen, enjoy a cheese roll, and so on. I will “get out” at some point.

I have some health issues - nothing to be very concerned about. FYI: I don’t need to be indoors, attached to a machine or anything like that. I am fine. I have what I need (for now).

Good morning from Georgetown, Guyana! Google’s search page shows my location as Tiger Bay, Georgetown!

#Fun Things

It is Monday morning in Georgetown, Guyana! (Yes, I am away from the US - I am in Guyana, South America, the country of my birth). Guyana is a good place for a vacation. There is nice weather and lots to do. It is good place to “play.”

I had fun times in Guyana. I remember enjoying “fun days” and fairs (the Linden fair) and kite flying and so on. Even mass games was fun (but a lot of work too). I participated in mass games twice. I was about 7 years old when I participated in mass games for the first time. I was a student at Watooka Day. I remember our chapter was called Chapter Welcome. I trained for the mass games using a tin cover.

Posted earlier in Facebook:

It is a new morning in Georgetown, Guyana! I am up and feeling much better. Yesterday was rough. I was out most of the day dealing with issues connected with my debit/credit card. I tried to use my debit/credit card at 3 banks. I figured out that the five-digit pin for my card (set up by Bank of America in the US - I believe this is standard) was an issue. Everything is better and I am looking forward to a better day.

My laptop still does not work. It could be that the scan at the airport security checkpoint affected it. I am working to fix it soon.
