Dear Editor,
Studley Park Road in Kingston, next to the former offices of the Ministry of Health, holds a very special place in the memory of many Jamaicans, in particular for those who attended and attend Calabar High School.
As a boy I can remember walking on that road to get to and from Chetolah Park Primary School, to go to Mr Myers' shop to buy scouting and sporting supplies, and on my way to King's Store in Jones Town to buy things for my school. The former students of All Saints Primary School would also have very fond memories of Studley Park Road.
The current residents of this road need to visit Bond and Regent streets, in West Kingston, as well as Love Lane behind the Ward Theatre; Rum Lane and Gold Street in Central Kingston, then ask themselves:
1. What value or worth have their residence on this street added to the street itself or to the community as a whole?
2. Why should they be allowed to continue living there?
