Montego Bay the beautiful

Published:Monday | December 30, 2019 | 12:09 AM

THE EDITOR, madam:

Montego Bay is truly a great city with the colours of our flag flashing in the newly-installed sign as a first ‘wave’ on arrival to that city. Also spectacular is the red, green and white decorations in the Sam Sharpe Square. The white ambulance-looking mobile police office is comforting, modern and chic.

Especially outstanding is the Jamaican Christmas decorations at the Sangster International Airport. A snowman made out of tires (now painted white)! Donkeys knocked together from wood cuttings! This brilliant artistry reflects very high artistic ethics, a model of thrift, and one easily replicated by any young aspirant.

Then there are the yellow (JUTC-size) buses that transport you from Montego Bay to Falmouth, and other nearby parishes.

Congratulations ... Mi feel proud as puss!
