Crowds Starting To Line Streets For Bermuda Day

May 24, 2015

Crowds are starting to line the streets in advance of tomorrow’s [May 25] Bermuda Day festivities, with some of the popular viewing spots such as Cedar Avenue starting to buzz with preparations for tomorrow’s events.

Some people had, as always, marked their spots along the race and parade routes days in advance, with the use of spray paint causing a number of reactions on our story about the markers being removed.

          As it is an Arabic greeting spoken in many different dialects there is no definitive correct English spelling.

          The second letter is generally considered to be an “s” and not an “l” as that is how it is pronounced.

    Hope all the cctv cameras are working to make sure everyone picks up there trash and the tape they conveniently leave on the side walks.

    • Mockingjay says:

      That’s what we pay CoH for, should have had cctv for the $18 million.

    • Yes money well spent if the CCTV cameras are able to nab those who litter and commit such an egregious offence of putting tape down and not removing it.

        How about ticketing those Jay walkers for a court appearance, they are all over the road for miles !!! It’s impossible to get any cars through there . Most of them are wearing running shoes, and all them wearing numbers, so they shouldn’t be hard to find !

        :-)

        Have a wonderful day everyone. Good luck to all the runners, walkers , cyclists, supporters and others.

    Got the spray cans

  6. Southampton says:

    What is the Corporation of Hamilton going to do about the idiots that applied spray paint to the sidewalk to reserve a space to watch the parade. That is de-facing public property. Total idiots.
