I do completely understand the issues that require no traffic going west to east on Front but the remaining traffic flow could be greatly improved if there were officers rather than stop lights controlling traffic flow on Queen street.

So for the woman who nearly ran down pedestrians if the reported story is factual, I hope someone got her license plate number and reported her, and that charges would be forth coming, this is something we all need to be mindful of, Bermuda is only but so big, so any form of a delay and as long as the lines were yesterday morning is a sign of some form of major incident has occurred.

So let cool heads prevail for goodness sake, and if you think you had it bad for one day and possibly a few more as the traffic has not yet return to normal, our plight is not as near as bad as those whose business are effected and lost in goods and employees who now face termination of employment, in no fault of their own or their employers.

For those who may say, oh they are money people and they are insured, I say grow the hell up, and shut up if you have not been in a position of loosing everything, Onion Jacks may have been insured and may eventually rebuild, but the lost in stock is said to be over $250K and the lost of jobs are not replaceable at this time for those who work there, neighboring business chewstick just getting their feet wet in a new location and now this, how do you suppose they will recover, they surely don’t have deep pockets.

So as a charitable exercise how many will come to the rescue of Chewsticks and help salvage a well known business that crosses many cross sections of our community, you heard a few business were able to relocate because they had a back up plan, they also have deep pockets, will they be the first to help relocate Chewsticks, maybe since they were directly effected and can feel what Chewsticks is feeling, so in closing pipe down the heat and out of the ashes let’s help to bring a resolve even for other near by businesses that have not been named but like wise greatly effected.
